Illustrative Berlin
written October 29th, 2009 · 0 comments
Yesterday I went to the Illustrative Berlin show with my friend and saw some great stuff! Here’s an overview of the artists who participated (although all are not listed).
The first artist that caught my eye was CIOU from France, I think (her website is biography-less). The pieces she exhibited were so finely painted, I had to view the paintings so close to see some of the finest lines. She paints fantastical female characters with a bit of a punk/death/dark side to them. The canvases were initially covered with collaged newspaper that was varnished with a brownish yellow color and then the characters were painted over that. There seemed to be so many layers and the detail was fascinating. Such gems! Check out some other work of hers (images from her website):
