Ethereal Illustrations of Iconic London Brutalist Buildings
Illustrator Thomas Danthony pays tribute to three of the city's greatest examples of Brutalism.
London-based artist Thomas Danthony—known for his depictions of cityscapes—illustrated three iconic Brutalist buildings for a series of limited edition prints and a booklet featuring commentary from architect, critic, and blogger Michael Abrahamson. Perfect for viewing on Halloween, Danthony captures the buildings in eerie illustrations, making the structures appear weightless and ghostly.
The prints and booklet, "London Brutalism," go on sale on Nov. 3 at blackdragonpress.co.uk.
