The Palais de Tokyo is a major venue for contemporary art in Paris, dedicated to living artists and current practices. It is distinguished by its very raw and abstract graphic identity.
Create a triptych of three posters to promote a new exhibition at the museum.

The Project
The aesthetics of the Palais de Tokyo provided me with a rich experimentation field, allowing me to explore forms, colors, and spatial dynamics with freedom. Its raw and minimalist architecture guided me towards a graphical approach that is both structured and expressive, where each element interacts with the void and volumes. The goal was to propose a creation that is consistent with its modern and refined identity while bringing a personal interpretation to it.
My Approach
Three Posters, a Triptych
The posters were designed to work together, creating a coherent composition when displayed side by side, while maintaining a strong and independent identity when used separately.
Consistency and Variety
I aimed to vary the compositions to give each poster a strong and unique visual impact, while preserving an overall coherence within the triptych.
Difficulties
A very open style
One of the only constraints imposed for this project was to highlight geometric shapes. A directive that is both rich in conceptual possibilities and deliberately open, allowing a great freedom of interpretation. This constraint allowed me to explore different creative avenues and test new ideas, thus pushing me to step out of my comfort zone.
