At the time I was researching what was moving on in the landscape of typography. I scoured the internet looking for interesting alternatives to display an alphabet. The very first time I came into contact with graphic work by Malika Favre was in 2010. Her images lead the viewer’s eye around, and in a way, they all tell a story, mostly about women. Meet the illustrator behind the seamless illustrations which are not only physically beautiful, but also touched with intellect and wit. The use of positive and negative space plus colour creates a strong visual aesthetic that has established her as one of the most sought after graphic artists. A sort of time machine made of lines and counter-forms where simplicity reigns supreme. Clear flat tints, asserted like an encounter between Pop Art and Op Art, two movements that evoke the sixties. When we set eyes on the creations of Malika Favre, it’s as if our entire imagination has been seized by a spiral of colours and patterns. Her work is incredibly popular, largely due to its instantly recognisable style that sees her create beautifully bold vector illustrations with her unique skill at the art of simplifying down an image to its bare essentials. Malika Favre (1982) is a French Algerian artist who needs little introduction.
