Recumbent Cowgirl by KISSI USSUKI

About the artwork:

How do you find common ground between abstract sculpture and classic Western cinema? Well, Kissi did the impossible. Inspired by the organic body form from art master Henry Moore’s 'Recumbent Figure' sculpture and the wild spirit of Western films, Kissi blends them together with her signature element of playfulness. She seamlessly fuses these inspirations by incorporating bright orange and vivid fluorescent pink into this Risograph print, adding her characteristic playful touch.

About the artist:

Kissi Ussuki is a freelance illustrator based in Vilnius, Lithuania. She likes to draw faces, hands and other body parts, and she likes surreal and absurd compositions. Especially if they are pink. Aside from drawing and painting, she is also a photographer, art director and graphic designer.

Her creative process is deeply influenced by a fascination with human flaws and the rejection of conventional beauty standards. Ussuki finds inspiration in the unique and often overlooked aspects of individuals, which she considers much more interesting than traditional notions of beauty. This perspective is evident in her work, which often features characters with exaggerated, unconventional features, imbued with a sense of humor and an appreciation for the absurd.
