Gabriellas Resa
09.09.23
I met Tove Hennix in Summer 2006 when she came to Tokyo to exhibit the illustrations for the story “Gabriellas Resa” at the Wall Gallery Omotesando. The exhibition called “Dust” was based on a book written by Elisabeth Hagborg, the theme was a story about having the courage to rid yourself of your own worst nightmares.
That time I was the artdirecting for the Design Tshirt stores graniph and we bought the title page for a T-shirt design. The T-shirt was sold out within a few weeks and as a bestseller it got re-released twice!! The book wasn’t published in 2006 yet, but the bestselling T-design and the success of Tove’s first exhibition in Tokyo was a proof that her special “papercut-look” suits the taste of the international audience.
Gabriellas Resa is NOW finally avaliable in Swedish (!) and can be ordered at Krammarkt Bookclub.
