17th December - Research... 'Magic Pencil', British Council and British Libraries
Sara Fanelli
Originally from Italy, Sara Fanelli came to London to attend
act school as she believed it would offer her more opportunities to develop
personally as an artist. Whilst at art school, Fanelli developed an interest in
collage, to build upon her flat painting, as a way of adding texture and
experimenting with composition.
This is an evident part of Fanelli’s Illustrations, creating
a bright, abstract style. In her illustrations, she begins by drawing, before
layering them using collage to experiment with composition, adding in
typography, her own designed lettering.
All of the drawings created by Sara Fanelli are from her
travels to cities where she keeps a sketchbook based on museums and other
places of interest.
Unlike many of the illustrators I have researched, Fanelli
does not use the computer at all. She believes that some artists and
illustrators rely on it too much.
