sorry trees

a selection of my posters for the dutch national ballet will be in an exhibition at dutch poster museum in the small town of ‘hoorn’ from late january till the 8th of april 2012

which of course, gave me a great opportunity to finally sort out (almost) 200 posters which i have made for them in the past ten years (yep… 10 years already, that went fast), i borrowed an empty office space in my building and have placed the whole series in chronological order, at least the large ones… 150m2 wasn’t enough for the whole lot!

if you are in the neighbourhood and curious give me a call, if i’m around you can have a quick look… friday afternoon they will be gone again

another short update: this time on the ”t barre land’ poster i posted about yesterday, the man himself ‘herman’ got in touch to tell me that this was actually a second design after the initial proposal (shown left above) had been rejected by the client… thanks for sharing, tough choice…

barren image

theater group ‘t barre land has had a long and very fruitful relationship with poster designer herman van bostelen and this latest one is no exception, the highly unconventional ‘elastic bands’ image is no doubt one of his own making too, he is a very talented fella… he almost always choses the least expected route when choosing his approach to a poster and to my mind, this certainly pays dividends
