Francis Baudevin

Distilling commercial graphics down to abstract geometric forms, Baudevin highlights the circulation of motifs between the worlds of art and advertising

In his playful and rigorous work, Swiss painter Francis Baudevin (born 1964) appropriates graphic compositions (especially logos and record covers) and removes all textual meaning, leaving geometric shapes that underscore modern art's influence on commercial design. This monograph offers a complete overview of his 35-year career. This book was published in conjunction with Kunsthaus Biel.
