Return to Illogopolis
Ink/Colored Pencil
Artist Statement
This is based on one of my early works called “”Illogopolis”” only this is five hundred years in the future, after the city has been abandoned and is now ruined and crumbling. Moss, trees and ferns grow over the crumbling stone ruins. Even though the city may appear “Dead”, new green life is reclaiming it, returning it to a natural state.
I have always been fascinated by linear perspective in art and architecture, while at the same time I have also been inspired by the beauty and patterns of nature. My work incorporates both of these themes. The drawings utilize stark linear perspective to create images with science fiction and fantasy themes and surreal landscapes, with focus on depth of field and complex detail to draw the viewer into them. Some of my drawings blend the natural world with futuristic sci-fi images, and some of them features surrealistic takes on familiar landscapes.
