"GEOMETRY OF NONSENSE"

The Geometry of Nonsense: an exhibition of drawings and etchings by Yuri Vashenko, Russia’s leading illustrator of Alice in Wonderland, and Alice Through the Looking Glass responding to the original illustrations for both books, by John Tenniel.

Artist and anglophile Yuri Vashenko describes the works as a 'graphic commentary' to Tenniel's illustrations that were created in close collaboration with Lewis Carroll. In these works, Vashenko reveals some of the geometry latent but invisible in the original drawings, and introduces his own. Vashenko illustrated Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass for a celebrated Russian edition in 1982 and 1986 that have since been reprinted. He has also illustrated Logical Game and Philosophical Alice.
