Yvonne Mecialis has developed her own unique style through the influence of the 1920’s Art Deco and Art Modern movements. The smooth elegant lines and sleek designs in her work reflect a new approach to the “modern” look from that era. Fritz Lang’s film, “Metropolis”, from 1927, was the inspiration for Yvonne’s set of Artool Freehand Templates. This film is a landmark for a glimpse into the future from a 1920’s perspective, and is a classic example of a timeless direction in art.
The Metropolis Templates are so versatile that they can be used for a myriad of airbrush applications. Whether you’re adding an accent to your piece, or creating a sleek futuristic theme, Metropolis is a welcomed addition to any artist’s toolbox!
Made from solvent proof polymer, these templates can be cleaned with solvents and is easily flexed or curved around irregular shaped surfaces without fear of damaging them. These freehand airbrush templates are designed by Yvonne Mecialis and precision laser-cut by Artool.
