Geraldine Georges is a Belgian illustrator/graphic designer who blends illustration and photography together to form amazing abstract and sophisticated pieces of work. She often captures the female form, she drives influences from couture and fashion which flow through out her work. I have chosen to look at this work because I love the idea of mixing two mediums together to form something new and creative.
The photograph above seems to derive from the saying "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". I think this because the first image of the woman her hair seems to be covering her ears, the second the is a mask covering her eyes and the last her hands are over her mouth. If that is what was supposed to come across, I think she done it very well, as it is quite subtle and not noticeable at first glance. The lines work really well with the photograph, and I like the fact that she decided to not add any colour to this particular image, as it then means it keeps its minimalistic qualities which is what really sells this piece.
The titles of the work is very simple and dedicates what can be found in the piece, with the first photograph being titled 'Tresse' which is french for braid.
Personally I love this piece of work as it allows room for interpretation. I like the usage of a three images into one as it then makes the work more elaborate and that more sophisticated. The usage of no colours works really for the piece as I think if there were too many bright colours it would drown the meaning of the work, keeping it simple and minimal works just as effectively as using big loud colours.
"I think Art in general has no limit. Imagination has no limit. The means and technics are countless, their evolution is so fast that it's really difficult to imagine an end to it."- Geraldine Georges
