DSDN171: Curatorial Poster

0 Comments

I created this poster to show how Rococo and Modernism, although opposing styles, can be integrated to encompass a space, creating depth to a design.

Designer Sharnia King is releasing her exhibition at the Wellington City Gallery and invites you to be a part of this integration of Rococo and Modernism. The juxtaposition of two opposing styles is a moment in history that cannot be missed.
The feature pieces are an investigation into encompassing spaces through a combination of styles. The combination of Rococo and Modernism develops depth to a two dimensional design.
The curvilinear aspects associated with the elegant and extravagant Rococo style dates back from the high society of European culture. These designs were seen as very romantic and organic shapes create a very fluid motion to the design. Modernism proposes opposite ideas and techniques by using straight lines in a very formal and literal manner. The look is almost simplistic when viewed beside Rococo.
A variety of materials is used to explore the limits of encompassing a space through a combination of Rococo and Modernism. Therefore the pieces on display have pushed the limits of fluidity in a range of different directions. Some are extravagant, some are simplistic. There’s something everyone can identify with in these forms.
