Kaley Mckean, Illustrator, London

Description

This vibrant illustration by London-based illustrator Kaley Mckean depicts a surreal botanical scene bursting forth from an open metal safe. A large grey safe with its heavy door ajar serves as the focal point, from which whimsical flora and fauna erupt upward and outward. A brilliant red and pink bird with yellow beak and eye ascends from the top left amidst yellow flowers and botanical pods. Vibrant purple and yellow mushrooms, stylized blue and green leaves, and delicate blue butterflies populate the composition. At the base, a small yellow frog rests on a green leaf alongside a tiny pink centipede. The entire artwork features a textured, chalky or colored pencil aesthetic with rich saturated tones of pink, green, yellow, blue, and purple against a clean white background.
