TOBIE GIDDIO

        

             Tobie Giddio was born in 1963, New Jersey, USA. She studied fashion illustration at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. After her graduation in 1986 with a BFA in illustration, she began to teach in the illustration department of F.I.T. She also began her career with creating weekly advertisements in New York Times for Bergdorf Goodman. As she discovered her primary medium that was to inform her work to the present, which was ink, then she added a liquid form as she never felt satisfied with it. With the layering of colour transparent pantone films she had found the ability to expand in a way that brought endless possibilities while maintaining the structure of her ink drawings.

       

Her elegant abstract and organic figures are created with Sumi ink, watercolours, and Pantone film which described her work as being 'very internal and beyond surface'. Her amazing works has appeared in numerous publications, including George, Glamour, Harpers Bazaar, Interview, Manhattan File, Marie Claire, Mode, The New Yorker and various editions of Vogue.

''Fine art and fashion coexist simultaneously and equally. There is an understanding. each is in constant service to the other in a quest to express in the most extraordinary way possible.'' - Tobie Giddio

This work is done by ink.

Dots of inks as the bottom dress, and the thick and thin lines create volume on the skirt with either smooth texture (leaves) and stiff texture (twigs).

It's like seeing the magic of colours and lines. This feminine illustration in ink and Pantone film gives a moody heroines and glamour sense.

The process of abstracting and deconstructing creates a form of beauty and balance here. No words can describe this artworks as it's too awesome.
