WHELAN RETROSPECTIVE IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA OPENS FEBRUARY 2017
Escape to thought-provoking realms in a major Michael Whelan exhibition opening at the Riverside Art Museum in February 2017. “Beyond Science Fiction” features 50+ masterpieces from the storied career of a modern master.
Michael Whelan’s pop-culture-defining imagery has undoubtedly influenced many of the top illustrators working today. But his deeply personal work simultaneously resonates with sophisticated art collectors.
“Beyond Science Fiction” offers a unique opportunity to view both his illustration and personal works side by side in a breathtaking show curated by Bob Self of Baby Tattoo Books.
Come join us in celebrating work from an artist whose accomplishments are unrivaled in his field.
