my iphone pic doesn’t really do it justice but the crude shapes and colour scheme make this latest ‘amsterdam sinfonietta’ poster (by studio dumbar) almost impossible to miss…
me news
type face
nice new poster for a theater show, created by clever duo ‘jona rotting’ (design) and ‘arjan benning’ (photography)
culture club
the dutch ministry of culture (OCW) occasionally adds work from various artists and designers to their own private collection and these are regularly exhibited in their enormous office building in the hague
i’m very flattered that they have just acquired sixteen of my posters for that collection, including these ones shown from the ‘dutch national ballet’ which i have been creating together with many photographers over the past ten years, these particular ones were shot by ‘erwin olaf’ and ‘ruud baan’
new work
two of the large format posters (from a series of ten) which i have just completed for the ‘dutch national ballet’, the project was an open invitation to amateur photgraphers to shoot for one day during rehearsals, 250 eventually took part and a jury (of which i was a member) chose the ten best ones for a small ad campaign (due to be posted around amsterdam within two weeks) congratulating those winners…
i will post the whole set soon, when the campaign goes live
plus a new poster for the upcoming ‘nutcracker’ production (late december) complete with a model wearing matching boots (thanks ingeborg!) also due to be posted in the coming two weeks…
see also this related post for the whole series
congrats
just back from the printers today: a series of ten large format posters i recently made for the dutch national ballet, who have organised a photo competition for (250) amateur photographers to celebrate their 50th anniversary this year, they will be hanging around town in the coming weeks and there will also be an article in newspaper ‘het parool’ in the first week of december
