Beyond Words Exhibition: Athens Ohio !!!

Beyond Words: The art of the Graphic Novel

Where litterature and visual arts meet

The Dairy Barn, Athens Ohio - May 25th till September 2

I had the honor to put together an original art show reflecting on Graphic Novel Art at Athens Ohio.

It has been a superb experience using about 70 pieces of my private collection to give people insight in the wonderful world of original art collecting. A bit of history with McCay, Eisner till Burns and Ware. Some examples of different techniques and the difference between European and US graphic Novel trends.

The show is also completed by 4 smaller exhibits by David Mack, Barron Storey, Judith Vanistendael and Carol Tyler

Please go and watch this summer !!!

Amano Yoshitaka: Dreams and Portraits

This a Dream come true !!!

Getting the top illustrator and modern art artist Yoshitaka Amano to Belgium is just too good to be true.

But we did it

Together with Petits Papiers and La Maison Autrique we will host an Exhibition "Dreams and Portraits" curated by François Schuiten at the Maison Autrique http://www.autrique.be/

Opening as of thursday september 16th at 18:30

We'll also have almost 40 original watercolor paintings available for sale at PP http://www.petitspapiers.be/ , which is pretty unique as Amano seldomly sells his original illustrations.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information

Tarot: An artists' vision of the future

What happens when you ask an artist to predict his own future when presented with a Tarot card ? That's the question I've asked to 10 of the most talented comic and illustration artists of these times.

Sam Kieth, David Mack, Ashley Wood, Barron Storey, Jeff Faerber, Tin, Mike Dringenberg, Miran Kim, John Watkiss and Joshua Hagler all participated in this project

The result is a myriad of styles and themes, full with personal associations, interpretations, frustrations, creatuvity... but all generating superb and colorfull art.

Opening on Thursday 27th of May; 18.00 at www.petitspapiers.be

Not for the faint of heart as we will be burning original comic art at the request of one of the artists. We'll also have someone draw Tarot cards in order to predict the future of this exhibition.
