This is my favourite illustration piece from the V&A Illustration Awards exhibition. This piece is a part of a collection called The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories. It's my favourite due to the idea it portrays. I love the way that there is a faint portrait in the background which the women holding the bars has 'come out of'. The different tones of paint colour suggests that the women has come out of the painting and brought to life, but as she cant realistically come out of the painting, it's as if she is trapped in the painting, like someone in jail behind bars.
The illustrator of this painting has quoted 'As part of my final year negotiated illustration programme, I created illustrations to the brief set by the House of Illustration competition - illustrating three of the short stories from Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber. The three images depict scenes or quotes from The Bloody Chamber, Puss-in-Boots and The Company of Wolves.'
