Stanley Donwood

Stanley Donwood is renowned for his on-going graphic work with Radiohead and developed his maps after a visit to Los Angeles. Confronted with a city ‘scaled for private motor vehicles,’ he was struck by the size, abundance and uniform design of roadside advertisements. Donwood used a similar colour scheme to create his maps series, dividing his compositions ‘like real estate’ into vibrant, crowded planes. In each of his maps different sections compete for attention, mimicking the busy, jostling cities that inspired them.
