Chris Labrooy Prints

Based in Scotland, Chris LaBrooy is a digital artist who has created work for brands such as Apple, Nike, Porsche, Time Magazine and Louis Vuitton. With the arrival of more advanced CGI technology and software, Chris saw an opportunity to explore the medium in itself with which he could subvert and twist familiar everyday things into new typographic and sculptural forms. His impossible compositions are odd and alluring because they appear hyper-real, though every single pixel is meticulously 3-D-modeled, using photographs only for reference. He enjoys wistfully twisting and contorting cars he loves such as the Porsche, within the fully digital, three-dimensional worlds he builds. Golden mountains, tall palm trees and gorgeous mid-century architecture bathed in radiant sunlight set the stage for the main characters.

You can find behind the scenes glimpses of his work on his Instagram account, or purchase his surreal and colorful prints directly from his website.
