Comics bear the hallmarks of a universal language and exist in many cultures as a catchy way of telling stories graphically, in words and pictures. Comic characters run through the exhibition as a leitmotif and can be found in the work of a current generation of artists, such as Katherine Bernhardt&#8217;s Pink Panther paintings, the ceramic figures by Venezuelan artist Magdalena Suarez Frimkess, and the paintings by Isolde Maria Joham, inspired by Asian manga culture: Artists not only draw on the world of comics as a reference, they also examine specific characters and their psychological dispositions in their depictions, in the illustration of their physiognomy, in gestures and movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists:<br>KAWS und Jean Michel Basquiat, Katherine Bernhardt, Cosima von Bonin, Eliza Douglas, \u00d6yvind Fahlstr\u00f6m, Magdalena Suarez Frimkess, Futura 2000, Red Grooms, Blalla W.
