I found this artist Stumbling. I found his website through a couple of links, and picked this image out of his online galleries. It is from the same series as the images that I originally saw, but this one stood out to me. It has more color than most of his other pieces in this series, and I found the pose of the figure more interesting. I was surprised to discover that I really love this style. It’s not the kind of illustration I usually look at, so I’m glad I happened to come across it. Conrad Roset is from Barcelona, and he has done work for many companies, including Coca Cola and Adidas. He has a large amount of work on his website, conradroset.com. You can view both personal work, which this piece is part of, and commercial work. Some of his ad work looks more finished, but I prefer the unfinished quality of his personal works.
I love the concept of this piece with the dripping water color effect which fits the piece of drawing on herself. It's so simple yet the few splotches of color just draws you in. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWith the majority of this piece's drippage coming from the blueness of her hair, the pink blood from her arms doesn't seem to be a bad thing at all. In fact, it seems to be a sort of spiritual moment. I guess the fact that she's admiring what's probably a new tattoo might have something to do with this.
ReplyDeleteI love how the artist makes the subject of a tattoo ink parallel to the inkiness of the painting. It gives it a surreal, dreamy quality that's very lovely.
ReplyDeleteMan, this image is so nice, something I could never get quite right.. That drippy surrealist look. Color and composition are both great.
ReplyDeletethis is cool. i feel like i have seen it on a t-shirt somewhere...
ReplyDeleteThe unfinished aspect is quite beautiful.
