On Thursday 25.05.23, Toss Gallery welcomes "The bi-polar wolf pup", the nagging comic by Maria - Elisavet Kotini that unexpectedly breaks strip limits and takes the reader on a fun journey of surreal doom. Within the euphemistic simplicity of the lines, hide existential questions that break the fourth wall to remind us to laugh a little through our own gloom. After all, in life, as in this comic, not everything is black and white... there’s also a splash of pink!
We invite you to meet "The bi-polar wolf pup ", but also to draw your own "bi-polar wolf pup" and become a proud member of the bi-polar wolf herd! Then again, if you're not into painting, we'll also have board games!
Description:
Inside the dump, lies a bi-polar wolf-pup, thrashing and howling.
It tries to put life and the garbage around it in order, but it is impossible. Desperation has become second nature to it. Its only consolation and escape from the gloom, the small pieces of cheese it sometimes finds in the garbage. It sniffs them and travels through controversial visions, but at the very least it is briefly transported away from its black and white, blurry existence. Figures pass through the dump. Are they real or is it imagining them too? An Icarus of lost dreams, a tanner who won’t even take its fur and a nurse who forbids it from escaping in the name of "health"... But is it too late?
