Local Events: ILLUSTRATIVE 2008 in Zurich

The intersection of modern illustration and graphic design is currently on display at ILLUSTRATIVE. The festival, which runs until October 26 showcases new and well-known avant-garde and experimental talents from the worlds of illustration and fashion. The mix is an exciting one, with over 400 works from more than sixty international artists.

We were really struck by the work of mixed media artist, Julien Vallée. His clear and direct style feels appropriate and familiar. In his piece, Future Part II, he quotes Albert Einstein, “Talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence, answering yourself is a sign of insanity.” Click Read More to view images from other festival participants, including Eric Nyquist, Tim Dinter and Roman Bittner.
