Characterised by bold colours and a playful use of shape and negative space is illustrator and designer, Sebastian Burnett. Having studied Graphic Design at York College for two years, then going onto study at Leeds Beckett Graphic Arts & Design for another three years, his skills as an illustrator and designer developed rapidly. It was also there where Burnett built his skills as a screen printer and found a passion for a more hands-on stuff.

The work that we’ve decided to highlight is part of his final major project of his third and final year at the University at Leeds where he studied Graphic Arts & Design. The pieces are inspired by Burnett’s favourite artist Piet Mondrian, whose colour palette was the main feature he looked at when getting his inspiration. The print series also includes colourful stairs that lead to somewhere, but nowhere. Which were apparently inspired by the amazing work of M.C Escher and his fantastic worlds that Burnett loves so much. Enjoy!
