FEAR(S) OF THE DARK is a wildly inventive and visually dazzling collection of fearful tales by six of the world’s most renowned comic and graphic artists – Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, and Richard McGuire. From a besotted student whose girlfriend is weirdly ardent in her affections, to a Japanese schoolgirl menaced by a long-dead samurai, and a pack of hounds on a bloodthirsty rampage, FEAR(S) has a story strand to trouble every sleep – not to mention a stunning range of animation styles. Shot in shimmering black and white, the six intertwined tales create an unprecedented epic where phobias and nightmares come to life and reveal Fear at its most naked and intense.
“I fear any kind of explanation or attempt to come close to understanding the work of New York based, Swiss artist Olaf Breuning will completely miss the mark. His work is a little bit of installation, photography, collage, debauchery, occult, tribal, sculptural, piss take, film, it literally goes everywhere…. if anything is consistent, it’s that it’s completely unpredictable, bizarre and more often than not hilarious.” in Lifelounge
