Gabor Palotai - ZOO

Gabor Palotai displays a different take on the depictions of animals as figurative illustrations; every animal is portrayed as an abstract artwork, sharply outlined in contrast with mesmerizing duotone patterns. The effects of this white and black pattern enhance the impression that each animal is etched into the paper evoking a tactile sensibility. At the same glance each animal looks bound to the architectural outer shape of their image, their bodies are tattooed in undecipherable graphic patterns suggesting that each of them is free from within to multiply and literally take on any figurative meaning.
