This art exhibition features today’s leading and best graphic artists of the illustration world. Graphic novels have gained immense popularity in recent years to a diverse, expanded audience. According to the American Library Association, they are among the fastest growing categories in publishing and bookselling. The cave paintings of ages past and hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt were the first examples of storytelling through pictures. Over the years the graphic novel has emerged as a financially successful medium combining storytelling and fine art and evolved into the popular DC Comic heroes we recognize today: Superman, Batman, and Marvel Comic’s Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and X-Men.
“Tidal Shift” features current work by the talented Corpus Christi artists who are the dedicated faculty of the TAMU-CC Department of Art and Design. This exhibition also highlights the variety and skill of successful artists and scholars at the forefront of their fields recruited from throughout North America by TAMU-CC. Creative research activities for these energetic individuals begins in their studios and extends to museums and galleries across the globe. In the fourth incarnation of this exhibition series, “Tidal Shift” emphasizes the caliber of art expertise located here in south Texas. Contributing Artists include: Meg Aubrey, Dr. Amanda Garcia, Jennifer Garza-Cuen, Rich Gere, Jack Gron, Louis Katz, Kevin Mercer, Nancy Miller, Ryan O’Malley, Joe Pena, Dr. Laura Petican, and Greg Reuter.
