Minneapolis-based
illustrator/designer Sean Tubridy knows the meaning of the phrase,
"they don’t make ‘em like they used to."
Although we may feel fortunate to live in the age of the iPod,
this nation’s true golden era of design occupied the middle
of the last century. The Art of Objects extended from big-ticket
items like cars and furniture, all the way down to chrome kitchen
appliances and transistor radios. It was a sleek, optimistic time;
an age of robots, space needles and ‘Houses of the future.’
Sean’s colorful portrayals carry a warm fondness for these
objects and the attitudes behind them, while subtly nodding to
the technologies that would succeed them. |
