Lin Evola

Lin Evola was born an artist. Schooled in painting and drawing, Evola’s most recent work, The Peace Angels Project, is a fusion of conceptual art, high technology and sculpture. As a comprehensive body of work, Peace Angels Project addresses the human propensity for violence, life and death, and specifically the issue of weapons. The artist destroys weapons of mass destruction (literally melting down nuclear stainless steel and titanium, street weapons such as guns, land mines and other contemporary weaponry) and transforms them into powerful symbols of peace and possibility. Her monumental sculptures provide a new platform from which humanity can move forward. Hand in hand with her work is the artist’s USA Weapons Destruction Campaign. It is requesting 1 million weapons each from three United States cities, which the artist will melt down and use to build monuments to peace. Currently, she’s rolling out the media campaign, which will make formal requests for the weapons. Lin Evola is a contemporary artist that splits her time between San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles.
