![]() M.S. Bastian/Isabelle L. (Biel) The world between Art & Comics 08_“Pia-Anna” gallery |

It’s pure elegance the way M.S. Bastian moves between pop culture and art. He proves again and again that there is only an artificial line between the two. In his latest work together with Isabelle L. he demonstrates with wit and humour just how entertaining (but at the same time deep) elements from the art & comic worlds can be combined.
