Mirada Association Danijel Zezelj 13 October– 29 October 2006 The exhibition of original works by Zezelj will present a selection of original artworks taken from Stray Dogs, edited by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum of Boston, and curated by Pieranna Cavalchini. The dreamy style, taut between the decadent futurism of post industrial settings, and focussing of minimal stories often centred on the alienation arising from migration to a new country, make this a work bordering between a reality comic and an art book. On the other hand Zezelj has accustomed us to his moving between more classical narratives and poetic research in the pictorial sequence. The author will also give a seminar at the Mirada Art Gallery (entry by booking) on the occasion of his stay in Ravenna. Text in the catalogue of Sergio Nazzaro. Catalogue edited by Fernandel Editore, Ravenna. Danijel Zezelj is a graphic artist, illustrator and author of more than twenty graphic novels. Of Croatian origin, he now lives in the USA but previously lived in our country for a number of years. Arriving in 1992 at the time of the start of the war in his country of origin, in Italy he published important novels in comic form and short stories, quickly becoming a point of reference for the demanding public. His graphic style, highly expressive and influenced by his declared love for Muñoz, fascinated even Federico Fellini, who wrote the introduction to the graphic novel the rhythm of the heart, published by Edizioni del Grifo. His comics and illustrations have appeared in a number magazines and anthologies in Europe and the United States. His work has been published by DC Comics/Vertigo, Marvel Comics, The New York Times Book Review, Harper's Magazine, The San Francisco Guardian, Washington Chronicle, etc. www.dzezelj.com 13 October 10 am workshop meeting with the author at the Mirada Art Gallery.
