| Shadow Boxes - Julia Anastasopoulos |
Inspired
by line art, illustrated children’s books and landscapes, Anastasopoulos has
created detailed hand-drawn illustrated murals for the bus station in Cape town
where she lives. This artist has also transferred the designs over to tote bags
as a limited edition buy as well as creating paper cut-out “shadow boxes”. The
Shadow boxes in particular interest me as they are layered up into a 3-D image
within a box frame, this creates a fun and intriguing ornament. Cape town as a
place also inspires her when drawing inspiration from the city for various
projects.

To
the left is a photograph of Julia’s contemporary illustration for the MiCity Bus
station in Capetown. Set
a task to represent the historical context of the city within a contemporary
style, Anastasopoulos
responded to this using a mixture of line drawing and modernist stylized block
colouring.
The
image shown below displays her piece which was created with inspiration from her
previous bus station work. Using a combination of perspective drawing and the
physically geometrically shaped panel she creates an illustration which entices
the viewer to look up and down the image and view it as if it was the view from
a window.
