Evan Hecox, an artist originally from Colorado, makes beautiful graphic illustrations of the urban environment that have a real cinematic quality to them, often scenes of of the mundane, what we walk by everyday. His approach is to break down photographs he takes of the city and then reconstitute them by removing some elements and emphasising others. His series, ‘Dark Island’ is a good example of how he uses mixed media to create beautiful images of the city.

If you happen to be in in Copenhagen between now and 29th September you can see his work at the V1Gallery.
