Transitional Release
Transitional Release is the name of an exhibition showcasing paintings by Amina Coleman-Davis. Working as a curator and designer of this exhibition, I came up with the entire identity for the exhibition. The bright and exciting colors present in the designs are a direct reflection of the colors used in her paintings. Amina uses her practice as a way to grieve and remember her ancestors, claiming that death is a “transitional release” and something that should be celebrated. The collection of paintings present in the exhibition is called “Scribbled with Love,” thus the scribbledness of the identity. I was intrigued by her bush strokes and the flow of her work, picking out specific strokes that stood out specifically for the identity. As well as designing the main logo and design of the exhibition, I have also created several other designs that would be present at the opening, such as tickets and postcards.Creating this exhibition identity has given me the opportunity to view death in a new way while also learning how to properly exhibit someone else’s work in a way that does it justice.
