Fungi and Fretwork

For Nucleus Gallery’s 40th Anniversary group exhibition in Alhambra, Parakid creates a striking piece inspired by The Last of Us.

Blending natural textures with human presence, Parakid placed a lone guitarist beneath the towering form of a fantastical fungus, echoing the game’s balance of fragility and resilience.

The linework and organic watercolour palette bring a quiet lyricism to the subject, capturing both the beauty and haunting atmosphere of the world Naughty Dog has built.

Prints of the illustration remain available through the gallery following the show.
