Juxtapoz Illustration

by R. Rock Enterprises (Contributor)

Juxtapoz Art and Culture magazine was established by California artist Robert Williams in 1994 to document an exploding art movement emanating largely from the West Coast of the United States. In the intervening years, this movement has gone global and Juxtapoz has rebranded and reimagined itself to better represent a generation of artists intent on working outside the ossified art establishment. In this first volume, Juxtapoz Illustration, artists such as MODE 2, Grotesk, KozynDan, Mike Giant, James Jean, Evan Hecox, Alex Pardee, Jeremy Fish and Morning Breath are briefly profiled and then allowed the space to let their work do the talking. While all of the artists featured in this volume have experienced professional success and artistic accolades, they remain accessible to the commercial client and art collector alike representing this phenomenal modern movement perfectly.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality and creativity of work showcased.

This book has no theme. The art is diverse, random and unexpected. I'm not sure if the illustrations have appeared in the Juxtapoz magazine. At 192 pages, the book is filled with beautiful illustrations created with different mediums, digital, traditional, collage, ink.

I would recommend this for those who are looking for a bit of inspiration. For even more inspiration, check out www.juxtapoz.com.

As far as reading, there is an introduction and quick blurbs before each section to talk about the artists. Other than that, it's page after page of art. Wonderful! There's a section at the end of the book listing the websites for the artists included in the book so you can check out more of their work. Good stuff.
