Andrea Scrima’s drawing series Loopy Loonies explores the violence imbedded in the comic and cartoon imagery endemic to contemporary visual cultures.
In the context of present-day political disasters in the US, Europe, and the Middle East, the drawings develop a visual vocabulary of splats, speech bubbles, and animated letters of the alphabet to inquire into ideas about dissent, the abuse of language, and the nature of pain, compassion, and disgust.
