Add to basketNeuware - Die biblische Apokalypse hat als Erzählung vom Weltende seit Jahrhunderten die Fantasie von Malern und Zeichnern angeregt. Das figurativ-expressive Monumentalwerk Bastokalypse von M.S. Bastian (\*1963) und Isabelle L. (\*1967) reiht sich in diese Tradition ein. Das Künstlerpaar, das sich an der Grafik-Fachklasse der Schule für Gestaltung Biel kennenlernte und seit 2004 zusammenarbeitet, hat mit 32 schwarzweissen Gemälden auf Leinwand einen Bildstreifen von 51,2 Metern Länge und 1 Meter Höhe geschaffen: die Druckvorlage für dieses ungewöhnliche Leporello. Die Bastokalypse - ein Wortspiel aus Apokalypse und Bastian - ist ein Bilderfries des Entsetzens und voller Anspielungen: Jahrtausendealte Mythologien und Schreckensbilder der Moderne wie Picassos Guernica oder die Maus-Zeichnungen von Art Spiegelman sind ebenso zu finden wie Szenen des Grauens aus Graphic Novels, Trivialkunst und Massenmedien. Der Kunstkritiker Konrad Tobler zeigt in seinem mit apokalyptischen Darstellungen illustrierten Essay die vielfältigen Beziehungen zur Kunstgeschichte auf. Das Buch erschien zu den Ausstellungen am fumetto Comic-Festival 2010 und im Museum Goch. Ausgezeichnet mit dem PrintStar, Innovationspreis der deutschen Druckindustrie 2010.

This stunning volume represents the culmination of a decade-long collaboration between two Swiss graphic artists, M. S. Bastian and Isabelle L. Bastokalypse reproduces the thirty-two large black-and-white canvases of their monumental graphic sequence of the same name; together the panels tell a story of apocalypse and the end of the world that amalgamates images inspired by a wide range of eras and art examples, including medieval Tuscan mosaics, renaissance panels, baroque engravings, Meiji-era Japanese prints, and contemporary graphic novels. The resulting work is alternately terrifying and amusing, reflecting the horrors and surprises of the world as it they reach us day by day through the media.
The thirty-two parts of this 168-foot long painting are gathered in an oversized sixty-four-plate concertina folder with an essay on apocalyptic motifs by art critic Konrad Tobler printed on the verso. The result is as much an art object as it is a book, as unusual and thrilling in its own way as the images it contains.
M. S. Bastian has worked in New York, Paris, and other cities; he currently lives and works in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Isabelle L. has worked as a publicist and lives in Biel/Bienne.
