Manuele Fior Exhibition at Fondazione Raffaele Cominelli in Cisano

A new exhibition at Fondazione Raffaele Cominelli in Cisano, near Brescia, showcases the work of Manuele Fior (born 1975 in Cesena), a celebrated Italian comic artist and illustrator known for his collaborations with Le Monde, The New Yorker, and Rolling Stone. Curated by Marco Galli, a local comic artist, the show features original plates and sketches from three of Fior's most representative books: Cinquemila chilometri al secondo (2011), L'Intervista, and Celestia (published in two volumes in 2019 and 2020). The exhibition, organized in collaboration with Accademia di Belle Arti di Santa Giulia, runs until August 28. Galli emphasizes the focus on drawing as a pure, unmediated artistic expression, contrasting it with artificial intelligence and immersive experiences. Preparatory studies for Fior's upcoming comic, currently at his French publisher, are also on display.
