Book Crush: Soda Palm Suite

Thursday, March 22, 2012 · 2 Comments

The artwork of the Dutch artist Lotte Geeven is featured in Soda Palm Suite, a blissful book designed by Adriann Mellegers and Karen van de Kraats. I’m drawn to the theme of plants and flowers in Geeven’s work and how they are re-contextualized as graphic, shocking and absurd.

“There are many ways of storytelling; I am researching storytelling with only these background details: the information in between. The way a whole city can unfold from a single detail and a landscape can grow around a single smell… (I’m) creating a net of landmarks… An abstract mental domain where the viewer is left as overwhelmed, unstable or surprised as I was.” – artist statement
