Christopher Rabb at Mokah Art Gallery
Christopher Rabb’s paintings represent slices of selected comic book compositions in their bare visual elements exposing the raw expressive power of the climax. Rabb’s source is comic books for their inherent expressive visual language. Comics are seemingly simple because they are comprised of three major elements: the image, text, and sequence. Rabb removes the characters and text, leaving activated space, visual movement, and visual time gaps between planes.

Soft at Heart at The Magnolia
