Ornate Female Profiles (UPDATE)

Ross McEwan Illustrates Sultry Visages of Beautiful Ladies

— December 28, 2011 — Art & Design
It’s hard not to be in awe of these detailed Ross McEwan illustrations of female profiles. The beautiful faces themselves are enough to warrant viewers’ attention, but McEwan also integrates floral motifs into each subject’s hair, elevating the sophistication and overall appeal of his work. His choice of rendering each piece with limited colors also creates a somber atmosphere and, when coupled with the various expressions on each woman’s face, viewers can’t help but conjure sordid narratives to go along with each illustration.

Ross McEwan is a Manchester-based artist whose work is regularly found within the fashion, music and print industries. His images are rendered realistic, though his concepts are usually imaginative. What this amounts to is a surreal viewing experience for fans as the real world and fictional world collide harmoniously in his images.
Trend Themes
1. Floral Female Profiles - Ross McEwan's use of floral motifs integrated into female profiles presents an opportunity for floral and portrait photography companies to collaborate and create unique works of art.
2. Limited Color Palette Illustrations - McEwan's choice to render each piece with a limited color palette creates a unique and somber atmosphere, presenting an opportunity for companies in the interior design and home decor industries to incorporate similar techniques in their products and designs.
3. Realistic Yet Imaginative Concepts - McEwan's ability to blend real world and fictional world concepts harmoniously in his images presents an opportunity for movie and video game industries to collaborate with abstract artists in creating innovative and captivating visual content.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Art and design companies can explore avenues of collaboration with McEwan to create more innovative and captivating works of art.
2. Fashion and Beauty - Fashion and beauty companies can utilize McEwan's illustrations in their campaigns and collaborate to create unique product lines that incorporate similar floral motifs.
