Fox Galleries is proud to announce a special project with Cartographic artist Anton Thomas.

ANTON THOMAS   Wild World (detail) 2023, original and framed editions available.

After an astronomical THREE YEARS of drawing, Fox Galleries is proud to announce our presentation of Anton Thomas’ now completed map of the ‘Wild World’.

Anton Thomas is an artist-cartographer based in Melbourne. From his childhood in New Zealand’s South Island to the present day, he has been enchanted by geography, exploring its confluence with
art via hand-crafted maps.

His maps are drawn with coloured pencil and fine-liner pen. They are astonishingly detailed, sometimes needing thousands of hours of research and drawing to complete. He believes the most emotive maps are those that evoke a sense of place, that see a location not just by its topography and hydrography, but by what it feels like to be there. By the colours, sounds, and lifeforms – animal or human – that inhabit it.

Due to his unique hand-drawn approach and themes around biodiversity, Anton Thomas’ aesthetic, functional and educational maps have garnered a global repution through his uncanny ability to turn geography into exquisite art.
