About Henan Illustration Serija ilustracij

Henan Illustration je serija petih ilustracij, ki temelji na tradicionalnih lesorezih novoletnih slik iz mesta Zhuxian v provinci Henan na Kitajskem. Serija na novo interpretira klasične figure iz teh odtisov v ploskem, ročno risanem slogu, primernem za mlajše gledalce. Linije likov so bile narisane na tablici s slikarsko ploščo, robovi in barve pa so bili dokončani v programski opremi za urejanje slik. Visoko nasičeni rumeni in modri toni ustvarjajo kontrast, vsak lik pa nosi drugačen obrazni izraz. Cilj je obnoviti zanimanje javnosti za bledečo ljudsko umetnost.
