Pulchri Studio 'Small Format' autumn 2024

Memphis Whispers

The Memphis Group - described with a wink as "a shotgun marriage between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price" - was founded in the 1980s by the Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. This movement introduced a style inspired by various art movements, including Constructivism from the Interwar period and Pop Art from the 1960s. The Memphis Group style is characterized by striking colors and geometric shapes. In this small floral still life (30 x 30 cm), entitled 'Memphis Whispers', I play with the use of color and design language that refer to the Memphis style.

'Memphis Whispers' can be seen and purchased this fall at Pulchri Studio in the Small Format exhibition. All works in this exhibition are small in size and can be taken with you immediately after purchase! My work is also for sale in the Pulchri Studio webshop.

The flower still life is part of my Project Preserved,  consisting of recreations of flower still lifes from different style periods in art. Flowers, vases and props in these works come from the thrift store.
