After the 'Some Thoughts Concerning Illustration' seminar, I felt really inspired by the Culture and Society genres of Illustration. I particularly liked the New Yorker Cover by Adrian Tomine, as I really liked, not only the style of the illustration, but the subtle narrative that comes through. The image is based around the idea of having that instant 'love at first sight' connection with someone, and how it can instantly disappear into the depth of the city. I think that the faded use of colour creates an interesting contrast between everyday life and the euphoria of 'love at first sight'. Although this image could be classed as society illustration, I feel that there are themes of Culture, e.g the culture of commuters in a city. I like the idea of exploring culture as a theme in my written work, because of how culture is such a broad theme, explored by a wide range of artists. When exploring the theme of culture in Illustration, I found a number of artists that reflect cultural aspects in their work.
Ale Giorgini The Singh Twins
