A visual retrospective of the turbulent year that was 2020 through the eyes of the New York-based multi-disciplinary artist Erik Foss.TWENTY TWENTY A Year in Pictures is a snapshot of Foss' psyche, and of one of the most turbulent years in recent American history. A lot of the events and changes of the past year directly influenced his work, depicted in this remarkable and expressive collection of imagery, bound together in ahardcover time capsule. 2020 was a horror show, but in many ways, that very horror has been the muse for his most artistically successful year.
