Bringing together the very best of his short works produced over the last five years for Decadence Comics, the influential publishing collective he co-founded with the artist Lando.
Combining Cronenbergian metamorphosis, Lovecraftian fungi and radical politics, Tsemberlidis's silent world is one of transformative mysticism and violent revolution. His frenetic, staccato pen line beautifully describes a destructive present unfolding amid the ruins of the past.
Stathis Tsemberlidis is a Copenhagen-based Greek artist, working with comics and film. He studied fine arts in Athens and received a master's degree in animation from Kingston University in London. Tsemberlidis has been self-publishing comics and illustrations since the early 2000s under the label Decadence Press, co-funded with cartoonist Lando. In his recent work he has investigated various aspects of live performance in relation to film making and live broadcasting.
Absolutely. Anti-narrative, impenetrable, without an ounce of exposition or text. A miracle for comics that show that images can tell a captivating story on their own. Scifi at its most goopy, its weirdest, and its best. Tsemberlidis is a madman.
Se me hace difícil calificar este cómic con una propuesta gráfica arriesgada (esos dibujos que parecen deshacerse) con una historia sin textos que tiene su toque surrealista y post apocalíptico. Interesante.
