That's All Folks

Cartoons have always existed in the space between the visceral and the impossible, where humor, exaggeration, and emotional intensity collide. The artists in That’s All Folks use this elastic visual vocabulary to probe questions of collective nostalgia, subversion, and cultural mythology. Their works draw from the heightened expressiveness of animation, flattened perspectives, punchline timing, and candy-coated palettes, while infusing them with personal narratives and contemporary critique.

Several artists repurpose familiar materials such as textiles, found fabrics, and stitched forms, asserting that the tactile world of cloth and fiber can be just as intense and expressive as inked cels or digital frames. Across paintings, sewn constructions, and mixed-media compositions, the exhibition foregrounds how texture, color, and pattern can animate an artwork with the same immediacy as a character mid-gesture.

Throughout the exhibition, the cartoon becomes a site where humor and darkness coexist, an arena for bending reality, exaggerating emotion, or revealing the cultural scripts embedded in childhood media. That’s All Folks ultimately positions animation not as escapism, but as a lens through which to understand how images shape us: our aspirations, our anxieties, and the stories we carry forward.
