"Wow! Pow! Bam! Comics and Painting, A Meeting at the End of the 20th Century", opening on Thursday, June 6, from 18.00-21.00.
Based on a concept by visual and comics artist Spyros Verykios and co-curated with art
historian Thanasis Moutsopoulos, the exhibition aims to demonstrate the ways in which contemporary artists draw inspiration from the visual and narrative conventions of comic strips, transcending the boundaries between traditional art practices and juxtapositions such as that between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art.
The exhibition focuses on two parallel developments in art in the late twentieth century, which defined new aesthetic approaches and expanded the boundaries of art as well as narration, opening up new prospects for the evolution of contemporary art. On the one hand, visual artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Philip Guston, and Andy Warhol incorporated elements
from pop culture into their work; on the other, comic artists such as Art Spiegelman adopted concepts and techniques of contemporary art, contributing to the emergence of new genres
in art.
