PROCESS / APPROACH

During my research, I quickly discovered how dark Burri’s art was. Given how rich and detailed his paintings were, I decided that I would design around his work to let it speak for itself. From there, I chose a display type that resembles the qualities of burnt plastic (a technique found in most of his pieces). I then made a simple grid that would compliment his artwork.

SOLUTION

Simplicity and contrast. The result is a compelling artbook that properly showcases the work by complimenting it with the design. The contrast of highly detailed images and an open grid ties the whole thing together.
