"Under the Influence: The Comics and Contemporary Art" Exhibition
Lehman College Art Gallery
This event has ended.
Under the Influence: The Comics and Contemporary Art will examine the work of approximately 25 artists indebted to the style and energy of comics imagery. The comics connote humor with the term "funnies" suggesting a lighthearted sensibility and playfulness with irony and satire also a part of the territory. But the comics often explore a more complex side of human existence - for Freud humor was a path to the unconscious. The exhibition will feature a range of media. There will be an online catalogue.
