The Enchanted Forest: Celebrating 200 years of Grimm’s Fairy Tales

The Enchanted Forest

Celebrating 200 years of Grimm’s Fairy Tales

Wednesday 28 November – Saturday 8 December

FREE Exhibition

The first ever collection of Grimm’s fairy tales, entitled “Children’s and Household Tales”, was published in December of 1812, and two hundred years later it is still thrilling children and adults alike. To celebrate two hundred years of enchantment and magic; seven young up and coming illustrators will be interpreting these wonderfully dark and mysterious stories into a very special Christmas exhibition at Foyles. With inspiration taken from both the classics, such as Hansel and Gretel, and the less well-known tales like The Golden Bird; this exhibition is about interpreting and re-discovering a cultural legacy that has been with us for 200 years.

The contributing artists include Emma Block, Lesley Barnes, LauraBarrett, Natsuki Otani, Yelena Bryksenkova, Emmeline Pidgen and Karolin Schnoor.

Prepare to be spellbound as you enter The Enchanted Forest.

The Enchanted Forest is grateful to IdeasTap for providing funding through its Ideas Fund for this project.

A bit of news now with Amelia's Magazine illustrators participation in a wonderful charity art auction for Shelter, packed full of life Amelia chose to theme the work around the concept of a safe secure home. So the wonderful illustrators all created their idea of a comforting safe home and the final piece brought together into one home. Amelia Gregory, Lesley Barnes, Emma Block, Yelena Bryksenkova, Natsuki Otani, Antonia Parker and Thereza Rowe collaborated to create the unique piece of artwork in aid of the Up My Street campaign by Shelter.

This month Shelter hosts an exhibition of artwork in the concept of Up My Street at the Coningsby Gallery. Amelia Gregory from Amelia's Magazine commissioned some of the lovely illustrators who were featured in her amazing books, Amelia’s Anthology of Illustration and Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration and we are delighted to have also shared their talents as contributors to Illustration Rally as well.

Book Feature: Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration

It's our great pleasure now to feature this amazing book from Amelia of Amelia's magazine which many of you not only know as the place to find the latest in ethical fashion design but also as many of our readers and contributors have also been featured in her magazine. The book binds together thirty illustrators under the banner of fashion illustration and showcases not only their talent but the talent of a gamut of wonderful fashion designers.

Amelia herself says of the book that it is "A clarion call to listen to and to support all those who inspire change in this world"

And with her beautifully bound book featuring nearly fifty of the best in ethical fashion she can really be comfortable that her showcase is as excellently populated as it is designed. Many of the illustrators featured in the compendium are also regulars here on the rally and its a really positive community that she has given a great deal of support to.

The book itself is beautifully laid out from it's stunning pearlised front cover all the way through to its boxout features laid against vibrant patterns, its as tactile as it is visual. It's great to be able to bring you this feature shortly before her official launch and we will be the first to wish her the best of luck and get behind this driven exciting project.

So a big thanks to Amelia for this fresh and vibrant book, and a big nod to everybody out there that made it happen. With pleasure, it's Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration.
