Simon Boudvin - Motivi

'Motivi' is a collection of graphic compositions by artist Simon Boudvin, who created this during his residency at Villa Medici in Rome between 2020-2021. Drawing inspiration from famed Italian architectural and design magazines, Boudvin collected noteworthy pages from issues published in the 1980s. He then enlarged them by 400% to create 192 close-ups of seemingly random shapes and patterns. These reproduced fragments present a chapter in the history of Italian design, creating a background of the time.
