Gauguin Portraits

The National Gallery’s blockbuster exhibition devoted for the first time ever to the portraits of Paul Gauguin. Spanning his early years as an artist through to his later years spent in French Polynesia, the exhibition reveals how the French artist revolutionised the portrait. 

Working with Gauguin’s iconic bold colours, dark prussian blue encases the exhibition foyer and vivid cadmium yellow guide the visitor journey throughout the exhibition in the form of room intro backdrops and artwork numbering. An exhibition booklet was designed to aid interpretation for this popular and busy exhibition. A large 10 meter wide map was designed for the entrance hall wall space to introduce Gauguin’s travels across Europe and onto French Polynesia. The exhibition intros were all dual language.
