Having already garnered rave reviews from culture aficionado Michael C Lewin of Notion and everyone's favorite illustrator Quentin Blake, it was only a matter of time before Katherine Hardy hit London with a solo show. And where better than Tenderpixel?
Just as the gallery sits amongst a raft of second-hand bookshops and peculiar bric-a-brac shops, so Hardy's work is strongly influenced by classic novels like Of Mice and Men and Gatsby.
Hardy's works are lightly playful and almost childlike in their simplicity. But beneath the whimsy lies a sense of something darkly sinister: both melancholy and ennui lurk a waitin'.

Tenderpixel is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Royal College Graduate Katherine Hardy.
Introduction From the Tenderpixel Gallery
Featured in this exhibition are a series of illustrations created for a diverse range of novels. Hardy developed an interest for drawing content from mature stories, as these tales allowed for a much different style of illustration than children’s literature. Playful, serious, dark and mysterious, Hardy’s palette and style are offered to Tenderpixel viewers this May. It will truly be an exhibition with many stories to tell.
