Gary Panter
An animator, illustrator, painter, designer, and part-time musician, Gary Panter has always kept an eye out for a cataclysmic event. Panter’s distinctive “ratty line” ink drawings are recognizable to fans of RAW magazine. His recently completed graphic novel, Jimbo in Purgatory, is Panter’s reinterpretation of Dante’s Purgatorio.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
