There’s something very disturbing about John Holcroft’s work, but in a very good way. Checking out his cool drawings, you can’t help but feel as if you’re seeing something forbidden. The fragility of the system, the obscurity of your career; the lack of romance in today’s world. The characters’ passions are their torture and there’s only one way out – embracing the absurdity of the modern world. Working from a studio near Sheffield, UK, Holcroft manages to connect two completely different eras. Drawing inspiration from 1950s screen print posters, he creates satirical illustrations that deliver a great social commentary on the things that are wrong with our society.
