Well, "The Panelists" exhibit at Pravus, 501 East Roosevelt Street, might be what you’re looking for. Framed as a celebration of the comic-book panel, the KRK Ryden-curated exhibit goes beyond the mere novelty of expanding the basic unit of sequential art to the gallery walls. Ryden's own works fit his pop-surrealist sensibility within panels in the style of the Silver Age of comics, yellowed edges and all.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is Love on the Run, a wall-size collection of 15 pieces, one from each exhibiting artist, plus a bonus work from Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh. Each panel of the collaborative work advances the sci-fi narrative of an alien abduction and the resultant havoc, but remains solidly imbued in the style of its respective artist.
