Opening on 13 March (to 15 June), Edvard Munch Portraits is the first exhibition in the UK to focus exclusively on Munch as a portraitist, including works never seen before in the UK. In celebration, the Gallery Shop will launch a new seasonal collection and has collaborated with several designers and artists selected for their use of colour, organic shapes and fluid design to bring the exhibition to life.
Rejina Pyo
The Gallery Shop will stock a capsule collection created by designer Rejina Pyo in collaboration with the MUNCH museum in Oslo.
To create the new product line, Pyo visited the museum’s archive as well as Munch’s Ekely studio in Oslo. The collection particularly draws on Munch’s innovative use of woodcut printing – a pioneering puzzle technique that allowed for striking contrasts and varied colour applications, giving his prints a layered, almost painterly effect that echoes the emotional intensity of his paintings.
The range includes silk scarves (£120), two bags in Apple Green and Fragola in the softest leather (£295) and a range of jewellery in silver and gold plate (from £125).
