It is definitely worth having a wander though the funky illustration exhibition that’s just been opened at La Viande Gallery, just off Old Street. “Capital letter full stop” is less about grammar, and more about brilliant drawings, collage, painting and mixed media illustrations. The collection of work is inspired on 'sentences', but the content is far from wordy. The six talented illustrators showing their work at the exhibition are clearly experimenting each in their own personal style, hence their varied individual outcomes.

Samuel Bell’s brightly coloured collages are a real treat to the eye, with subtle three-dimensional qualities, beautiful execution and vibrant colours; an amusing sequence illustrates the city adventures of the rainbow-coloured cat. David Callow’s pencil drawings are quite magical in displaying detail and a sense of spontaneity at the same time.

A fun piece of work was the DIY illustration by Holly Leigh Harvey, an interactive illustration where you can pin up the cut-out drawings and coloured shapes on a grid of points; yes we all had a go.

Debbie Powell presented a pretty selection of paintings of New York City; even though the mix of intentionally naïve style and subdued colours is not particularly experimental, in her case it is effective. Omar Hraib’s reworked record sleeves included pencil drawings, paint and ink, all part of a nice pastiche work. Last but not least the other-worldly graphic work of Dan Morison, of spotless finish and full of fun futuristic visions, it’s easy to loose yourself in his visual universes.
