Shane Drinkwater Paints Abstract Astronomy

Shane Drinkwater, an artist from Australia, does an amazing job illustrating astronomical maps and similar art using lines, dashes, circles, and numbers. He adds a bit of color to make his illustrations even better, but it’s the simplicity of the shapes he uses that makes them truly special. 

“I delve into the act of painting with a minimum repertoire of visual elements aiming for a maximum visual intensity. Ideas and images appear through the making of the work, language becomes unnecessary, I let the work speak for me,” This is Colossal quoted the artist.

Scroll down to see some of the maps he created and visit his Instagram page for more. Don’t you think they’d look great as wall prints?
