Fumito Wada

Sprechblase(n)

With his exhibition Sprechblase(n) / "Speech Bubble(s)" Fumito Wada probes the narrative movements from Manga comic stories.

He mostly explore graphic elements, that in comics create the mood, tempo, and narrative threads: speech bubbles, comic panels, action effects.

We do not see any concrete figures or images -- instead Fumito Wada fills his paintings with the precise reprieves between the possibilites of narrative content.

Fumito Wada brings the transfer between different comic panels into view and thereby creates an artistic transfer: atmosphere and connotation are rendered expressively and abstractly as completely new images.
