Irreverent Reverence from Paul Rogers

Paul Rogers brings a bold, eye-catching anaesthetic to this poster created for Lameece Issaq’s one-woman show, A Good Day to Me, Not to You. Drawing from Issaq’s memories of a midlife crisis and set against the oddly humorous backdrop of a nun-run rooming house, the piece balances sincerity with a subtle sense of irony. Paul’s concept-led approach brings wry wit and reverence in equal measure, resulting in a visually striking and sumptuous illustration
