Synopsis

Created to bring accomplished visual artists into conversation with Sherlock Holmes short fiction, this volume assigns a different story to each contributor, chosen to suit their individual approach. The resulting interpretations span a range of styles, including surrealist, contemporary, realist, digital, minimalist and symbolism, as well as blended techniques.

Across the thirteen stories, the collection moves between baffling puzzles, humour, paranormal elements and intellectually intricate mysteries, touching on themes such as murder, theft, treason, betrayal, love, loss and greed. Where the artwork is abstract, the artists provide an explanation of how their piece connects to the story.
