We have a hunch we will be seeing much more of the work by the young, London-based graphic designer and illustrator, Nikki Farquharson.Her ongoing project, Mixed Media Girls, gives the viewer a lot to look at. The collages appear innocent and sweet but at the same time exude sharp, pent-up energy that does not feel altogether safe. The title of the work is also wonderfully suggestive — or not, depending on how the reader wishes to understand it.
Farquharson’s work extends from the one-dimensional world to book projects and 3D pieces in which she often ponders and twists the meaning of words and proverbs, spies on conversations, and questions established truths.In 2007, she started the website Random Got Beautiful that is open for anyone to submit images focused on a specific color.
Farquharson’s work was on display in September in Helsinki at the YCN Alive exhibit hosted by the Helsinki-based agency Kokoro & Moi.
