New York visual artist David Sandlin exhibit

New York visual artist David Sandlin is exhibiting two major series of work, “A Sinner’s Progress: A Modern Moral Journey” and “76 Manifestations of American Destiny,” consisting of drawings, paintings and hand-printed books, at the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts at UAB through Aug. 20. 

His detailed books, drawings and paintings — heavily influenced by comics — present narrative imagery and semi-autobiographical tales of morality, redemption and American exceptionalism.
