Contemporary paradoxes in minimalist illustrations
Illustrations are not only a great way to show an object, but also to make an opinion about it. After all, it depends on the illustrator's line how the presented thing looks: whether it impresses us, intrigues us or on the contrary: rejects or gets bored. In this case, illustration serves as a means of criticizing modern society.
Italian artist Davide Bonazzi creates minimalist illustrations in which he criticizes today's society. From constantly looking at the phone, through driving a car, to taking loans for a sumptuous life - today's society is full of paradoxes.
Instead of leaving traces in real life, we leave them on the web - after all, more than one private detective's investigation begins today on the Internet, although we are aware of global warming, we drive cars, and we prefer to admire the phone screen from admiring the views on the road.
Davide Bonazzi lives in Bologna, he is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and the European Institute of Design in Milan. His work has appeared in magazines such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, GQ, Variety, and Fortune. His style is a combination of digital techniques and using scanned objects.
