Folkish

£32.00

Despite what society says, humans were born to create and have been doing so since ancient times. Starting with cave paintings, people have documented their heritage and culture regardless of geography, as seen in intricate Indian miniature paintings, awe-inspiring African mural masterpieces, delicate Nordic stone and wood carvings, and dreamy Chinese ink wash landscapes. ‘Folkish’ collates a resurgence of old folk tales and traditions through the contemporary brushstrokes of artists who seamlessly blend the old with the new.

Folkish collates a resurgence of old folk tales and traditions through the contemporary brushstrokes of artists who seamlessly blend the old with the new.

Despite what society says, humans were born to create and have been doing so since ancient times. Starting with cave paintings, people have documented their heritage and culture regardless of geography, as seen in intricate Indian miniature paintings, awe-inspiring African mural masterpieces, delicate Nordic stone and wood carvings, and dreamy Chinese ink wash landscapes.

Just like its design and branding-focused sister title New Folk Art, Folkish collates a resurgence of old folk tales and traditions through the contemporary brushstrokes of artists who seamlessly blend the old with the new, weaving a new visual tapestry that not only preserves our roots, but also reshapes the vibrant mosaic that is our collective artistic heritage for the future.
