Joanna Concejo - The Persuasively Eerie Illustrator

Joanna Concejo

Joanna Concejo is a French Illustrator.  She uses a mass armory of multiple mediums to express conventional ideas through her work. In her works, the mediums are applied to large blank canvases.  Most of the space in the canvas is left blank – this creates an ambulatory scene of eeriness and creepiness.

The negative space of the backgrounds accompanied by the textured forms of the characters combine to wash over the viewers of Concejo’s work with an uncomfortable awe – a curious appetite to learn more about the work, yet a creeping caution to not become enamored with the work’s perversity.  The simplicity accompanied by the strange discomfort of Concejo’s works attracts people immediately. It is almost like an intellectual, masochistic need to understand the complex simplicities of her work. Overall, Concepjo utilizes all of the aspects of her pieces to compile a persuasive, artistic argument.
