ABOUT

The cover explores the philosophy of ultraviolence practised by the protagonist, Alex. The illustration juxtaposes the mental state and idealism of Alex, which revolve around rape, crime and violence. The figure and ground rendition also enhance the idea that everything is imbibed in him from which he cannot escape – from drugs to his visit to Korova milk bar, which is also hinted in the illustration in a very subtle manner and which forms the silhouette of his face. A person’s character is multi-layered, and the cover explores the unfolding of this, revealing the protagonist to the audience.
