Dämeon Wardhang's abstract patchworks play with colour and detail

Date
7 July 2015

With ambiguous titles such as Chemistry, Estate and The Figures, illustrator Dämeon Wardhang leaves his lively work to speak for itself. The London-based artist creates orderly clusters of colour that look like a modern take on ancient drawings.

Reminiscent of Edward Monaghan’s illustrations with the stacking of coloured shapes to form one overall image, Dämeon’s patchwork creations play with the abstract and the detailed and it’s this mix that makes his images so interesting. Like a snapshot into Dämeon’s brain, he’s added a little structure to the chaos and it’s brilliant.
