​

Graphic novelists Chris Bones, Justin Randall, Shaun Tan, Chris Wahl, Mel Tregonning, Skye Ogden, Anton McKay, Chris Bolton and Mark Welsh

 

10 April to 18 May 2008

​

Gestalt: art of the graphic novel is an exhibition of sequential illustrations (and the creative process behind them) by some of Australia's finest emerging graphic novelists.

​

Audiences of all ages will be able to get an in-depth view of how graphic novels are created at a new exhibition at Heathcote Museum and Gallery, from 10 April to 18 May 2008. Curator Soula Veyradier said the exhibition reflected on how comics, as an art form, had made a striking impact on contemporary visual culture. Through the inclusion of scripts, thumbnails and other materials alongside finished pages, viewers will be able to gain a unique perspective into the creative development of one of the most innovative and influential art forms of modern times, she said.

​

Artwork from Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday (the graphic novel sequel to cult film REPO MAN), will be included in the exhibition - glorious, large-scale full colour illustrations by Chris Bones & Justin Randall, with limited edition prints available to purchase.
