Lust for Life has a reputation of nabbing the work of Brisbane’s most interesting illustrators and placing it nicely on their walls, and their latest exhibition showcases the elaborate and skilful work of Tiffany Atkin. With Gyaru, she explores the concepts and representations of femininity within Japanese culture.
Having openly admitted to being obsessed with Japan, Atkin describes this exhibition as “Japanfluenced pop illustration with bite.” Think big colours, delicate illustration and lines and patterns that make everything just pop. Atkin’s a bit of a local illustration superstar, and there’s a high chance you’ve already seen her work in action — she designed the logo for West End bar Bosc, does branding for Joyero Jewellry and has work show up every so often in various magazines.
