✨ Intergalactic Ark of Music (2019) ✨ - Dries Peeten
In this new series of illustrations, I hypothetically asked myself: who would I take on my ‘intergalactic’ ark if our planet was doomed to collapse? Which artists made a memorable impression? I ‘d offer them a seat in my spaceship and we’d leave on an interstellar survival trip, destination unknown.
With subtle lines on soft coloured backgrounds I drew musicians who have left a mark on the music scene and, moreover, impress(ed) on stage. None of them can be caught in one single pose, but I portrayed them in that typically iconic posture that’s in our collective mind forever, burnt like a constellation on a sky map.
My ark has no limits: there is place for artists of all genres, with an impressive stage personality and a strong musical identity as a common thread.
Welcome to my Intergalactic Ark of Music. Who’s in?
