art.box: daniela uhlig

The artist we have chosen to open the Art.Box collection is none other than Daniela Uhlig. Her portraits and depictions of strong women have been familiar to art lovers for years, and we’re delighted to be launching this new series with such an iconic artist. Daniela Uhlig has undoubtedly captured an intangible essence that makes human beings so mysterious and unpredictable – a rare feat!

art.box: pablo carpio

The second book of our collection is devoted to Pablo Carpio. Dive into the imagination of talented Spanish artist Pablo Carpio. His art is a curious blend of traditional and urban landscapes, with a futuristic and sometimes even extraterrestrial touch. Pablo’s work is a perfect example of the hypnotic power of such a talented artist. Pablo is now known for his fascinating work with textures, his realistic worlds and for the dynamism of his illustrations, which never fail to tell a story.

art.box: gérald parel

Well-known to comic book fans, French artist Gérald Parel treats us to a gallery of colourful characters in this third volume of the Art.Box collection. From a badass version of Disney princesses to a reinterpretation of vintage film posters, from heroines made in the USSR (during the Brezhnev era) to Dark Santa (an alternative version of the Saturday Evening Post), the author offers us an incursion into his retro-punk universe full of sound and fury. In his work, the intense rubs shoulders with the dramatic, humour flirts with the grandiose.

sketch.box: abigail larson

Abigail Larson works mainly in pencil, ink, watercolour and Photoshop, creating unique mixed media illustrations. She loves the strange and archaic. When she’s not drawing, she can be found watching Dark Shadows reruns, travelling, researching weird myths and legends, or spending time with her favourite beasts, ghouls, ghosts and other things that go bump in the night. His greatest inspirations are fairy tales, folklore and ghost stories. The writings of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft and the Brothers Grimm and fiction such as Dracula and Frankenstein have always stimulated his imagination. Discover her world in this sketchbook!

sketch.box: somnath pal

Somnath Pal is the second artist we are pleased to present in our Sketch.Box collection. This sketchbook is filled with detailed illustrations that are by turns emotional, sensual, surprisingly contradictory and comic. Throughout her work, the common thread running through her art is the vivid history and daily life of her native India. Somnath Pal is fascinated by the works of modern contemporary masters such as Claire Wendling, Juan Gimenez, Kim Jung Gi, Katsuhiro Otomo and Terada Katsuya, and is constantly inspired by them, which shines through in his illustrations!

sketch.box: bjorn hurri

Our third artist to feature in the Sketch.Box series is multi-award-winning Swedish concept artist and art director Björn Hurri!

His talent for rendering the fantastic images hidden in his imagination is extraordinary. The advantage of a sketch is that it’s immediately understandable to the viewer, and the characters drawn by Björn Hurri all have an astonishing closeness, some even seeming to reveal themselves little by little before our very eyes!
