French–Iranian architect-designer India Mahdavi designed a colorful, homely set for a Pierre Bonnard exhibition in Melbourne.
Pierre Bonnard was a French impressionist painter (1867–1947). The exhibition features over 100 works spanning paintings, screens, drawings, photographs, and cinema, that tell the story of Bonnard’s career.
Mahdavi has exploded details from Bonnard’s works, placing them on huge abstract shapes, applying them to wallpaper and furniture, and creating a three-dimensional set design that feels like stepping into a home created by Bonnard. She also used expanses of color drawn directly from the artist’s work, which was directly inspired by the French landscape.
