The Gatekeeper Posters of CHTHONIC
Exile and Defend Vinyl
These two posters, each measuring approximately 1.5 by 0.6 meters, are inspired by the album "Exile and Defend" by CHTHONIC, a heavy metal band from Taiwan. Their music draws heavily on local traditional religions and legends. The concept for these posters comes from the Taoist temples in Taiwan, where artists paint patron saints on red temple doors to bless and protect.
I reinterpreted this tradition to capture the spirit of the album's music, depicting the band's leader and lead singer as the patron saints of their music, while referencing the style of local temple art.
