About

The name Comic Abstraction derives from an exhibition of the same name held at MoMA in 2007. It was an exhibition of artists who experimented with comic expressions and attempted to release comics from their symbolic pop-art context.
Four years after this, a group of European artists began using the term as their genre because it remained the
