The tagline for this New York Times January 17, 2021 supplement may be “We’re thinking outside the box”, Giacomo Gambineri‘s intricate full page illustration comic seems to be predominantly screaming “We’re not going out”, expressing the melancholic frustration of being stuck inside due to the well-known circumstances, and wondering how things might be different.
A wonderful piece that looks like it has more meanings than it seems on first glance, and that proves Gambineri to clearly be more than just another Chris Ware-like miniaturist.
