Nomono Illustration
Berlin based illustrator and designer, Cristóbal Schmal, has an impressive collection of work under his moniker Nomono. This particular piece, created for INOPOLIS’s guided tour for the 90th anniversary of Bauhaus, celebrates Berlin as the modern city. The color palette is limited and the imagery is quite striking. I really love the rough textures and geometrical figures in this illustration, especially the red ray emanating from the foreseeing eye.
Schmal’s work has a nice range, from editorial illustrations to book covers and prints. See more of his work at his website and be sure to check out his flickr for even more goodies!

Wonderful colours & great texture. The designs are very impressive because they are, at the same time, very cohesive yet emphasising the originality of each work. I really like it.

I am in LOVE! Gorgeous illustrations, and I’m loving the sparing use of colors in book covers – effective and striking.

So, this reminds me of Juan Miro. Also, Ben Shahn. I saw an original poster of his at http://www.abodeon.com a couple months ago. It’s not listed anymore, but they often have good modern art at their shop in Cambridge, Ma.
