The exhibition "le Journal" showcases the illustrations Ali "le Jeune" Febe, East London based Communication designer, made about articles he red in journals and magazines;their themes range across geopolitics, psychology, society and economy.

Artist Statement:

I rediscovered my love for drawing combining it with that for current affairs and information, inspired by the work of illustrators such as Alessandro "Shout" Gottardo and Angelo Monne.

Wondering how they visually conveyed meanings and contents i investigated those conceptual mechanisms and made them the core of my work, developing a visual language consisting. -for each piece- in a limited colour palette the main subject is often "sculpted" from with grainy "lights" and "shadows".

The visual metaphors represented in the drawings are a good and simple example on how the design method works in general and that is there for everyone to achieve."

The artist will also be hosting a workshop on Thursday 27th June from 3pm - 5pm.
