A Little Film About… Malika Favre

A Little Film About... Malika Favre from Handsome Frank on Vimeo.

Malika Favre is an artist who needs little introduction. Her instantly recognisable style sees her create beautifully bold vector illustrations which simplify down her subjects their bear essentials. Her work has adorned billboards, magazines and book covers the world over and her recent collaborations with the New Yorker magazine have raised her profile yet further and seen a whole new audience discover her incredible work.

Rigoberto González - The Strangers Who Find Me in the Woods

               after Thomas James

 

The strangers in the woods must mimic squirrels and crackle 

with the undergrowth. They must not flinch at the cruelty 

of breaking golden leaves with their feet, or of interring stones. 

And like any of these deciduous trees in autumn they must be 

 

stingy with shadow and move deceptively across the sludge. 

I listen to these strangers stirring with the evenings. I invent paths 

for them to the soft edge of the lake. Each descent is as graceful 

as a sink...

Lie to me. Engañame.

Johnny - How many men have you forgotten?
Vienna - As many women as you've remembered.
Johnny - Don't go away.
Vienna - I haven't moved.
Johnny - Tell me something nice.
Vienna - Sure. What do you want to hear?
Johnny - Lie to me. Tell me all these years you've waited...
Vienna - All these years I've waited.
Johnny - Tell me you'd have died if I hadn't come back.
Vienna - I would have died if you hadn't come back.

Vienna - I still love you like you l...

Thom Gunn - In Trust

            You go from me

        In June for months on end

    To study equanimity

         Among high trees alone;

     I go out with a new boyfriend

And stay all summer in the city where

         Home mostly on my own

         I watch the sunflowers flare.

 

             You travel East

        To help your relatives.

   The rainy season's start, at least,

        Brings you from banishment:

    And from the hall a doorway gives

A glimpse of you, writing I don't know what,

         Throug...

Nuar Alsadir - Fourth Person Singular

Sketch 27

A man entered the subway car at Borough Hall,
was about to sit, but just as his knees began to bend
the train jerked into motion. He stood up, as though
regaining composure after a brief humiliation,
as though it were somehow shameful to be subject
to gravity’s impersonal force, caught
in its grip, an object controlled by physics.

 

 

Sketch 64

Pleasure and disgust, the border of desire, of aesthetics,
where beauty and the uncanny meet—is this the brink
one must always live on, bare...
