Art Hazelwood is a painter and printmaker living in San Francisco. He has had one person exhibitions in Japan, Austria, Germany and the United States. His prints have appeared in literary journals, art publications and book- trade magazines. In addition, he is a regular contributor to the Street Sheet, a newspaper bringing attention to the struggles of homeless people. Also, two books of his woodcuts have been published, Promenade - A Voyeur's Guide to America and Forest Song. The magazine Small Press called Promenade "a strangely moving, intensely graphic view of the promenade of daily life in our country."
Hazelwood completed a large public art commission, an outdoor mural, in 2000 in Vallejo California. It is 110 feet long and 6 feet tall. The mural represents the arts and modern muses. It is located at the Vallejo Community Arts Foundation. His most recent print projects were shown at the Collectors Gallery at the Oakland Museum of California. They are a series of sixty woodcut prints of travels in Asia called, Walking Up and Down in Asia, and a fifteen foot long mixed etching and linocut print accordion page book based on Francois Rabelais, titled Gargantua in the Vineyard. In 2002 he began a series of prints inspired by both Euripides play, The Bacchae, and the war on terrorism. |
