The first of a series of exhibitions dedicated to some of the most interesting contemporary illustrators and designers in the Italian and international scenery.

Andy Ward, the renowned english illustrator who has collaborated with important American and British newspapers and magazines, is the first guest in the new Milan store “ Atom Plastic Milan” that was designed by The Pink Couch.

Ward’s artwork has been chosen to decorate airplanes and London buses, as layout for important advertising campaigns, sneakers and much more. International brands such as Custo Barcelona, MTV, Budweiser, Citroën, Mars and Mattel have requested his collaboration.

The artist has also worked with Tookata People, a brand of delicious accessories in pure leather printed with Andy Ward’s creative illustrations. You can find these accessories in Italy in the Atom Plastic Milan store alone.

The recurring themes in Ward’s work are inspired by his life experiences and his own cultural baggage. His british countryside adolescence, the city life in London, the love for his children, black American music, the Japanese culture, Max Fleisher’s cartoons, vintage objects, sailor tattoos and his travel notebooks are only some examples of Ward’s inspiring life experiences.

The artist will present some of his pieces (such as clothing and accessories), meet with his fans and tell unveil the secrets behind his works.

Atom Plastic Milan aims to be the new landmark for all those who are interested in the newest contemporary design trends: collector toys, design books and magazines, selected clothing and accessories, posters, wall drawings and lots more.

This store is the fusion of three elements that live together in perfect harmony. One place, three souls: Shop, Gallery, Events.
