Beyond the Cel (The Influence of Animation on Contemporary Art) is an exhibition that explores the influences of animation on Contemporary art.
"Although cartoons have been an acceptable form of mainstream entertainment and advertising, the characters and graphic style of cartoons inspire “lowbrow” or pop surrealist artists working today. A cel, short for celluloid, is a transparent sheet of plastic (usually acetate) on which objects are drawn or painted for animation, allowing for several layers of composition. This exhibition promises to intrigue contemporary art lovers and first time museum visitors alike.
The exhibition features many popular, successful artists of the movement including Ron English, Gary Baseman, Sket-One, KRK Ryden, Anthony Ausgang,Andrew Brandou, The Brothers McLeod, Ryan Bubnis, Michelle Valigura and Amanda Visell."
