London Deco
Age 14+
Comic Strip Fiction / Graphic Novels
Join architectural illustrator Thibaud Herem as on a journey through the streets of London to discover the capital’s most intriguing, striking and elaborate art deco buildings. From imposing Orwellian giants to the hidden jewels of the thirties, Herem takes us on a tour of London’s forgotten Deco landmarks in an art edition of giant proportions.
Each faithfully reproduced facade is accompanied on the reverse by a short passage on the building’s history. This 3 metre-long frieze details 11 of London’s most iconic art deco buildings including: The Hoover Factory, BBC Broadcasting House and Battersea Power Station.
London Deco was drawn in its entirety using a Rotring Rapidograph pen and is lovingly printed on 300gsm uncoated Munken paper stock. No digital processes were used in the creation of the artwork.
