Born in Tel-Aviv, Israel, Anat Even-Or is an award-winning illustrator who creates amazing editorial illustrations, comics and children’s books; and is a graduate of The Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Her versatility is amazing – she is able to translate while masterfully applying different mediums according to what’s needed in a project. This is evident from the soft pastels and simple shapes used for children’s books; to more intricate details with drama and flair for comics and editorials.
David Shrigley makes everyone laugh, point and talk about his work all the time! I never visited an exhibition that touched and created joy in everyone, with all types of backgrounds, from kids to art critics.
There was this part of the exhibition that you could see a lot of very small sculptures of these characters that he created and then, right before them you could read: “Do not trespass or alarm will be activated”. Of course, some of the visitors trespassed – and the alarm rang!
On the side, some visitors were getting stuck, not finding the next room. The wall had a hole and everyone was supposed to be passing there.
I found this trailer below made by the southbank centre with an interview with David Shrigley:
And the pictures I found here and here (they didn’t allow me to take pictures).
Visiting the exhibition of one my favorite artists right in between two trips? It wasn’t luck, I think this time was fate! 😀 I happened to bump into a wall covered with his drawings on the day I went to see Cindy Sherman’s exhibition two months ago!
