I had to work on making a manifesto in a group, featuring 6 monsters that we made and represented us. We had to define a society, its rules, religion (or not religion).
Knowing the kind of society I would love to live in, I immediately thought of Les colories by Alexandre Jardin, a book for kids where children got rid of all the adults of the iland and found their own society, devoid of responsibilities and hard work, full of joy, colour. The kids live in trees, and their food come from pélicans, so they don't have to move all day, unless for playing.
How can this not inspire any society ?
I thought of this society applied to the monsters, who would live in a colourful world, where monsters would live in houses in trees, reliated by cocoons made of clothes, that they rejected.
With this idea, I looked at Sara Fanelli's style, that we could interpret as childish and colourful, which would get well with the society.
she uses collage, which would be the perfect medium to represent childhood, plus her characters are rather exagerreated, disproportionated, which would fit the story. I like that she used patterned paper for trees, this is why I used some for mine, using William Morris's
the idea to use bold colours for the bushes came from Bault, but he, instead of collage, mostly uses spray and acrylic. I also thought of adding lines, but then I thought the blocks of colours alone were enough.
Bault.
The house and design for the monsters came from Dulk
I also make this collage
In which I cut images from The Odysee, cut their heads to draw some monsters heads inspired by Sara Fanelli.
