To celebrate the release of Pictoplasma’s “Pen to Paper” publication, we presented a series of exhibitions in London, Paris and Berlin. The revival of analogue skills has injected immeasurable visual wealth into the world of illustration, fine art and especially character design. Artists reject the computer and channel their creativity through spontaneous freehand drawing to create untamed, edgy and exceptional beings.

All that seems left of our beloved cartoon faces, familiar consumer mascots and pop icon characters is a distorted, far away echo.

Pen to Paper showcased original work by Shoboshobo (FR), Allyson Mellberg Taylor (US), Seth Scriver (CA), Andrew James Jones (UK), John Casey (US), Luke Ramsey (CA), Eric Shaw (US), Thomas Bernard (FR), Lane Hagood (US), Joey Haley (CA), Kerozen (FR), Ian Stevenson (UK), Arnaud Loumeau (FR), Fia Cielen (BE), Frédéric Fleury (FR), Matt Lock (US), Ola Vasiljeva (NL), and Yu Matsuoka (JP/FR).

pentopaper_headlinesPICTOPLASMA PUBLISHING
Pen to Paper presents a fine selection of the most adventurous images from a global scene of artists, working mainly with a pen or analogue techniques such as water color, ink or collage.
This recent revival has injected immeasurable visual wealth into the world of illustration, fine art and especially character design. Artists reject the computer and channel their creativity through spontaneous freehand drawing to create untamed, edgy and exceptional beings.

Pen to Paper showcases the key players of what is being labelled ‘DIY art’, ‘fractured figuration’ or ‘new psychedelic folk’, including Mehdi Hercberg alias Shoboshobo, Allyson Mellberg Taylor, Andrew James Jones, John Casey, Luke Ramsey, Eric Shaw, Allison Schulnik, Thomas Bernard, Lane Hagood, Stéphane Prigent alias Kerozen and many more. Original essays by Michael Bonesteel and Alex Michon.
