Two painters. One show.
Rebecca Wallace and Pip Seymour needed an online exhibition of their work — something that felt like visiting a gallery, not browsing a folder of images.
The focus was simple: let every painting fill the screen, and make moving from one to the next feel natural.
Two rooms.
Instead of one long page of pictures, the site became an exhibition with a room for each artist.
Visitors don’t scroll a list. They choose a room, step in, and walk through the work.
Minimal, editorial — and out of the way.
