Cambridge, UK-based artist Lee Hasler has an eye for punchy designs. This is quite clear when looking through his work. The designs are cast in a funky, colorful cartoon style, but incorporate enough detail to keep the viewer busy. Looking at his works, one can't help but feel they are peering into little worlds.
The art is intricate, but manages to remain clean and crisp. One can easily distinguish one feature from the other. There is a place for busy, chaotic designs, but too often such aesthetics overwhelm the viewer.
The pieces featured here use sharp, clean lines and well thought out color-schemes to produce defined shapes that work with each other to achieve a harmony of unity rather than compete with one another for the viewers attention.
