(1042) Isabella Thermes - Fig.13 - A Walk in the Woods
400
About this artwork
Figure 13 from the Knowles Encyclopaedia sparked my imagination to the point where I decided to use that simple cataloguing reference as the main title for the image I have created. The fairy tale atmosphere of the Knowles image gave a further nudge to develop my own idea into a magical place where not everything makes logical sense but where everything finds, however, its perfect place shaping an alternative, more bearable reality as a result.
From the original image I have also taken the colour palette made of green, red and white (Fig.13 belonged to a “Have fun with colours” chapter/section, after all), which is almost exactly my preferred colour palette in illustration and drawing. Through these means, I have reimagined a story, whose protagonist is a modern Little Red Riding Hood (clad in a vintage red and green Tartan coat), where the wolf is replaced by a friendlier Greyhound and the hares, who have become white for aesthetic reasons, are the ultimate companions of a walk in the woods.
About Isabella
Isabella Thermes is an Italian who lived and worked in the US and London before moving to Berlin in order to pursue a career as illustrator and graphic novelist.
She has held exhibitions (“Donne e Costumi di Sardegna, at Mediateca del Mediterraneo, Cagliari, Italy in 2016) and worked on private and commercial commissions.
Her first graphic novel, ‘The Human Heart’ is currently under submission.
Her illustration style is built on creating vector images with an emphasis on colours and patterns and hand-drawn illustrations using a Rotring isograph pen and a limited palette of liquid inks: black, red and greys.
The accent is on precise, clean drawing.
Her non-vector work is often digitally manipulated and reworked as mixed-media.
A passion for graphic design but also for illustration and drawing are the forces that drive her work in two parallel directions. Graphic design and its subtraction process opens the path to exploring pure form while illustration and drawing are the preferred means to magical realism storytelling.
