Art Noveau-inspired illustrator Echo Chernik has recently completed a portrait of Tara Cadmus, owner of New York luxury chocolate shop Oh Pour L'Amour Du Chocolat. It's now hanging as a 36-inch framed print in the store, as well as being used on posters, tags and stickers.
"I had a vision of a beautiful art nouveau woman, standing with her hip perched impossibly far out," says Echo. "She wears gold decorative belts, to which is attached a steampunk-inspired tray bearing chocolates. I've been sketching a lot of chandelier designs lately, and decided to incorporate this into the tray. The joy about such a piece is the 'suspension of disbelief' which comes along with enjoying the image. Of course, if she were to move or stand upright, the tray would tumble. I love this 'living statuary' effect to the woman."
