{"product_id":"sketching-barcelona-by-lapin-hardcover","title":"Sketching Barcelona - by Lapin - Hardcover","description":"A visual diary of Barcelona, a real treat for sketchers and lovers of the city.Inspiration is everywhere, in all instances of city life. In this visual diary of Barcelona, a real treat for sketchers and lovers of the Catalan capital, urban sketcher Lapin creates a graphic narrative of his metropolitan surroundings to communicate a highly expressive and deeply personal vision of the city. Using vintage accounting books that he finds in flea markets, Lapin, armed with nothing more than a sketchbook, a fine liner pen, watercolor paints and his folding stool, depicts the images and phenomena of everyday city life - busy streets, bustling cafes, iconic monuments, graffiti-splashed walls, sidewalks thick with people. A sketching technique that pays meticulous attention to detail, his particular use of color and striking und humorous perspective distortions define Lapin's journalistic-like visual style. Telling evocative stories through his drawings, he also provides a fresh look at some of the urban transformations the city is currently undergoing, including green hubs and squares, parks and gardens. The artist defines himself as a \"mobile illustrator\", a kind of modern-day itinerant urban explorer and documentarian who immerses himself in his environment (in this case, Barcelona) and records what he sees. The result is a graphic reportage of the city's culture, from its emblematic architecture down to the ornamental concrete slabs used to pave many of its sidewalks and nearly everything else in between.\u003cbr\u003ePUBLISHER:\u003cbr\u003ePromo Press \/ Hoaki\u003cbr\u003eAUTHOR:\u003cbr\u003eLapin\u003cbr\u003eBIND:\u003cbr\u003ehardback\u003cbr\u003ePAGES:\u003cbr\u003e144\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003cbr\u003e210 x 155 mm","brand":"NATIONWIDE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41798045466757,"sku":"PR427211","price":67.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/volts9788419220493_0_TSM6UD04L25Y.jpg?v=1786164751","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/sketching-barcelona-by-lapin-hardcover","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
