Collaborative Presentation: Designing Lightscapes

Designing Lightscapes: An Exhibition by Diane Marra and Michalina Zemel

In the past, there was no distinction between the artist and the graphic designer. The finest artists of the day were sought out to paint posters advertising all aspects of life. In our time, a graphic designer is a trained professional who undergoes a great deal of schooling to properly design quality work. This exhibit seeks to explore the work of two modern, untrained artists who have made such a statement with their individual styles that they are actively sought out by companies to do their advertising. Though neither claims to be a graphic designer, they are perhaps markers of the industry’s leaning back toward talented individuals with strong and varied voices.
