Dave McKean's illustrations and multimedia works are celebrated for creating otherworldly dreamscapes — splendor and nightmare coming together in a hallucinatory fantasia. The frequent Neil Gaiman collaborator (Violent Cases, The Sandman) and album cover designer (Tori Amos, Alice Cooper) presents Nitrate, a collection of macabre oil paintings, and the exhibition catalogue Kinogeists. Century Guild also features rare silent-era film posters and screens F.W. Murnau's classic Faust on Friday night. On Saturday, McKean introduces a collection of his little-seen short films before screening MirrorMask, his visually bracing directorial debut.
