Sexy and somewhat freaky drawings by Bernharda Xilko

Words by Liv Siddall, Friday 17 April 2015

Excuse the pun, but I’m a sucker for penis drawings. Birthday cards, desks, walls, Post-Its, other people’s books, car windscreens: to me the world is but a canvas for penile artwork. Judging by his startlingly extensive back catalogue of sexually charged, penis-infused illustrations, it seems Belgrade-based artist Bernharda Xilko is on the same page. His style is in the same camp as people like Patrick Kyle and Paul Paetzel but comes with a side order of terror, penetration and science fiction. For me, I like the depth of his one-panel cartoons, and how you can stare at it for a while like a saucy magic eye painting, and keep finding things you had missed first time around.

Work / Illustration Ailsa Johnson’s illustrations draw on the everyday magic of Japanese culture

Ailsa Johnson has been living in Japan for a couple of years now, and the culture has seeped into her illustrations. Hints of exotic foods, prawns and street vendors, rice and chopsticks, oriental reds and greens, dragons, birds and temples permeate her work. They have strong Asian influences, not only in content but also in style.

Work / Illustration Jiye Kim's latest illustrations shed light on the details of ordinary life

To be honest with you, there was a moment when we came across illustrator Jiye Kim, as part of last year’s Graduates, where members of our team were jumping up and down with excitement. A year later, and since relocating from London back to her home of Seoul, Jiye’s practice has expanded considerably, from the tiniest detailed comic strips into more free-flowing illustrative figures; but with all the charm that made us fall head over heels for her in the first place.

Regulars / The Graduates 2018 Illustration graduate Alva Skog's energetic practice is rooted in female empowerment

Illustration has always been a way for Alva Skog to communicate and express herself, “I can’t remember a time when I didn’t draw” she tells It’s Nice That. “Whenever someone had a birthday in my family, I drew a family portrait. I still do.” After a two-year art course in Sweden (where she is originally from), Alva headed to Central Saint Martins where, despite studying Graphic Design, she kept coming back to illustration, along with a brief interlude into animation.

Regulars / The Graduates 2018 Jackson Joyce's melancholic illustrations inspired by childhood nostalgia

Louisana-born illustration graduate Jackson Joyce claims he spends most of his time stuck in his head. A thinker that illustrates the daydreamer, he captures characters gazing melancholically into the distance. Be it from painting in coffee shops, on aeroplanes or in the studio, Jackson’s illustrations play with proportion and mood; their cool colour tones, soft shadows and sad, dark eyes create strange and foreboding narratives.

Work / Photography Photographer Ellius Grace captures the ghostly churches of Ireland and the figures that haunt them

Photographer Ellius Grace has always been interested in art and creating visuals – “I used to doodle a lot in school and I was always taking photos on our family point and shoot” he tells It’s Nice That – but he only really got into photography when his Dad bought a DSLR. “I used to steal it away and take photos around the house, and eventually started taking it to school to photograph friends. It was enthralling” he recalls, “and I loved doing it so much, that it kind of took over and replaced everything else.”

Work / Art William Farr’s floral sculptures are a celebration of ephemera and controlled chaos

Multidisciplinary artist William Farr works with found objects, both natural and manmade, on sculptures, sets and installations, which – although shifting in scale and materials – have a constant thread of controlled chaos. He allows chance encounters and plant lifespans to lead his process. In his installations, each element is abstracted from its original form and purpose – there are empty bottles of Cherry B, neon bulbs, plug sockets, plastic tubing, chicken wire, rocks, leaves, branches and flowers – wrapped around each other, suspended and occasionally set on fire.

Work / Graphic Design George Fletcher's typeface Hinault, inspired by 1980s cycling, is full of character and detail

It was during his final year of Glasgow School of Art’s (GSA) communication design course that George Fletcher took “a significant interest in the technicalities of typography”. Originally from Hampshire and now a recent graduate of the course, George’s portfolio is a technically apt one, where analogue typography and digital processes collide.

Work / Photography Ricardo Nagaoka's Eden Within Eden is a purgatorial portrait of Portland

“People tend to be more open than you might be led to believe,” says Ricardo Nagaoka. “I strongly believe in photography’s capacity to find empathy through this glimpse into someone’s world, one that you might not be privy to or have not paid attention to in the past.”

