Unsettling Surrealist Illustrations

Sabo Eleanor Draws Wacky and Memorable Portraits

— July 4, 2011 — Art & Design
One look at Sabo Eleanor's selected portfolio is like taking a look into the mind of an illustrator with a twisted sense of a humor and a penchant for mixing the reality of the everyday with fantastical elements.

Sabo Eleanor hails from Moorestown, New Jersey and is a 2010 graduate of Boston University's Painting program. Her collection of illustrations run the gamut from an understated self-portrait to a disturbing shot of an Abu Gharib-like prisoner covered and bound next to a painting and some cats, to a truly unsettling surrealist image of foot/leg/knee/arm combination connecting with another to form a hand-shaped heart.

If Sabo Eleanor's small but deftly drawn portfolio is any indication, her future is extremely bright. Sabo Eleanor currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
