Orpheus Street Paintings

Art Direction, Photography and Graphic Design for the book Orpheus Street Painting by Nelson Diplexcito.

PROBLEM: Nelson Diplexcito works in a studio space on Orpheus Street, Camberwell. The studio is rumoured to be knocked down in the coming years, and his body of work has never been properly documented. How could we create a document that captures the essence of his practice and its environment?

SOLUTION: We created a book of Nelson’s work that takes inspiration from the details of his creative practice. Typography drawing from the brand of oil paint he uses and a cover material that brought the feeling of a canvas. It was designed to feel like a snapshot of his intimate environment.
