Kurt Brian Webb is an Illinois printmaker whose woodcuts create social commentary that provokes the viewer through humor , satire, and cynicism. Webb’s Dance of Death series uses images of soldiers unknowingly intermingled with malevolent skeletal figures. Each two-color print is printed directly from a woodblock onto Japanese paper and is superimposed over a contemporary news story related to death and the war in Iraq.
