I designed the companion catalogue for the Jacob Collins (2015) exhibition at Adelson Galleries, presenting a focused selection of recent still lifes, portraits, and figure studies rooted in Collins’ classical, representational practice. His work is known for its restraint, clarity, and sensitivity to light, qualities that guided the overall design approach of the publication.

Working within Adelson Galleries’ established aesthetic, I developed a quiet and spacious layout with generous margins, minimal ornament, and a measured serif typography. Images were presented at a large scale with understated captions, allowing the surface, atmosphere, and craft of each painting to be experienced without distraction.

The resulting publication serves as a refined companion to the exhibition, supporting the timeless character of Collins’ work while remaining consistent with the visual standards of the gallery. The design emphasizes clarity and balance, allowing the artwork to speak for itself.
