ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
In 1999, Justin Duerr had an intense vision that revealed to him an extremely detailed, multi-character story. He’s spent his life since then building upon that manifestation, using marker and pen to draw intricate scenes, each a chapter of a larger narrative, on interconnected panels he refers to as “story scrolls.” This body of work currently consists of 28 scrolls that, when pieced together, span more than 100 feet in length.
In Justin Duerr: Surrender to Survival, on view beginning Thursday, June 27, selections from the story scrolls and other drawings invite visitors to dive deeper into Duerr’s artistry and imaginative, visual storytelling.
