Barandash creates these grotesque yet distinctively pitiful figures I find fascinating. He forms these figures by slashing ink across the page, creating either thin precise lines or bold cuts that give his illustrations a savage feel. I admire his technique greatly.
You can really tell from his work that he has spent hours on end observing and drawing humans. Despite the lack of features and obscure nature of his figures, he has captured human expression and body postures perfectly; this makes it easy for the observer to feel empathy for the creatures and become transfixed with his work.
