Rotkäppchen

  • Rotkäppchen

  • I'd been admiring woodcut illustration for a while and I wanted to try work on something in that style. Rotkäppchen (trans. Redcap) is an early Germanic version of the well known tale 'Little red riding hood'. I like how the piece has an eerie and folksy vibe. The colour red I've chosen for its association with danger and by juxtaposing simplistic shapes with the chosen colour palette, I think it gives the illustration some depth.
    The artwork struck a chord with people and a barrage of requests for prints followed.
    I decided to exhibit the piece at a new Gallery opening where a beautiful reproduction was presented to the Minister of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Mr. Jimmy Deenihan TD. A photo below shows the illustration being handed over by the Gallery owners Leszek and Maureen Wolnik.
