World Illustration Awards Exhibition at Somerset House
On Sunday October 31st we went to the World Illustration Awards Exhibition at Somerset House (London). It was a pure delight. Not only it was hosted at one of my favorite venues in London, but the selection of works by contemporary illustrators was quite good. The one I liked the most was Malika Favre’s Futurist-inspired posters for the BAFTAs 2015, but there were many remarkable ones, like Bartosz Kosowskis perfect poster for Kubrick
s Lolita, the cheerfully cute drawings of Chris Haughton for the Royal London Children`s Hospital, the super busy “Larger Than line” by Mattias Adolfsson, the powerful and colorful “Alice in Wonderland” art by Grahame Baker-Smith, or the iconic “Autism” work by Aad Goudappel (one copy of which I acquired for our private collection).
