There will be adventure movies, especially those in which twists unfold under the scorching sun, often in semi-desert places, as in the case of Mad Max 2, from which Scott Balmer takes inspiration to create a two-dimensional illustration and bright metallic colors and Indiana Jones, which the Virginia designer Adam Juresko revisits representing the figure played by Harrison Ford with a “spiritual” aura which brings him to some sort of Lawrence of Arabia. In addition, two adrenalinic and “sunny” works inspired by the adventures of Thelma & Louise – the Milanese illustrator Matteo Costa in a reinterpretation of the film in a “cartoon” key – and Top Gun, a source of inspiration for the Texan Casey Callender in a mixture of cinema and the art of the American painter Edward Hopper.

Always the “summer” setting characterizes some of the films on display, taken from literary works of great success, for the series “great classics to re-read under the umbrella: from Dune – whose second chapter is for months in the lead box office – to which the Canadian designer Kris Miklos dedicates a sand-colored portrait of Zendaya in the shoes of Chani, to the “scorching” Lolita, revised by Polish Andrzej Krajewski with an illustration with bright colors and almost expressionist style, up to the blinding Death on the Nile and the initiatory Stand by Me, proposed by Murugiah – illustrator from Sri Lanka – and by House Bear Design – graphic studio located in Arkansas – thanks to works characterized respectively by psychedelic atmospheres.
