Iceland-born illustrator Siggi Eggertson’s work is tough to categorize. It’s similar to pixel art, with the repetition of various colored shapes being used to create a larger image. However, unlike pixel art, Eggertsson utilizes the shapes created by overlapping forms as details in his complex and beautiful illustrations.

The bold, defiant, experimental and in-your-face style of Siggi’s art is unforgettable. The last one in the list is superb. Wish I had a poster of his art. Truly arresting stuff here.
