The snow white, the hunters, the disappeared, the noisy, the gigantic, the nervous, the endangered... What a very personal way to classify animals. Adrienne’s work is as much a scientific research than a titanic process of colouring. Proof of this is that the illustrator looked at the case of her 216 pages encyclopedia for a year-long. Patchwork of tints or gradations, she stages with humour, and in her own way, many and varied animals in their natural environment: from the leopard lounging on a branch to the smiling hippopotamus on the bottom of the water or the worried owl into the dark night.
A beautiful piece of work that reminds one of the encyclopedias of yesteryear, but in a much more funny way...
