The time is Nao

If you havent heard of Glyn Dillons’ The Nao Of Brown allow me to be the first to introduce you. While considering heavily influential graphic novels The Nao Of Brown comes to mind when you are looking for impeccable use of color for symbolism. Our main character Nao suffers from OCD and in an attempt to combat violent reoccuring thoughts she focuses on her ability to control thought through her own artwork. We as viewers see red portray the strong and at somepoints frantic feelings that Nao refuses to let stop her from trying to live decent or moral life style. This is deffinitely a graphic novel for the art lover but can be enjoyed by anyone who takes interest in a modern example of trying to find balance in a confusing world of thought. Many of us can relate to Nao in her revisiting of worries but if you are less into the portrayal of human flaws and how some may cope with daily struggles this is a good book to read simply for the visual pleasure. Each page is enthralling in the water color-esque style and calm reinstatments of colored themes. If you are looking to appreciate a work for the thought behind what we as viewers see visually this is a particularly good novel to sit and look at. So really what a better time than now to appreciate the lush useage of color that Dillon creates in The Nao of Brown.
