Illustrator Madeline Kloepper explores the relationships we forge with nature through her gorgeous and alluring paintings. The works have elements of surrealism as dragons, dancing bears, and larger-than-life birds all make an appearance.
I really enjoy Madeline’s more detailed compositions, specifically the ones featuring a quilted blanket fort and clothes line. The heavily-patterned textiles tell us a lot, like characters’ personality and their aesthetic preferences. In addition, we understand more about the characters in how they interact with these objects. Here, it communicates a reverence for simpler times that are away from screens and stresses of everyday life.
