Political yet witty illustrations that play with shape and colour by Sébastien Thibault

Quebec illustrator Sébastien Thibault is someone who loves to play with symbols, shapes and colours to produce clever, conceptual artworks that beautifully illustrate some of the world's biggest social, political and cultural stories of the day.

Based in Matane, Gaspésie, he has been repeatedly hired by leading publications such as Time magazine, The New Yorks Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Le Monde, The Wall Street Journal and The Boston Globe – covering topics ranging from the rise of social media and our loss of privacy to Europe's refugee crisis and the Syrian War.

As you browse through his bold and abstract images – you might notice a microphone smartly placed close to Donald Trump's rear end, or perhaps a piggybank that doubles as a petrol pump handle. Each and every illustration is both somber and witty, thought-provoking yet amusing.

Represented internationally by Anna Goodson Illustration Agency, you can discover more of his work at www.sebastienthibault.com. Or follow Sébastien on Behance.
