Steph von Reiswitz's haunted world
Share
This pictorial ink work from illustrator Steph von Reiswitz accompanies a narrative also penned by the artist assuming the disappearance of a mansion owner.
The Stone Raspberry
With a nod to the fin-de-siècle the stage is set for private investigator Niobe Axe to look at hauntings amidst the decadent shambles of a house gone to seed.
The Stone Raspberry
The style perhaps owes something to the spirit of Sir John Tennial’s Alice In Wonderland illustrations.

In fact this is begging to be made into a children’s book, but as it stands it will be an exhibition entitled The Stone Raspberry.

The ghostly pallor of Reiswitz’s characters, including lewd maids and a drunk gardener, are offset by a murky backdrop of grey dereliction.
Postcards From Hell
Meanwhile Postcards From Hell, by the same artist will be exhibited alongside, and imagine in the most literal way, postcards from hell. Devilry and tourism abound in a world of primary colours.
Postcards From Hell
The Stone Raspberry runs from 16 November – 1 December at Material, 3 Rivington Street, EC2.
