Diego Soprana Gets Glamorous
The newest work from 2DM’s Diego Soprana is a surprising departure from his norm. Usually a maker of rigorous and surrealist imagery, the young illustrator has never ceased to amaze us. But these understated and very elegant images highlight his versatility as an artist and demonstrate his breadth of talent.
With this additional direction, he displays an uncanny sensitivity – something that his usual subversive collage work does in an entirely different way. From the Dior chemise, to the Chanel perfume and sophisticated silhouettes, these are pure style. They are filled with midcentury glamour, solid colour palates, imperfect brush strokes and delicate proportions. Think early motion picture animation. Think Mad Men. Nights out on the town captured in Kodachrome. You can almost see them in a 1960 Bergdorf Goodman window…
