William Woodward’s masterful paintings present a satiric reflection of reality through the personification of the Seven Deadly Sins. His paintings hold up a mirror to society and force the viewer to acknowledge the extent to which their own inner selves are reflected in the scene.

Death. Destruction. Ill fate. Art in Doom features artworks by Tiffany Calvert, Beth Carter, Peter Olson, Nora See, and William Woodward, visually elucidating such unsavory subjects as political corruption, gender inequality, religious pathology, and the human condition. Cheekily scheduled during the springtime, a time of rebirth and rejuvenation, this exhibition derives its name from the event “Art in Bloom” which occurs at numerous museums nationwide during this time period. Taking a stark rejection of the idealization of Springtime, this exhibition highlights the dark and twisted pathos of humanity that is ever-present . . .
Exhibited at the Katzen Museum in Washington, DC, The Sins attracted record breaking crowds and has been lauded as the most attended solo show ever held at the museum.
