Iakov Chernikhov

Gorgeous design work by Russian constructivist Iakov Chernikhov featured in 'Illustrate 101 Architectural Fantasies', which is said to have been one of the only avant-garde art books to be published in the Eastern block during Stalin's rule.
His work is said to even pre-date today's architectural work.
So many beautiful layers of colour.
