Art.Box: Pablo Carpio

We are delighted to present issue number two of Art.Box featuring Pablo Carpio!

Fill your eyes with the imaginings of Spanish artist, Pablo Carpio.  His art is a curious blend of perfectly rendered traditional and urban landscapes with a freaky futuristic or alien twist! Most notably, Pablo’s work is a superlative example of all things lit by light, the mesmerising power of light in the hands of a talented artist.

Art.Box: Gérald Parel

It is a thrill to present Gerald Parel! Vivid images, striking juxtopositions, uncommon associations, are all ours to enjoy and revel in repeatedly. He is a genius in depicting a memorable persona, with a flair for the dramatic and intense, with illustrations that harken back to film noir movie posters, pulp fiction book covers, pop culture representations, all with a modern twist.

Gerald Parel is a French artist currently working as art director for HITZONE. He started as a comic book artist for Marvel and DC before going on to have a career in advertising, movies and videogames with companies such as Six More Vodka, Riot Games and Netease.

Sketch. Box: Abigail Larson

Abigail Larson works primarily with pencil, ink, watercolour, and Photoshop, creating unique mixed-media illustrations. She enjoys the strange and archaic. When she’s not drawing, she can likely be found watching re-runs of Dark Shadows, traveling, researching bizarre myths and legends, or spending time with her favourite long-leggedy beasts, ghouls, ghosts, and other things that go bump in the night.

Her greatest inspirations are fairytales, folklore, and ghost stories. The works of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, the Brothers Grimm, Shirley Jackson, Angela Carter, and many classic gothic works of fiction, such as Dracula and Frankenstein have always stirred her imagination.

Get ready to dive into the delightfully eerie world of artist Abigail Larson!

Sketch. Box: Somnath Pal

Somnath Pal is our second artist that we are thrilled to present in our Sketch.Box collection, and we think you are going to be almighty impressed!

Somnath Pal’s sketch book is filled with detailed illustrations that are in turn emotionally charged, sensuous, surprising contradictory, and comic. Evident throughout his work is a tributary thread honouring and highlighting the vivid history and everyday circumstance of his native India.

He has been fascinated by the works of modern contemporary masters, Claire Wendling, Juan Gimenez, Kim Jung Gi, Katsuhiro Otomo and Terada Katsuya, constantly borrowing inspiration from them, easily appreciated as we eagerly examine each illustration!

Sketch. Box: Björn Hurri

Our third artist to be featured in the successful Sketch.Box series is Swedish award winning concept artist and art director, Björn Hurri.

He is skilled in rendering the fantastic images lurking in his extraordinary imagination (to know what we mean, check out Björn Hurri’s previous books, Oro and Abominations!).

The benefit of a sketch is its immediacy and nearness to the viewer, and Björn’s character sketches each have a quality of closeness, some even appear to loom! Other anatomy sketches reveal a sensitivity and gentleness that evoke vulnerability and intimacy.
