July 7 – July 29, 2022Opening Reception: Saturday, July 9, 3:00 – 6:00
440 Gallery presents their 2022 Summer Theme Exhibition, Sequential Synergy: The Art of Comics, featuring thirty artists selected from a national call-for-art. This show of thirty-four multi-media works is a collection of contemporary comic book art celebrating the diverse ways comic artists and cartoonists utilize the real estate of the blank page. For over a century, artists have been creating comics to tell stories about caped crusaders, historical figures, themselves or something else entirely.
Sequential Synergy: The Art of Comics explores the forms that comics can take and how they affect us. Cartoonists are not merely visual artists, but also writers, designers, directors, and most of all, acute observers of human behavior. Curators Dean Haspiel and Whitney Matheson have curated the show as a means of broadening the thematic content and visual art forms traditionally exhibited in a gallery environment.
