I don't think it's meant to be a pixel art exhibition. I think it's just an exhibition showing different art from games. The title "Into the Pixel" is probably just a name to suggest to people that it is to do with computer games.
"The Boy Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was "
Imagine that as a sidescrolling platform game!
Oh, I thought so.
The dragon is certainly interesting. Nothing too amazing, though.
