Beeldverhaal over een zwarte Amerikaanse man en zijn op hol geslagen paard

This comic strip was made by Gordinne. The marks are fast, furious, and economical, with a colour palette that feels like it's been pulled straight from a box of old crayons. It’s all about the process, you know? Check out the way the artist used colour to flatten the figures against the page. The red of the wagon wheels really pops, drawing your eye through the narrative. There's a sense of everything collapsing, which gives the work a raw, honest feel. I think that the chaos of the composition is echoed in the subject matter, so it gives the piece a particular resonance. Gordinne's comic strip feels like an early cousin to the work of someone like Philip Guston, who embraced a similar kind of rough, expressive mark-making later on in his career. It’s a reminder that art is just one big conversation across time, and that ambiguity is a strength, not a weakness.
