Liam Stevens: Shapebook
Liam Stevens clears the clutter with simple images.
It's not surprising that the portfolio of London-based designer and image maker Liam Stevens has prompted comparisons with artists such as Matisse - it is brimming with characteristically Matissian colours, expressive lines and abstract shapes. His cut paper pieces portray trees, flowers and even onions in bold shades, while his Line Studies are still more abstract and evocative. A particular favourite of ours is his Jules Verne-inspired risograph print 'A Supernatural Existence', which is layered with different shapes and neon-bright colours. Some of his work is currently held in the Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Art's permanent collection.
