Opening Reception: Sat. May 24, 12-4
THIS Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Marc Bell, Total Residuum. For this solo exhibition, Bell has created over twenty new works that vary in medium and dimensions, from several tiny 4 x 3” mixed media collages to a large, detailed 30 x 40” ink and watercolour drawing. These works contain a fully formed visual world of abstracted characters, landscapes, and wordplay that imply narrative as quickly as they distract from it.
To create this exhibition, Bell worked with many small scraps of paper and loose drawings from his collections and distilled them into compositions, adding to and negating from these fragments in a process he likes to call “The War With Paper”.
Marc Bell is the author of Raw Sewage Science Fiction, Worn Tuff Elbow, Stroppy, Hot Potatoe [sic], Pure Pajamas, Shrimpy and Paul and Friends. He has also been active in self-publishing and the small press for decades, producing countless other limited edition booklets. His comics have appeared in Kramers Ergot, The Ganzfeld, New York Times Magazine, The LA Weekly and many Canadian monthlies and weeklies.
