These are the drawings I made from the book “Toys of the Avant-Garde” by Jose Lebrero Stals published by Museo Picasso Malaga. My tutor lent me this book and I absolutely loved it. The exhibition was on last Summer in Malaga in the Museum Picasso. The show showcased the toys made by famous artists and others unknown, in the first half of the twentieth century.
From the moment I saw this book it reminded me a lot of the work that I would do in my Illustration course 4 years ago and following years, I couldn’t resist the nostalgia. To come across this book was a “meant to be” kind of personal encounter. My work in the last two months has been a bit made with a kind of toy/characterisation approach.
For my degree show I have in mind this puppet show kind of stage in my mind, loads of fabric sewn sculptures and colourful drawings. A kind of a theatre or puppet show reflecting in the irony in life.
