Ace & Tate online Journal recently celebrated 27 reasons to be optimistic in 2019 and the piece truly stands out thanks the uplifting message (who would have thought there are so many reasons to be optimistic in 2019?!) and Miguel Angel Camprubi’s delightful GIFs.
Miguel was challenged to experiment with new textures and a different colour palette. “I had never worked with textures before”, Miguel recalls, “and in this case, I wanted to add something more, a sense of depth in each artwork.”
Twenty-seven uplifting initiatives, each corresponding to an alphabet letter, are paired with a unique, light-hearted GIF. “It was such a fun project!” Miguel confesses. “I was very inspired by the different stories in the alphabet. Behind every letter was a cool project, initiative or person.”
The result is a series of incredibly sweet and playful animations. Many of the protagonists behind each letter were women: “I chose to give more importance to the animations featuring women, and those are the ones I enjoyed working on the most. J, U and W are my favourites ones!”
