Adam Dant's Political Maps

Adam Dant's Political Maps is an all-new collection from this highly regarded artist, featuring intricate, absorbing and beautiful maps, this time focused on the world of politics. Informed by his experiences as the official artist of the UK general election in 2015, these glorious works of art are amusing and subversive, hugely imaginative and packed with eye-catching detail. The themes range across the spectrum of British and global politics past and present, bringing in recent political upheavals such as 'Stop That Brexit' and current issues like the controversy around certain statues in 'Iconoclastic London'. There are also more timeless subjects like a map of US presidents in 'Presidents of the United States of America', and, of course, the pandemic, captured in 'Viral London'. Other highlights include:

• Il de Cameron: the intricacies of recent British politics mapped onto Boccaccio's Decameron, starring David Cameron
• New York Tawk: A visualisation of New York City through a century of its slang
• Johnson's London: Notorious places associated with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, including all the houses he has ever lived in
• British Left Groups: A fascinating history of left-wing parties and pressure groups through the decades
• Quitting Europe: the sadness of Brexit, encapsulated in exotic European cigarette packets from the artist's youth

Witty and whimsical, acerbic and intelligent, this unique collection will delight history enthusiasts, art lovers, and politics buffs of all persuasions. Its large format guarantees hours of happy browsing through the densely packed detail that Adam Dant brings to all his images.
