Ugo Gattoni: Hippopolis

With the giant monument dedicated to the horse printed on his first Hermès scarf, young illustrator Ugo Gattoni brings us into his phantasmagoric, surreal and ironic world.

Ugo Gattoni, Hippopolis, Hermès
At the centre of the megapolis created by Ugo Gattoni for his first Hermès scarf stands none other than a gigantic monument dedicated to the horse.
This design perfectly reflects his aesthetic universe: a phantasmagoric world where the eye wanders freely, pausing at each architectural fragment. With a surrealist spirit and a healthy dose of humour, Ugo Gattoni carries us away into labyrinths reminiscent of a mischievous Escher.
Horses snort a decorative chequerboard tiling, abandon themselves to the joys of tobogganing, walk on a tightrope, and become acrobatic dancers… without forgetting, of course, the groom and carriage!
