SKETCH: The Gallery

 

.   .   .


The Gallery at Sketch in London has re-opened its doors early this June. The restaurant now hosts an installation with new works by British artist and last year’s Turner Prize nominee David Shrigley.

 

Paris-based architect and designer India Mahdavi was commissioned to create a new setting for David Shrigley’s witty artworks. She conceived a soothing, monochromatic, strikingly comprehensive interior to give Shrigley’s drawings and ceramic tableware room to breathe.  She updated the archetypal brasserie design with a very contemporary all-over Ladurée-esque powder pink on the walls and on the velvet-covered custom-made furniture. The classic, almost bourgeois design invites a deliberately playful contrast with the amusing, raw and outré 239 drawings lining the restaurant’s walls.
