Kontrastprogramm. The Art of the Scraperboard
The exhibition “Kontrastprogramm” brings a dark art to light
 
 
Painting it Black at the Cartoonmuseum Basel!
The exhibition “Kontrastprogramm” brings a dark art to light: the scraperboard technique. The scraperboard is a piece of white board that is covered with a layer of black ink. Using a cutter to scratch and scrape, the artist then exposes the white beneath the black. The unusual white lines and hatching and the often large percentage of black in the resulting drawings turns our seeing habits upside down. The scraperboard technique is frequently chosen by artists seeking gloomy, expressive images for stories that revolve around the yawning abysses in human existence. Others use it for portraits, caricatures and illustrations that playfully exploit the drama and abundant contrasts provided by the scraperboard.
The Cartoonmuseum highlights the more than one hundred year history of the scratchboard technique with works that oscillate between classical caricature, topical comic and free art: from the woodcuts by models such as Gustave Dore and Frans Masereel, to works by the contemporary artists Hannes Binder (CH), Raphael Boccanfuso (FR), Brian Gallagher (IE), Matti Hagelberg (FI), Line Hoven (DE), Matthias Lehmann (FR), Thomas Ott (CH) and Mark Summers (USA).
 
Kontrastprogramm. Die Kunst des Schabkartons
Die Ausstellung «Kontrastprogramm» holt eine finstere Kunst ans Licht
 
 
Das Cartoonmuseum Basel sieht schwarz!
Die Ausstellung «Kontrastprogramm» holt eine finstere Kunst ans Licht: die Technik des Schabkartons. Beim Schabkarton entsteht eine Zeichnung, indem durch Kratzen und Schaben mit einem Cutter der weisse Karton unter einer schwarzen Deckschicht aus Tusche freigelegt wird. Die ungewohnten weissen Striche und Schraffuren und der meist hohe Schwarzanteil der Zeichnungen kehren unsere Sehgewohnheiten um. Schabkarton wird darum gerne von Künstlern und Künstlerinnen gewählt, die düstere, expressive Bilder suchen für Geschichten, die um menschliche Abgründe kreisen. Andere spielen bei Portraits, Karikaturen und Illustrationen mit der Dramatik und dem Reichtum an Kontrasten des Schabkartons.
Das Cartoonmuseum beleuchtet die über hundertjährige Geschichte des Schabkartons und zeigt Arbeiten zwischen klassischer Karikatur, aktuellem Comic und freier Kunst: von den Holzschnitten der Vorbilder wie Gustave Doré und Frans Masereel bis zu den Zeitgenossen Hannes Binder (CH), Raphaël Boccanfuso (FR), Brian Gallagher (IR), Matti Hagelberg (FI), Line Hoven (DE), Matthias Lehmann (FR), Thomas Ott (CH) und Mark Summers (USA).
