Another collage from the Forest series, the ongoing project I've been working on. I've been doing some experiments using more colours, patterns and abstract shapes to create backgrounds.In other news I went to the (extremely glamourous!) private view for the fantastic new exhibition Dior Illustrated: René Gruau and the Line of Beauty at Somerset House last week.
The show is a retrospective of the work of illustrator Gruau and features his collaborations with the fashion house throughout the decades, along with a selection of contemporary illustrators' homages to some of his pieces. Personally its the style, the movement and complete simplicity of Gruau's illustrations that I love, they perfectly compliment the Dior style. He is the king of fashion illustration!
The exhibition also features beautiful graphic design by Studio Frith. Wonderful stuff.