Work / Photography Remember the pre-stage nerves and backstage stress in Alexander Coggin's photos of children's theatre

We all remember the stress of being in a production as a child. The fear of stumbling on stage as the Angel Gabriel in your school’s nativity or of stumbling over your words as Sandy in Grease at the local community centre. Hideously embarrassing as the tapes may be, these experiences provide many of us with fond memories, not to mention a good laugh every Christmas. It’s these times spent being pushed and pulled around by parents, spending days upon days with your friends at rehearsals which have formed the premise of London-based photographer Alexander Coggin’s latest project.

Work / Events Books From the Future talk us through its workshop on disaster in contemporary culture

Based in London, Books From the Future is the collaborative practice of Joshua Trees and Yvan Martinez. The duo work at the intersection of research, education and publishing, using BFTF as a means to explore the models used to structure contemporary art and design education that are “no longer relevant yet have become so institutionalised and internalised that alternatives can seem wildly idealistic and unrealistic by comparison.”

Work / Art Molly Bounds paints intimate moments of quiet contemplation

Molly Bounds is an American artist who paints stolen, secret moments of quiet contemplation. We’ve all been there, lost in thought, losing minutes of the day staring out the window or more usually at the bedroom wall. Molly wants to capture these ordinary moments, enchanted by the familiar but often forgotten parts of the everyday.

Work / Photography Girma Berta authentically captures the people of Addis Ababa with an iPhone

Girma Berta is a self-taught photographer who shoots his images on an iPhone. His vibrant, painterly work documents his hometown, Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. The artist has been working as a graphic designer for some time while painting on the side, and both those mediums have seeped into his photographic work. In his project Moving Shadows I + II, we see masterful, cut-out individuals isolated stylishly on a bold and colourful background.

Lukasz Rusznica was invited to Japan as part of the European Eyes on Japan initiative. He had to document one prefecture, the Kagawa province. Before he journeyed there, he feasted himself on Japanese aesthetics, becoming fixated on the images of the Yōkai, a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons in Japanese folklore.

The result of his journey to Muscat, Oman, XO attempts to change public opinion, uncovering a country in a positive light, both aesthetically and figuratively.

The imaginative ice cream focused mind of chef Kitty Travers, the founder of La Grotta Ices based in London, never holds back on concept or flavour. Vanilla plum? Yes. Tiny apricots filled with almond ice cream? Yes. Banana, brown sugar and rum? Yes, yes, yes. So, when it came to releasing a book of Kitty pulled together an absolute dream team, bringing on board still life photographer Grant Cornett to take the snaps and Studio Frith to design it, taking it to her publishers Square Peg Books who couldn’t resist.

Work / Photography Dan Wood’s photography project, Gap in the Hedge, immortalises a childhood journey

Becoming a father made Dan Wood aware of his own ending. “I’m always looking to immortalise things”, he says, “mostly using photography. I have a fear of things being lost or forgotten”. His ongoing project Gap in the Hedge is a touching defence of the sentimental, nostalgically reflecting on a journey that he used to make with his mother as a child, and still does today.

In September 2017, the Royal College of Art (RCA) opened its new campus in London’s White City and with it, a host of new students experienced a shift in their education. Seeking ways to engage with their new environment, second-year MA Critical Writing in Art and Design students have produced Propland. A collaborative publication, the project is a reaction to their new home sharing a space with the BBC Television Centre (TVC), and showcases alternative narratives of the TVC in a series of essays and creative writing segments.

Simen Røyseland fell into graphic design a bit later than most, finishing his BA after he’d turned 30. What began as a passion for doodling on high school textbooks became something more, and now the self-professed “easily-bored guy” is producing work that is witty, profound and comical.

Work / Animation Opposites attract in Harry Butt and Nicole Ginelli's collaborative video, animated in two halves

When Harry Butt (of Butt Studio) was briefed by Warner Music to create an interpretation of Elderbrook’s latest single Capricorn to the theme of “opposites attract” he decided on a process, not a visual, to do so. Created in collaboration with designer, illustrator and animator Nicole Ginelli, the video is split in two: the left half created by Harry and the right by Nicole. The result is a video which truly encapsulates the song’s concept, each side working with and against each other.

Children love creating miniature worlds. From putzing about with dollhouses to long days at Legoland, these tiny creations allowed us to be kings of our own castle. Like Peter Pan, creative duo Aleia Murawski and Sam Copeland hold onto an essential aspect of childhood — play. The miniatures the duo creates are so intricate in detail that if it wasn’t for the mammoth snails that occupy them, you’d believe they were real.
