Meet Brandon Wiebe, the multidisciplinary artist from Canada behind Black Point Cartography.
What started as a treasure map drawn on a portion of craft paper from a job-site many years ago, set forth a desire to create one of a kind, hand-drawn maps with pure attention to detail.
​
Upon deciding to pursue cartography, he has since been developing his own signature handcrafted style, displaying a most exceptional example of where art and geography intersect in perfect balance.
​
From maps to postage stamps, banknotes to canvases, Brandon has devoted himself to depicting the world through his work and continues to explore new endeavours in the cartographic arts.
Artist Statement:
​
"My work explores the relationship between the vestiges of a time past and the principal accompaniments of contemporary cartography.
Drawing inspiration from 17th century maps would eventually influence the aesthetic approach I would take in order to hand craft my own signature maps, combining old world elements with modern geographic landmarks.
I continued to experiment with the process, honing my cartographic style with each map becoming increasingly more detailed and consistent through nurtured thought and repetitive practice.
As terra firma reaches the vast coastlines where ink meets paper, we are taken through the winding, curving boundaries of land and sea."
