I guess it's not difficult to see why the work of graphic design duo Craig Redman and Karl Maier appeals to me. Vivid colours, bold black outlines, simple shapes - tick, tick, tick.
Their pop-art designs and illustrations are reminiscent of the work of Milton Glaser, Roy Lichtenstein and Patrick Caulfield (and no, I didn't see either Roy or Patrick at the Tates this year, which makes me hate myself a little bit), but they also bring something new to the table with street art influences and contemporary cultural references
If you haven't come across them before, take a look at some of the incredible projects they've worked on.
They've been on my list of fantasy collaborators for a while (it's a list that only exists in my head, and it's quite long, but man, we're working on some amazing windows in there).
In the meantime, I'll just keep an eye on their Instagram feed.
Hi Flora,
ReplyDeleteDo you also know Romero Britto?
Hi, no I hadn't seen his work before, but it's wild! Kind of kitschy/camp in a way, but that's no bad thing. Thanks for the suggestion :)
