Swathed in patterned coats, overlooking expansive vistas, or reveling the fun of solitude, the characters in Rosanna Tasker’s illustrations (beforehand) enjoyment of easy pleasures. Emphasizing the potential of shade and distinction to create a way of heat and depth, figures take pleasure in glowing interiors, and landscapes fade into the blue of distance.
Tasker’s figures are sometimes camouflaged or miniaturized by their towering environment, whether or not wandering amongst stacks of textiles or strolling by way of a grove of timber. “Recently, I’ve been enjoying playing with pattern, light and depth,” she tells Colossal. “I’m always aiming for the balance of challenging my comfort zone while also staying true to my natural style.”
Whereas she will be able to’t but expose a few of the thrilling tasks within the works for the approaching yr, Tasker is at present engaged on one other illustration for Singing Holidays, which plans music-focused excursions round Europe and elsewhere.
She enjoys working with purchasers that present open briefs and lend their full belief. For instance, Singing Holidays offers her “the space to really experiment with my work and create images that are mostly self initiated, while still having some parameters or starting points to work within—which is my favourite type of commission and when I feel most creative,” she says.
Prints and calendars can be found in Tasker’s on-line store, and you’ll discover extra work on each her web site and Instagram.
