Naomi Games and Russell Walker explore Abram Games’s revolutionary use of the airbrush, including a live demonstration.
Naomi Games, daughter of Abram Games, will be joined by award-winning illustrator, designer and educator Russell Walker in this evening focusing on Games’s artistic techniques.
Learn about the history of the airbrush and how Games used this tool to create impactful posters, many of which are on display in our special exhibition, The art of persuasion.
Discover more on the skills and techniques Abram Games used to create tone and structure within his work, including his mixing of colours to make tonal blends, his applied use of inks and gouache, his masking techniques and more.
Abram Games was 'Official War Poster Artist' during the Second World War. Always direct, and occasionally controversial, his posters have left a legacy that continues to influence the art of persuasion used by visual designers today.
