LIFE IS OVER THE MOON
April 22 – May 27, 2023

James Hewitt

This series presents a reversion of Americana employing a pared down aesthetic of traditional animation, illustration and advertising, advancing stylistic tropes embedded in the historic canons of Art and Illustration. Thoughtful and sensitive pairing and grouping of characters reveals a unique narrative of a tense situation, turned soft and playful, stylistically. Cute fictions are achieved and provide a stage for magic.
