From their website:
Graphique Noir celebrates a hugely popular aesthetic found in a plethora of today's media. This somewhat "dark" art-form encompasses a surprising complexity of genres including that of the Graphic Novel, PC/Video Gaming, Manga, Steampunk, Post Apocalyptic, Gothic, Anime, and countless derivatives and combinations of all of the above.
Often, many consider this art "fringe or outsider"... yet through popular osmosis it has become an influential phenomenon, infusing popular culture through Film, Television, Fashion, Product Design, Advertising, and Music. While Science Fiction is commonly in the forefront of this imagery, the undercurrents of society are often explored through fascinating, sometimes squeamishly eccentric, aberrant and deliciously delirious avenues.
Graphique Noir as an exhibition will embrace and explore works of art in virtually any imaginable media including paintings, digitally generated imagery, textiles, sculptural works, animation, video/films, performance, music, dance. And the list goes on and on!
I'm pleased to announce that you can actually view a walkthrough of the show (keep an eye out for my piece!) View the virtual walkthrough here!
