Swedish Illustrator Cassandra Rhodin

I just stumbled across this illustrator's work. It is so NOW I nearly turned myself inside out. Rhodin uses a confident combination of ink and water colour, to create predominantly monochrome and subtle coloured work. There is an ambivalence in the character of the faces that seem to embody the french quality of nonchalance that borders on arrogance.

The illustrations hark back to the early 70's fashion illustrations, with influences from the 1940's. If you blended Coco Chanel, Twiggy and the Olsen Twins I think that this is what you would come up with.

The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions with the art being both innocent and erotic. Audrey's precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.

The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.
