A Bestiary by Andy Leuenberger
A “book of beasts” is a collection of illustrated descriptions of animals. Popular in Western Europe in the Middle Ages, they dealt with physical, spiritual and mythic aspects of animals, often with a moral message. Bestiaries became a genre amongst 20th century cartoonists, editions being created by artists like Paul Flora and Saul Steinberg.
“A Bestiary by Andy Leuenberger” is human comedy using animal metaphors.
The bestiary is being self-published in a series of 28 page booklets. “Magic Buck” was released in 2016 with an exhibition at Ratata Comic and Illustration Festival in Macerata, Italy. Excerpts of the Bestiary have also been exhibited at Fumetto Comic Festival (Lucerne) and in the Gallery Guillaume Daeppen (Basel). This is a presentation of the second booklet “Clown Bison” in the Supalife Kiosk. It is the first “Bestiary by Andy Leuenberger” exhibition in Berlin.
