“Sequential Art: The Universal Language”

Graphic Novel Art and Illustration House, a gallery in New York City, are pleased to present:

“Sequential Art: The Universal Language”

A special exhibition and sale of Flemish Cartoon and Comic art, which will run from July 16 to August 20, 2008.

The exhibition will present over 100 paintings, illustrations, comic strips and book art by the five selected artists debuting in the United States: Jan Bosschaert, “NIX”, Ilah, Judith Van Istendael, and Olivier Schrauwen.

Belgium is the historic cradle of European comics, and it still generates talented artists. The show provides an introduction to the wide variety of contemporary Flemish illustration and comic culture.

The current selection of artists, who have all been published overseas, range from paintings by Jan Bosschaert to the highly sarcastic comic strips of “NIX”. Ilah's character Cordelia would blend in nicely with the women of “Sex and the City”. Van Istendael's psychological narratives blend the illustration and comic book genres, and Schrauwen's work for “My Boy” shows that Europeans also find inspiration in American classics like Winsor McCay, but with their own peculiar viewpoint.

The opening will be held on Wednesday July 16, 2008 at Illustration House from 4:00 - 8:00 pm, and the artists will be present. Illustration House is located at 110 West 25 Street in the Chelsea district of Manhattan.

Paroles de Verdun - George and Barron conquer Europe !!!

One of the key objectives of Graphic Novel Art is to introduce American Graphic Novel Artists to the European public.

A couple of months ago I got into contact with Jean Wacquet from the European editing house Soleil (visit their site on http://www.soleilprod.com/index.php they are one of the -if not the - leading comic distributors of high quality comic books in Europe. Top series are Skydoll and Lanfeust a must for those willing to discover the top of modern European comics)

He was looking for US artists to contibute to the second volume of his series about the first Word War after a very successful first part "Paroles de Poulus". The book consists of several short stories based on letters written by soldiers during WWI.

I got Jean into contact with Barron Storey and George Pratt and now only a couple of months later the result is there. Next to some top European comic artists we have two top US artists contributing to this book, making this a truly international project.

You have no idea how happy I am that I was able to bring these people together

Let me know if you'd like a copy of the book and I'll find out how to get one to you
