Sashiko Yuen aka Wishcandy is one of my favourite artists. It's impossible not to like her whimsy-fueled, slightly disturbing, pastel-hued artwork. It's a wonderful world full of bright patterns, bubble gum and cotton candy, but also features blood, tears and bruises, so it's quite an epitome of girlhood. Donuts, confetti, lollipops, kitsch bows, candy floss coloured hair, quirky girls... I am marvelled at how inspiring this stuff is! These illustrations are, essentially, a one-way ticket to a trippy Wonderland, creating portraits of imaginary, edgy pin-up-esque rebel girls.
This young artist is currently located in LA and describes her work as "a sassy candy-coated horror show. It's full of compassion, eroticism, violence, and the search for true freedom. Inspired by retro culture, street fashion, kitsch, beauty, and the grotesque. (...) My work is a double-edged sword. It's bright, colorful and fun but it tackles darker subjects. I enjoy exploring both the beautiful and the grotesque. They're not mutually exclusive.". I couldn't agree more.
"a sassy candy-coated horror show", achei a descrição perfeita! Não conhecia, mas gostei bastante das ilustrações :)

Damn... adorei! Tenho um fraco enorme por ilustrações, principalmente assim do género da Ilse Valfré, Junko Mizuno. Estava à procura de inspiração para acabar de decorar as paredes da casa. Assim de repente encontrei mais alguma. ;)
ReplyDeletePronto! Agora vou-me deitar e ter pesadelos....:-) Mas que piada é que isto tem?... Nenhuma.

Olha Nancy, em resposta ao que me perguntaste, uma amiga minha passava-me logo directamente pro pc; o último rolo foi na kodak, por isso calculo que seja igual x) Mas estas últimas são digitais :)
