Mermaid by Aleksandr Petrov
Posted by Fabio 8 June 2011
Aleksandr Petrov’s style from the late 1980s onward can be characterized as a type of Romantic realism. People, animals and landscapes are painted and animated in a very realistic fashion, but there are many sections in his films where Petrov attempts to depict a character’s inner thoughts and dreams. Mermaid was nominated for an OSCAR in 1998 for Best Animated Short Film.

Jen Stark’s kaleidoscopic artwork brings to mind fractals, rainbows, geodes and topographic maps. Using her vivid imagination and an X-acto knife, she is a modern day magician who transforms humble materials like construction paper and glue into fantastic, intricate sculptures that mesmerize the eye.
