"In a post-apocalyptic world, the search for precious gasoline pits a family of orphaned witches against conniving nihilists who lurk in the decaying urban sprawl…"
In the fall of 2008, Merrell Publishing released the graphic novel “Gasoline,” by Dame Darcy - fine artist, musician, performer and creator of the well-loved, long-running comic “Meat Cake.” Civilian Art Projects is pleased to host an exhibition featuring selected original works from “Gasoline” courtesy of Sloan Fine Art in New York. Signed copies of “Gasoline” will be available at Civilian Art Projects throughout the exhibition.
With the book’s emotional story and Dame Darcy’s intricate, romantic style, the original works from “Gasoline” stand alone as compelling individual pieces. Installed in succession in the gallery, they create a powerful visual narrative of “danger, heartbreak and the perseverance of magic and love.”
Dame Darcy’s previous graphic novel projects include “Frightful Fairytales” (Ten Speed Press) and “The Illustrated Jane Eyre” (Putnam Penguin USA). She is also included in the upcoming “Comic Book Tattoo,” a comic compilation illustrating the songs of Tori Amos (Image comics 2008).
Darcy’s paintings and works on paper have been exhibited at Richard Heller Gallery in Los Angeles, The Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, CWC in Tokyo and with Gelatin in Austria.
