Artist

Lin Evola

As an American contemporary artist, Lin Evola has created
a sustainable approach to weapons reduction by removing illicit
weapons and transforming them into inspirational Peace Angels.
Evola has assembled a remarkable team of highly-skilled, ground-
breaking professionals who are poised to produce the Peace Angels.
Using the “swords to ploughshares” paradigm, Evola receives weapons
from communities through authentic law enforcement channels. At the
same time, she engages the public through the media, transmitting a
call-to-action to “cause peace” in our time.

“In examining the history of art, Evola’s Peace Angel sculptures can be discussed in the context of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Joseph Beuys and Robert Rauschenberg.” Julia Ernst, Founding Curator, the Saatchi Collection

“The authenticity of Lin Evola’s art delivers us, gratefully, beyond the soul killing loop of postmodern irony and into the spiritual awakening of a new Renaissance where the artist stands on the sacred ground of myth.”
L.P. Streitfeld, Art Critic

“In 2007 when I first saw a Peace Angel in New York, I was immediately attracted to the sculpture’s formal qualities in its expressive figurativism. I vividly recall having thought to myself that here was an artist who had struck upon a completely original concept, and whose works could have a significant cultural impact if only more broadly promoted. Indeed, here was art that could strike a chord in every person on earth.”
