Simon Birch: Cubism Revisited // Posted on June 27, 2010
I’ve been on a kick lately finding new artists that inspire me. Simon Birch is a great example.
I enjoy his work because I, like a many illustrators, have the difficulty of finding the patience to create works similar to Birch’s in a digital format. What I mean, more specifically, is the creation of vector artwork with translucent layers, similar to what Birch has done.
What’s more beautiful is the traditional oil medium. The motion is still there, typical of the cubist movements, but there is intense motion and stillness at the same time. I recognize the moving figure, but I see it also as one body, beautiful and complex in color and form.
His work is really beautiful. Check him out.
