nar路ra路tive: The Practice or Art of Telling Stories
Philippe Labaune Gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition 鈥渘ar路ra路tive鈥�, an exhibition of illustrations and strips created by twelve artists from Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Showcasing works of artists from different cultures, backgrounds, and training, 鈥渘ar路ra路tive鈥� will offer a swift yet intricate look into the world of comic art and illustration. In either color or black and white, the art presented on the gallery walls will demonstrate the undertaking involved in creating a visual expression that stems from words on a page or simple ideas, while keeping the various stories鈥� nuances and secrets intact for the reader. With this exhibit, we hope to reveal the artists鈥� extraordinary ability to pair one鈥檚 words or thoughts with drawings in a seamless and intricate way.
On display will be several recent works highlighting the recurring theme of our gallery: storytelling through images.
From the architectural and dystopian sci-fi world imagined by French artist, Mathieu Bablet, who using his futuristic ingenuity transports us in a universe without any logical boundaries filled with not only complex landscapes and architecture which allows the reader to dive into his world, but also great characters, emotions, and tension that leap out of the page and bring the story forward, to Ian Bertram鈥檚 fantastic world whose three large drawings will put in full display the extent of his craftmanship by showcasing his precise mark making which brings texture and makes time visible to the human eye and a dark futuristic vison so distinctive of the young artist whose style cannot be fully articulated into words.
Using simple China ink and pastels, Italian artist Liberatore demonstrates, through an homage to superheroes, that narrative art has no real boundaries, and that all the strengths of a classically trained and established artist are just tools for him to use, while remaining playful, ironic, and spirited. In the same line, renowned American artist, Paul Pope, whose graphic novel 鈥淏attling Boy鈥� debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list, will demonstrate through one simple black and white illustration, the full power of narrative art.
