The gigantic party that contains a thousand layers of drunken debauchery

Sanda Anderlon is a visual artist and illustrator from Croatia who loves to make both static and animated works, ranging in style - from metaphorical eye-candies, childish cartoons or old-school pen on paper studies to extra large, collaged and narrative visual feasts.

With this particular giant print, entitled The Party – which we've split down into separate artworks to show you the detail – Anderlon depicts a large gathering turning into a drunken jungle as the sun starts to rise. A colourful mashup, containing over a thousand layers, it's a light satirical study of human behaviour, spiced up with metaphors and hyperbolas here and there.

She explained: "I tend to blend vintage ephemera with evergreen human sentiments in portraying old and instant friendships, introverts and extroverts, soulmates and love affairs."
