Dab Art is pleased to present EXCELSIOR! Appropriately titled after the late great Stan Lee. His personal catch phrase and a word used to indicate superior quality, EXCELSIOR! is an illustration based group show featuring 19 marvelous artists.
Paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography and comic based works are presented together in an unusual but visually intoxicating display of social commentary.
Confronted with the visceral realities of history, human and cultural tragedies in a world of turmoil, these distinct group of creatives are transformed into a cast of artistic antiheroes. Confronting subjects of immigration, intolerance, social media, political climate, love and loss; EXCELSIOR! is a humorous and cunning exhibition that leaves subtlety at the door.
