Brightly-Colored Drawings Have a Bent Perspective | Monday Insta Illustrator

Danish illustrator Rune Fisker captures the imagination with surreal-yet-relatable scenes.

They're not optical illusions, but Rune Fisker's chaotic illustrations use visual trickery to create truly captivating scenarios. The Danish illustrator and animator draws people whose inner emotional states bleed into their surrounding environment, rendering offices, living rooms, and what appears to be an art museum into visual bedlam. His Escher-esque approach to form and line sends the eye on a search, but his vivid colors and strong narratives compel them to keep coming back for more. On his webstie, Fisker says his, "abstract, surrealist style plays with geometries, line, and tone. The results are subconscious scenes where characters of distorted proportions entangle with phantom scenes hinged between fiction and reality."
