Rost Graphics Berlin

Rost the art of drawing, visiting Berlin in 2013 I found this brilliant graphic illustrators work on display in the Hamburg Bahnhof gallery, the works focus being on urban landscapes created in a traditional Japanese print style. 

The work really stood out for me due to the combination of detailed intricate use of line and shape but with a subtlety and simplistity due to the use of complimentary and contrasting colour tones.

This technique of using more traditional japanese print methods but the content being much more contempary and of the time. There is a real graphic style to these illustrations and the combination of the red type in the top left along side these striking images makes for an engaging and alluring design.

This kind of graphical illustration is something I would love to try and experiment with in my workings, I have always had a passion for architecture in design and art and this work is the perfect example of how they can be combined to be interesting and engaging.
