Liam Brazier

The London-based illustrator and animator Liam Bazier has a rare ability to look at the world differently, and his artwork certainly reflects this. Bold shapes and bright colours come together to form people, places and objects in a fascinating way. He’s an artist who can give any project a unique and distinctive look and feel, drawing the viewer in through deconstruction. Liam’s work is often grouped together with the low poly art movement, but whereas low polygon modelling is a form of CGI, Liam’s focus is on using shapes and colours to reduce images to as few basic forms as possible. He started off in paper collage rather than with 3D wireframes. His inspiration comes from architecture such as Charles Sheeler’s buildings, but also from popular culture and film. Disney and Star Wars are big for him. Liam grew up on England’s East Coast, but today he’s based in the capital where he lives with his wife and two cats. The latter form a patient audience for his guitar-playing hobby.
