Gwenola Carrere
Gwenola Carrere is an illustrator from Brussels, Belgium. She creates intricate and playfully crafted images. Some of my favorite works of hers are from a series of illustrations for Revue Dada titled “Made in Russia”. Influenced from 1920s & 30s Soviet illustration, she borrows attributes from this period while adding a bit of her own contemporary European twist.

Love the last few images especially, they remind me very much of the graphics for Russian Toys etc you find on matchboxes, stamps etc.

Yes, Isiria! It remind me VERY VERY MUCH the graphics of Russian books…
I have that catalogue:
Russian Children’s Picture Books in the 1920s & 1930s edited by Tankosha Publishing co. in 2004. You can take a look in the pages 60-61, for example…
But well, Carrere did a god job anyway…
