VIVERRA FINE ART GALLERY EXHIBITIONS 2023 explores selected works on paper by illustrator Kyle Baker dating from 1986 to 2023, executed in a range of media, from pen and ink drawings to paintings in oil, acrylic, and gouache. While most of these artworks were created for print publication in newspapers, magazines, and comic books, this collection contains images painstakingly scanned from the original artworks, to ensure the finest possible reproduction. Many of these full-color paintings can finally be seen for the first time without the text that obscured portions in their original publications. Earlier black and white artwork dating back as far as 1986 was scanned in color so that corrections, blue pencils, and paste-overs that were not previously visible in the original printings allow you a look at the process behind the scenes. In 2020, when physical spaces were no longer available to display art, the Viverra Fine Art Gallery was hastily launched online as a 3d "space" simulating the gallery experience. Born of desperation, the first exhibition was successful enough to encourage us to fix the bugs, streamline the interface, and Put On More Shows. This is the first exhibition catalog published by Viverra Fine Art Editions, with many more planned for the future.
