Riso Art Print - Joe O'Donnell - Nine Birds

Joe O'Donnell is not here to give us 100% pure reality. Instead, he transports us into his own world, where pixels take on body and painting is digitized on the facade. Impressionism 2.0, one could say, as the works offered by the Mancunian illustrator ask the viewer to refocus, to fill in the corners, to have the image in its entirety. And beyond the graphic force that strikes us at first glance, the charm of his animal subjects caresses with its simplicity. A dog here, a rooster there, isn't all the candor in the world coming to us through the hand of Joe O'Donnell? A beatific smile, in any case, appears as if it were obvious on the face of the one who looks at his work.
