The collaboration on display from March 11 through April 10 will feature the artwork of Kalamazoo graphic designer and novelist Paul Sizer.
The gallery is inside of the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave.
The powerful and playful collection of artwork includes both posters and prints.
Drawing styles and typographic design were re-purposed to create a hybrid style that examines different ways to look at elements of the historic propaganda style poster and new directions for traditional pin-up art, making them both more diverse and positive in their transmission of their message, according to a press release.
Sizer’s artwork also includes a variety of cultural and gender diversities in his imagery, re-purposing the often clichéd roles of victim into hero and heroine.
Sizer runs a freelance design business and self-publishes graphic novels.
Some of his graphic novels include “Little White Mouse,” “Moped Army,” “B.P.M.,” “Mixtape: 1984” and the upcoming “Daughters of the Octopus.”
