Laurent Impeduglia
Posted by Fabio 13 April 2011
The Belgian artist, who was trained at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Liège, belonged to the Mycose Comix-Factory collective. He was already attracting interest internationally because of his fanzines before his first exhibition. Impeduglia is fascinated by socially constitutive cults, mythologizing and heroisation. Full of mischief, Impeduglia draws an absurd picture of a meaningless society.

Misaki kawai
Posted by Fabio 12 April 2011
The Japanese artist Misaki Kawai is inspired by traveling through foreign countries and by foreign cultures. She traveled to China, Tibet, Nepal, India and Thailand. Kawai’s pictures quote popular culture, the urban, consumer-oriented everyday culture, as well as nature, primal cultures and customs. She is able to bind her fragmented oeuvre together with an infallible feeling for color, material, cuteness and quirky humor.

Joost Swarte
Posted by Fabio 15 February 2011
Placing human behaviour in an ironic perspective – that is what Joost Swarte aims for with his drawings. Swarte was part of the seminal seventies generation that brought comics to an adult audience. In 1976 he coined the term Klare Lijn to describe the style that connected the artists who inspired Tintin creator, Hergé – as well as those who were influenced by the master himself.
