Lines and Colors: Illustrating the Imagination
From the whimsical and fantastical to the gritty and realistic, the featured illustrations highlight the versatility of this art form. Each artist brings their unique vision and style to their illustrations as a valuable and dynamic form of art. These artworks also demonstrate the power of visual storytelling. The use of composition, color, and character design transports us to different worlds and invite us to engage with complex narratives. Through this carefully curated selection of works, exhibition Lines and Colors: Illustrating the Imagination curated by anloremi (aka me) aims to showcase the vast and diverse world of illustration and its role in the broader art world: as a powerful and complex form of visual storytelling that can engage audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
