Curated by Xinyi Liu and Rebekah Church
Emotion offers a fresh take on sequential art, with work by rising illustrators and recent graduates and current students from regional fine art programs including Central CT State University, Lyme Art Academy, RISD, School of the Art Institute, School of Visual Arts, and Yale, curated by Summer Fellows Rebekah Church and Xin Yi Liu. The work encompasses illustration, comics, moving image, video, and sculpture.
There will be free lunchtime tours on Wednesdays at 12:30pm starting September 13.
eMOTION was made possible thanks to the Connecticut Office of the Arts- Arts Workforce Initiative and the Yale President Public Service Fellowship.
Curator Statement: This gallery showcases the signature possibilities of sequential arts, encompassing the progression from still images to moving images, evolving from single frames to multiple frames. We aim to provide a platform for young and promising artists who are seeking opportunities to exhibit their artworks, including illustration, comic books, manga, graphic novels, and animation. Artists can engage with potential buyers, selling their original and printed artworks, as well as copies of their publications/zines. Moreover, they can gain valuable experience and expand their professional network in a gallery setting, which is essential for their artistic career.
Through this exhibition, we strive to open new doors of opportunity for sequential artists while expanding the audience reach of the Ely Center. Visitors can appreciate the gradual transition from static images to dynamic videos and animations, experiencing the integration of motion and interactive elements in artworks.
