The Valentine's Gallery is a 1,950 sf gallery and artist studio for the ultra talented painter Rebecca Campbell.
Full description coming soon.
The screen's color is revealed when viewed obliquely.
The portico creates a threshold between the front and rear galleries.
View through circular portico.
Ten new skylights fill the gallery with light. The muted materiality of the gallery accentuates the art.
Multiple rows of track lighting in combination with natural light allows flexibility in lighting design.
Paintings by Rebecca Campbell that show the under painting technique that inspired the Façade- notice how the color on the sides of the canvas creates a diaphanous glow.
The monochrome pallet of the studio was influenced by Rebecca Campbell's recent paintings.
Plan showing two galleries, courtyard, bar area, and restroom.
