Martin Cole, Illustrator, Paris

Description

This mixed-media composition by illustrator Martin Cole features a collage of black and white photographic panels arranged on a textured surface. The individual panels isolate various physical details, including waistlines in dark denim jeans, bare midriffs, shoulders, and arms. Several panels are set against vibrant solid colour blocks of orange, yellow, and muted purple. The grain and high-contrast monochrome printing give the imagery a raw, tactile quality. The overall arrangement creates a rhythmic interplay of form, texture, and negative space.
