merijn hos

Merijn Hos is an artist and illustrator from the Netherlands, he graduated from the Utrecht School of Visual Arts with a B.F.A. in Illustration and has since divided his time between personal projects such as exhibitions and independent publishing, and commercial work.

His body of work is made up of many different mediums, such as collage, computer illustration, video, textiles and often the use of blackboards and marker pens. I am particularly keen on the image below, I think I might try this at home when I buy some nice paper.

I have always been particularly keen on plush toys and these are no exception. Merijn Hos' plushies usually accompany commercial work. I want to make more squishy toys! At some point I'll put up pictures of the ones I made in art foundation I guess, only after I've made some more.

I like how bright and colourful Hos' work is, I also like the fact that quite a lot of it has no meaning behind it at all, which was even embraced in his exhibition "Half of what I do is meaningless" at the Extrabold gallery in Luxembourg.
