Designers love bringing back styles from the past and giving their modern artwork a retro flavour. The 80s were all about bright fluoro colours, neon lights and scenes of electro futurism inspired by new computer technology. This post showcases 20 modern designs all based on the vibrant theme of artwork from the 1980s.

  1. 80’s style sure, but so much better when revisited by these amazing artists =D.

    Thanks for the nice collection Chris!

  2. These are awesome. Absolutely eye poppingly awesome. Would love prints of all of them in the house!

  3. Love the 80’s style of design its was as if they were not scared to use a vast array of colors in the work. These definitely capture the essence of the 80’s design work from the work I have seen from that era.

  4. +1 – cool stuff!

    Certainly will be adding some of these to my mobile wallpaper gallery. :>
