Best of British Illustrations - AOI 'Images 35'

 

images35_cw-coverHartwig's original and intricate work has been selected, for the second consecutive year, to feature in the Association of Illustrators prestigious annual design publication ‘Images’ – the UK’s leading illustration competition, annual yearbook, awards show, and touring exhibition dedicated to showcasing the very best in contemporary illustration published in the UK.

 

In the previous year it was the 
Greenwich Maritime ‘0 Degrees Longitude’ image, which was chosen to appear in 2010 edition ‘Images 34’ and to be part of the exhibition currently touring the UK.

 

In 2011 for ‘Images 35’, three designs were selected from the artist’s portfolio of high-profile commissions; Canary Wharf (a striking black and white design created for a magazine cover); the Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao) produced directly for the museum; and Rome Colosseum (again, another commission, this time for Woodmansterne Publications).

 

The Canary Wharf magazine cover was commissioned to mark the publication's 60th edition in July 2010 and features a bird's eye view of Canary Wharf with the O2 in the background. The magazine cover was printed white on black with foil as fills. Many people living & working at Canary Wharf who visited our gallery-shop at Greenwich told us they really enjoyed seeing Hartwig's perspective on this iconic financial centre.

 

The Rome image was commissioned by Woodmansterne publications during 2010 to be part of a new range celebrating the urban in Hartwig's signature style and across twelve different city designs including London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Venice and Rome.

 

For the AOI 'Images 35' competition Hartwig created a special version of the Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao) image he was commissioned to do in 2009. This special version is showing the Guggenheim Mudeum building in 6 different colours put next to each other in an arrangement Hartwig names "The Guggenheim meets Warhol".
