André Franquin exposition

The Belgium comic artist Andre Franquin was best known for his work in Spirou magazine and his creation of 'Gaston la gaffe'. In Galerie Lambiek a variety of works was shown including sketches from 'Spirou and Fantasio', 'Gaston' and his latest creation 'Les Tifous', three merry colored creatures from an animation series which was broadcast on French television.

Besides his traditional comic work Franquin also exhibited a collection of abstract black and white drawings. These spontanuous sketches or droodles were blown up photographically.

The accent of this exhibition was on Franquin's production of the last ten years, this black period in which he made a lot of subconscious sketches for his own fun was in a way very fruitful for him too.

All proceeds from the exposition sales were donated to Unicef.
