Célestin Krier
New Sumer, finding new archaism

Exploration

Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
Those drawings are attempts to find with new tools and new shape the beauty and the brutality of some very old images and styles. For this particular selection i was inspired by Mesopotamian and Sumerian low-relief. Those antique figures are one of my first memories as a child linked to art and images, my father who is an archeologist led me to the Louvre museum to take a look at those old picture

How was the illustration used:
I drew them for myself, but then they brought me some work to do in the same style, and and i sold some prints of them.

How did you make this work:
They are digital drawings, directly done on photoshop, making my own brush style to built this textured ow-relief illusion.
