Emma Wildfang - Totoro "A Shared Toast" - Series : Remixed Icons - “after the Orval poster”

Emma Wildfang’s "A Shared Toast" is another piece from her "Remixed Icons" series, creatively inspired by the Orval beer poster, a notable example of mid-20th century commercial art. This work incorporates Totoro in a setting reminiscent of vintage advertising, blending nostalgic design elements with contemporary pop cultural references. Orval is a famed Belgian Trappist beer whose iconic posters are prized for their artistic style. Wildfang’s approach celebrates commercial art heritage while juxtaposing it with animation iconography, offering a richly layered homage that appeals to enthusiasts of illustration, branding, and anime-inspired art.
