FOLKLORE BUNDLE
New Folk Art + Folkish
ABOUT NEW FOLK ART
It is human nature to look to the past when seeking inspiration — particularly in art. Unlike other genres that can be attributed to a specific era or style, folk art is harder to define or categorise due to its special place in the hearts of local communities. Although it used to be created for practical purposes, each piece tells a story of cultural heritage and craftsmanship that transcends time to inspire the creatives of today.
NEW FOLK ART features a colourful collection of work from around the world that draw from ancient folklore and traditional craft, and breathe new life into tales that have been passed down the generations.
ABOUT FOLKISH
Despite what society says, humans were born to create and have been doing so since ancient times. Starting with cave paintings, people have documented their heritage and culture regardless of geography, as seen in intricate Indian miniature paintings, awe-inspiring African mural masterpieces, delicate Nordic stone and wood carvings, and dreamy Chinese ink wash landscapes.
Just like its design and branding-focused sister title NEW FOLK ART, FOLKISH collates a resurgence of old folk tales and traditions through the contemporary brushstrokes of artists who seamlessly blend the old with the new, weaving a new visual tapestry that not only preserves our roots, but also reshapes the vibrant mosaic that is our collective artistic heritage for the future.
