Description
Midam - The Snow Must Go On at Huberty & Breyne in Paris, France, celebrates the work of Belgian comic artist Midam through his long-running series Game Over. The exhibition marks the release of the twenty-fifth volume, focusing on the silent, slapstick adventures of the Little Barbarian.
The gallery displays original plates that highlight Midam’s ability to convey dark, absurd humor using only visual language. Influenced by silent film stars like Buster Keaton and classic cartoons like the Pink Panther, these works strip away dialogue to focus on composition and pacing.
Visitors will also find recent illustrations of the "Blorks"—the series' signature monsters—including pieces that subvert Japanese pop culture themes. The selection highlights the evolution of these characters from a comic book offshoot to a central element of Midam's creative output.
Worth travelling for?
A lighthearted but technically impressive stop for fans of graphic storytelling and the art of silent comedy.
