Matthew Thurber's Art Comic is a blunt and hilarious assault on the swirling hot mess that is the art world. From sycophantic fans to duplicitous gallerists, fatuous patrons to self-aggrandizing art stars, he lampoons each and every facet of the eminently ridiculous industry of truth and beauty. Art Comic is brimming with references and cameos, outsized personalities and shuddering nonsense - Robert Rauschenberg smashes a beer bottle, Francesca Woodman, a wine glass. Amidst it all, Thurber's twisting drawings and laugh-out-loud dialogue convey a complicated picture of an industry at the intersection of fantasy and reality.
Delve into the never-before-seen artwork behind Akaneiro-the reimagining of Red Riding Hood as a monster hunter in mythological Japan. Join the creators as they explore, in their own words, the art and inspiration that culminated in one of the most evocative video game experiences of this generation. A must-have for fans of video games, mythology, and imaginative art!
