Steve Prince’s drawings won Best in Show at CAC’s New Waves 2004 exhibition and he has returned to exhibit new works in the Butler Gallery. Urban Epistles is a series of large scaled linoleum cuts and drawings that addresses various social, ethnic, racial, and modern moral dilemmas in our society and the world abroad. The work is timely, dealing with several recent and past historical events. Prince has utilized a method of visual communication similar to the old cathedral stained glass windows that carried the biblical stories through icons. Ultimately he creates a visual text that one may read like an open letter, i.e. epistle.
