Blow Up: Hanuka, Shimizu, Weber is an exhibit at the Society of Illustrators in NY that features three artists I’ve profiled previously, Tomer Hanuka, Yuko Shimizu and Sam Weber.
The organizers make a point of the disparate backgrounds and visual approaches of the three artists.
Hanuka’s richly colored comics illustrations, Shimizu’s admixture of Yukio-e and pop culture and Weber’s sometimes brooding, often monochromatic intensity make for an interesting study in contrasts.
Though there isn’t an online gallery of work from the exhibit, you can find plenty of work by all three illustrators on their respective blogs and websites (listed below).
Blow Up: Hanuka, Shimizu, Weber is on display at the Society of Illustrators, New York until October 16, 2010.
