I was browsing GigPosters the other day when I stumbled upon a stunning screenprint poster by illustrator and designer Sam Chivers that was commissioned by the UK band Turin Brakes for their most recent tour.

The poster borrows strong elements from multiple art styles, some of which I identified as Art Nouveau, Art Deco and even a hint of Psychedelia. However, Chivers does so in manner in which these differing styles complement each other very well and as a result his poster looks extremely fresh and new.

Take a look at these Art Nouveau and Art Deco posters and see if you can spot the similarities in the Turin Brakes poster.

Art Nouveau
Salome by Aubrey Beardsley

Art Deco
Portrait of Ira by Tamara de Lempicka

Can you find any other influences within the Turin Brakes poster? You can check out more of Sam Chivers’s work on his blog and his in his portfolio.
