MASTERS OF THE FANTASTIC
New York, NY – 5 Original Michael Whelan paintings are on display at the Society of Illustrators as part of the new exhibition “Masters of the Fantastic.”
Stories of fantasy and science fiction dominate today’s cultural mainstream, and illustration plays a central role in the appeal and popular acceptance of the fantasy narrative.
This show features the innovators who have given shape and substance to the world’s most imaginative kinds of storytelling, and the more than 100 works on display encompass a full range of otherworldly images—from dragons, specters and demons, to the far reaches of deep space.
