Swarlic - Jonas Loose

A mute swan's head and neck rise out of a garlic bulb, the papery white skin standing in for feathers, and two grey webbed feet carry the whole thing across a plain cream ground. The light and the cast shadow are photographic, which is what makes the join between bird and bulb hard to argue with. SWARLIC is set in small serif capitals underneath.

A photographic collage, seamlessly retouched and printed flat against its pale ground. Jonas Loose is an artist and designer from Hamburg who mixes vintage imagery with bold colour, typography and humour. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
