The Art of Sven Rayen

Posted on Dec 21, 2010

Sven Rayen is an artist working out of Antwerp, Belgium. Most of his work is all done on scraper-board, or scratch-board in which the artist uses a tool to remove the top layer of color to reveal the bottom layer. This effect allows the work to look like a drawing but have a tighter and cleaner feel to it, and when down as skilled as Sven clearly is, the end product is very dynamic. Take a look at the images below, and then over to his homepage to see more.
