Soiree

I absolutely love wispy, whimsical and ethereal art-especially art that looks airy, soft, with delicate brush strokes, displays a strong use of pastel colors and the look of controlled watercolor.

Combine the colors with delicate lines, extreme details, enchanting settings and an expertise at depicting both human and animal figures and it’s a sure hit for me.

Soiree: Art Collection Of Nekosuke from PIE International fills the bill on all accounts.

What a wonderful soft, oversize paperback collection of magical illustrations!

Imagine cats dressed in jackets and trousers, giant rodents complete with their human companions, mystical ponds, enchanted drawing rooms, period piece costumed characters and bizarre parties and events-the list goes on and on.

What a wonderful feast for the eyes! The craftsmanship and talent to draw, design and imagine such magical settings and creatures pays tribute to the artist.

I love the use of warm earth tones, coupled with muted grays and pastels occasionally accented by bright reds, pinks, turquoise and greens.  What a visual treat!

The artist displays their mastery of the medium.  Paint, brush and ink all combine to create some of the most gorgeous illustrations I’ve ever seen.  Such talent and imagination!
