Juicy by Florent Bodart Hiroaki Takahashi Zoo Tierpark Berlin Lion is

Zoo Tierpark Berlin Lion is a commanding piece of vintage poster art

It is intimate in scale but monumental in execution

playing off the solidity of the figure and amplifying the sense of personality

industrial reference against something more intuitive and inward

the delicate tonal graduation of Hasui's woodblock technique — the soft atmospheric sky

Juicy by Florent Bodart Hiroaki Takahashi Zoo Tierpark Berlin Lion isJuicy takes Florent Bodart's characteristic playfulness and trains it on the natural world ripe fruit and lush foliage arranged with a sense of barely contained abundance. The composition tilts between illustration and still life, the forms loose enough to feel hand drawn yet precise enough to read as considered design. Bodart's hybrid process drawing and painting before digital refinement gives the work a tactile warmth beneath its graphic surface.
