From Rusty Brown to Lint and Jimmy Corrigan, Chris Ware's is a picture book of unlimited, dense and absorbing possibilities. Ware constrains his work in a straitjacket made up of sophisticated pre-cinematographic iconographies that become even more powerful in the digital age. His exhibition at Galerie Martel performs a systematic critique of the fluidity with which images are slipping towards the digital. According to Ware's will, the hand disappears behind the vast work of storytelling via an oral, almost pre-graphic physicality.
