Communication design
Megachromia exhibition
Ozgen Design Studio designed the visual identity, poster, invitation and exhibition catalogue of Roger de Montebello’s “Megachromia” exhibition which took place in Venice within in the collateral events of the 54th International Art Exhibition. The exhibition took place in the Casino Venier, headquarters of the Alliance Française.

The exhibition is developed around Megachromia, a new term and a new concept recently developed by the French artist Montebello. Megachromia is an abstract photographic interpretation of a small-scale, figurative “action” painting. It is the result of a specific process, presented in the form of transparent lightboxes.
