Andy Council is a Bristol based illustrator with a particular fondness for dinosaurs. His trade mark is a style which sees him using a combination of graphics, line drawing, ink, paint and pen to assemble an array of objects in a form, such as to create another overriding image. For example, towns and villages that form the shapes of dinosaurs or chickens and rabbits made out of tanks. His work is currently gaining popularity and features regularly in the Guardian.
Recently he has been invited to contribute to the ‘Masters Reborn’ exhibition at the Compound gallery, Portland, Oregon, US. Above is his piece, for ‘Masters Reborn’ a junk food reworking of ‘Vertumus’ by Giuseppe Arcimboldo. The show features a selection of re-interpreted great artistic masterpieces and opens on the 3rd of April.
