Heavily inspired by early naturalists’ scientific illustrations, his work embodies the accuracy and precision representative of technical drawings, used for identification purposes,” his website reads.
“Island pursues a point of balance where minimal shape and color remain capable of realistically representing a subject. To accomplish this, he renders his subjects to near bare minimum geometric elements of form, and places paramount importance on the use of a carefully considered colour palette.”
He painted murals in over 25 countries and exhibited his art in Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands. Scroll down to see it.
