Collage with etching // The Oracle of Zeus by Joe Tilson, created in 1980, is an intricate collage and etching that combines natural and symbolic elements. The piece features a grid of lush green leaf prints, each subtly varied, arranged neatly across the page. At the top, a photograph of a hand placed on rough stone suggests a connection to nature and ancient rituals. Below, red geometric symbols evoke a mysterious script, perhaps hinting at divine messages or ancient languages associated with Zeus, the Greek god. This work, part of a limited edition of 75, reflects Tilson’s exploration of mythology, nature, and human interaction with the divine. Measuring 80.2 x 57.2 cm, the piece invites viewers to contemplate the symbolic resonance of natural forms and ancient beliefs.

What is activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
