Synopsis

This global edition pairs thirteen Sherlock Holmes short stories with artwork created in response to each assigned tale, selected to suit the individual strengths of the contributing artists. The visual interpretations span a range of approaches, including surrealist, contemporary, realist, digital, minimalist and symbolism, with each piece made to reflect the essence of its story.

The collection moves between baffling puzzles, humour, paranormal elements and intellectually intricate mysteries, with themes that include murder, theft, treason, betrayal, love, loss and greed. For readers who find abstract work harder to decode, the abstract artists provide explanations linking their art to the story they have interpreted.
