The fragile beauty of Adolie Day
<< Back
Pixie waifs in the octopus's garden Aug 23, 2008 at 08:12
Discovering the wonderful universe of Adolie Day is like uncovering that octopus's garden in the shade the Beatles sang about, that is unless that garden is some wired euphemism for sex which I always kind of though it might be. Whatever though, let’s just assume that an octopuses garden is a really cool, magical place where all sorts of magnificent things can be found. Like the beautiful work of Adolie Day, a French artist who captures the world around her with a fanciful sweetness.

Yet not only does this busy little bee bring to life whimsical and beautiful pixie like waifs and strays through her illustrations, but she designs textiles for children’s clothing for Kenzo kids and Catimini, and she also illustrates for children’s books edited by La Marelle.

At home in France she is currently preparing for exhibitions to be held in France and the US later this year, so if you happen to be in the area you can check out Adoli’es work in person at the following venues: October at INSPIRATIONS in Nantes, France; November at the Subtex Gallery in San Diego USA for the ‘Kokeshi Show’; and in December at Les Damoiselles in Nantes, France.
