The Gallery of Contemporary Art celebrates our 20th Anniversary with a unique exhibition of comic art that is "off the beaten track." The changes in perception regarding comic art, which can range from the French "bande dessinées" to Japanese mangas to graphic novels, is most vividly indicated by the venerable Louvre’s commission of works from young, well-known comic artists this year.
However, the majority of comic art is self-published and seldom has wide circulation, although these works ingeniously illuminate aspects of contemporary society. They are created using a wide range of media, but drawing seems to predominate.
Drawings are the most immediate, intimate form of art making; a direct line, so to speak, from the idea to an artist’s hand to the paper. It is as old and as elemental as the impulse of the first people who made marks on cave walls.
