Welcome to our first ever online exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Comics are a one-of-a-kind art medium, long underestimated and undervalued. Despite the rich history of the comic arts, the cultural importance of this artform has only recently been broadly acknowledged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But regardless of this long-standing prejudice, it is also clear that comics\u00a0 have had a considerable impact and influence over the other arts: architecture, sculpture, visual arts, music, literature, performing arts, film, media arts and video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linked since the beginning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is constant back and forth between these various artistic mediums, most obviously and frequently as works in one form are adapted into another: A popular novel might be transformed into a film, a comic book, or a play. But a sculptor might bring a childhood love of comic books into their writing, or vice-versa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As creators dabble in a wider range of artistic forms, the boundaries between these mediums become blurry, and the public in turn learns to appreciate cultural works in a broader range of artistic practices. By embracing a diversity of artistic traditions and knowledge, the audience\u2019s experience is further enhanced, and the connoisseur can soon appreciate and understand the wide-ranging references, tributes, inspirations and codes which artists bring to their works, whatever the medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
