Cards as an art form


I think of cards -postcards and greeting cards- as small, portable posters. It's a great format for an artist to showcase his work and for us to easily obtain, enjoy and offer it. The beautiful cards I found in Oblique validate my opinion. The Venus de Milo above (inspired from one of the most appraised works of ancient Greek sculpture) is an exquisite example of Oblique's art: minimal, monochromatic, modern with a classical twist, well-balanced. Seemingly simple lines that let the design breathe and shine.

These virtues are obvious in all the store's cards. The emblematic Courage shows one more of the fine and stylish things you can find there. See them, buy them and offer them to someone you care about. They're tiny (and affordable) works of art!
