Stella Im Hultberg - Illustrator

[.francesca]

yet another new thing to love stellaimhultberg.com

her gestures and poses remind me of egon schiele, and the style of the faces reminds me a bit of john curran. both amazing, and this amalgamation of both is equally beautiful.

i can't grab the images from her site (above) so here are a few from artsymag.com

oh! but here is her livejournal, with artwork! momomoogie.livejournal.com

scrolling through her livejournal might yield some images of mina perhonen patterns....

lovely! I specially like the toned paper ones. Just gorgeous.

To me her drawings are more Horst Janssen than Schiele. An interesting style of drawing.

i think the quality of the lines, the gestures, postures that her figures are making are very schiele. also sometimes the style of hands - i see a lot of schiele in the hands as well. but i also see a lot of horst janssen as well

thank you for bringing this in, .f!

i agree about the comparisons, obviously ...
i do like the lines and the fragility very much but i find those gummi lips a little mannered and meaningless (god, what a statement)

do you mean john currin or is there a john curran, too?

 

[.francesca]

i definitely agree with you about the lips - i think in some of the images it works, but overall - a bit overdone

i did mean john currin - my mistake!

i'm very interested in the patterned backgrounds, like the clouds one at the top.
thanks for posting

I enjoy looking at her livejournal. Really great stuff, especially love the stained paper pieces, and the use of inks.
