This exhibition presents original concept art sourced from The Art of The Last of Us (Dark Horse, 2013), highlighting the creative foundations that shaped the game’s emotional and visual identity. By foregrounding these works, From Creation to Collapse challenges the perception that video games exist outside the realm of fine art.
Through this lens, the exhibition reveals the depth of artistic craftsmanship involved in game development—from environmental design to character storytelling—reframing video games as a powerful and legitimate artistic medium.
