OnePlus has become known for its unique and stylish wallpapers, thanks to the work of artist Hampus Olsson. For the upcoming OnePlus 3T, the company once again teamed up with the Swedish illustrator to bring to life four striking new abstract backgrounds. And although the phone isn't out yet, you can already download all of them, in full 1080p resolution, from Olsson's personal site.
In a blogpost Illustrator tells the story of how OnePlus's latest backdrops came to life, how a summer traveling in Europe inspired his latest work. “I was just about to go for my long awaited summer vacation to Europe. While boarding the plane, OnePlus messaged me about some new wallpapers that needed to be done pretty urgently. I got really excited about this new project but didn't get to know any details of what it was going to be, just that it was going to be awesome. I figured since I was going to travel around Europe, that I could use this opportunity to experience the delight of painting in Paris. I, therefore, decided to go back to basics, not touching my computer at all during the initial design process.
I went around town looking for inspiration at various art galleries. On the way, I found a great art supply store where I bought myself lots of ink, acrylics, mediums, brushes and papers. It was incredibly fun, they had everything I needed! I then rented an apartment for a couple of days, where I experimented and used up all the materials I had bought, leaving the apartment filled with art, covering the whole floor so that I had to jump over the artworks to be able to navigate around.
A day later it was time to head for Berlin. Sadly, most of the artworks hadn't dried up yet. I, therefore, had to photograph all of them to be able to use them digitally before they got ruined in the packing. Trying to balance the artworks on different kitchen appliances while catching the sunlight outside the window, the color was dripping, it all had to happen extremely fast!”
So there you have it. Check the wallpapers out even if you don’t have a OnePlus. We cannot guarantee however, that they will work with your phone.
