Steve Kim – Inspiration via Tumblr

By Patternbank On May 7, 2013 · In Inspiration

Patternbank loves this selection of artworks by digital artist Steve Kim. These colourful glitch twisted illustrations have been astounding us for the last year or so. Some of these romantic looking portraits were amazingly inspired by Tumblr users. Mixing sharp geometric angles against contrasting hyper-bright colours gives Steve Kim’s work its unique and eye catching look. Kim is obsessed by technology and interaction between beauty and digital form so is always close component in his work. If you are in London this month check out Lilk Gallery Art Studio where Steve Kim’s work is on display.

As Tilman explains, “I committed myself to two of my favorite fields, geometry and minimalism, and started creating graphics and publishing them on a Tumblr, one each and every day.
