Scarful, NO JOY, 2013

NO JOY is a monument to SCARFUL, the least well known of the kings of Rome. No Joy brings together in 80 inked pages a radical concentrate of style, pain, violence and irony. Scarful explores the deeper aspects of living, representing shadows, tensions and fears with the strength of his illustrations. A unique style emerges, meticulous in its details, precise to the point of obsessiveness, in his outlines the expressions of his subjects fix, search and obtain the attention of who looks at them. The graphic cover and quality of the materials used for this edition help to put forward the illustrations, sublimating the stretch and strength. With this book Scarful documents in a definitive way how extremely dark the colour black can be.
