Noma Bar, an Israel-born illustrator based in London, tackles politically charged issues with eloquence and wit; his subjects range from Iraq to corporate greed, and his work appears regularly in The Economist, Esquire, Wallpaper, and The Guardian. He works by honing the negative space of a drawing, so that it adds nuance to the dominant subject he’s depicting--the meaning snaps into focus only after a split-second. His best work gives you the feeling of a light bulb, popping in your head. We’ve written about Bar’s work once before, but wanted to offer a bigger selection of works from his new book, Negative Space, which was just published by Mark Batty Publishers.
