St. John’s University’s Art Gallery Displays Work of Six Nationally Recognized Graphic Artists

January 03, 2007

Queens, N.Y. -

St. John's University presents "Seriatim", an exhibition of sequential work done by six nationally recognized graphic artists, January 4-February 10 at the
Dr. Geoffrey Yeh Art Gallery in Sun Yat Sen Hall on the Queens campus.

With images drawn from the comic page, the print studio, and Hollywood cinema, the show exhibits a wide range of narrative sequential art that is as intimate as the studio print. From imagery created for graphic novels and ranging to mass culture with storyboards culled from today's film industry, the seriatim exhibit touches on a broad range of expressive styles by leaders in these fields.

Featured in this exhibit is Brick Mason, storyboard artist for over 60 films including A Beautiful Mind and The Sixth Sense. Graphic novelist David Klein will show work from his recently completed novel about the Golem, and Peter Kuper will exhibit a cross-section of his graphic works spanning multiple projects. Kuper is a gold medal winner in the sequential art from the Society of Illustrators and illustrates the popular Spy vs. Spy for Mad Magazine.

From the world of strip comics is Martin Kozlowski, whose art has parodied figures great and small for the Earth Times and Fortune Magazine. From the printmaking studio, personal sequential etchings by William Ronalds will also be featured. Ronalds is a retired professor from St. John's University whose prints have been exhibited internationally.

The Seriatim exhibit is also proud to include illustrator David Gothard's "Skells" and other sculptural works. Gothard is an award winning illustrator featured on many of today's national editorial pages.
