Adam and Eve | Ironic Retro Religious Collage Art on Riots, Police State & Social Unrest | By Joan Seed
from $600.00
A love letter from Joan
Darling —
Turns out the serpent wasn’t the only one with bad intentions. Adam and Eve is my retelling of Genesis — updated with riot gear, tight briefs, and a peace symbol that never stood a chance.
This isn’t your Sunday school garden — it’s more of a mid-century riot in Eden, where lust and law enforcement clash over the original sin: freedom. And Eve? Still blamed for everything, still stunning.
A little biblical trauma, a little 1960s pulp, and a lot of uncomfortable truths — just the way I like it.
Love, Joan

Description
Adam and Eve is a bold mixed media collage by Joan Seed, reimagining the biblical origin story through the lens of 1960s counterculture, state violence, and feminist critique. Part surrealist satire, part socio-political allegory, the piece collides eroticism, innocence, and authority into a vibrant visual metaphor. Ideal for collectors of provocative symbolic art, interior designers curating statement walls, and art dealers specializing in contemporary social commentary. Signed, limited edition archival giclée print. Available in two sizes.

*Adam and Eve* is a searing anti-religious metaphorical collage fusing 1960s retro futurism, Christian iconography, and images of political violence. Set in a lush Garden of Eden, this cinematic tableau critiques systemic oppression, gender blame, and cultural mythology. Ideal for symbolic art collectors, galleries, and designers seeking bold, provocative visual statements. Perfect for themes of social unrest, religious history, state violence, and visual resistance — this piece is both a conversation starter and a centerpiece.
