Venue :

BIBIANA

This exhibition presents illustrations to three books: Strážca kameňa 1 – V krajine havranov (The Guard of the Rock 1 – In Ravens’ Land); Slovenské povesti (Slovak Myths); and Čerti, bosorky a iné strašidlá (Devils, Witches and Other Scary Creatures). It may be just a coincidence that Svetozár Košický has been invited to illustrate books with mystic or mythic themes but there is no doubt that this genre suits him very well. The power of illustration is boosted also by his techniques such as Indian ink and pen drawing, smudge pen drawing and gouache. The author and his minute detailed drawing style present a uniquely-captured, mysterious and exciting atmosphere for the illustrated stories.
