INFO
Electric Blue Gallery welcomes in May with a solo show entitled Cocoon from London based illustrator and artist Von.

With Cocoon comes a small oasis in London's busy East End where you are invited to find refuge, sit on the grass and surround yourself with Summer, zebra's and birds - executed, as always, with Von's own inimitable, morphological abstraction. Cocoon is the next development in the artist's ongoing Animal Series of drawings which has previously been published as part of Creative Review's award winning Monograph series, travelled on billboards from London to New York in the Migration exhibition, adopted by Liberty of London for their relaunch and appeared on the catwalk at Milan Fashion Week as part of the Trussardi A/W 09 collection.

Whilst on the surface this ongoing collection of drawings is a simple exploration of beauty found in the animal kingdom it is also an in depth examination in image construction, form and the process of drawing itself.

BIO

HelloVon is the studio established in 2006 by London based illustrator and artist Von.

Utilising a seamless blend of traditional and digital mark making techniques Von has accrued an international client list, been featured in numerous publications across the globe and has exhibited in such prestigious venues as The London Design Museum.

Influenced by nature and popular culture and able to flawlessly walk the line between surrealism and documentary portraiture his artwork is both detailed and abstract, capturing a mood in what appears to be a fleeting moment in time.

TESTIMONIALS

"No designer represents the rising-tide graphic design strategy of commingling traditional drawing and digital technique more than London's Hellovon"
Ami Kealoha (www.coolhunting.com)

"Von has been a pleasure to work with. He is organised, disciplined and clearly a creative soul whom I am certain will carry a groundbreaking aesthetic flag far into the future. It's fascinating to see such seriousness of intent conveyed through the most excessively elegant expressions of vision."
Zoe Coombes (Commonwealth / Espeis Architype Gallery)

"Good old craftmanship developed and transformed into surprising, cool and contemporary compositions."
Kjell Ekhorn (Non-Format)
