Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know how much I love David Shrigley’s shrewd, borderline psychotic line-drawn illustrations. And, thanks to Google, my entry on Mia Mäkilä’s haunting paintings is my most popular post by far. Now, imagine these two artists had a hugely talented love child producing similarly demented, unsettling, irreverent and desirable creations. Her name is Lisa Connolly.
Like broken dolls or discarded mannequins (not surprising as she has a background in fashion) her designs bring to mind the Mennyms, rotting corpses, Threads and Roald Dahl’s witches. All that sounds horrible but I find them mesmerisingly beautiful.
