Make room for the work.
And the worlds inside it.
Matthew Manthe’s graphite pieces are intricate, atmospheric and full of things to discover. The website needed to give that detail space, and make moving through the collection feel like entering a gallery.
We built an artwork-first experience with a dark, neutral interface, generous viewing areas and an expressive entrance. The visual hierarchy keeps attention on the work while giving the collection a distinctive digital home.
A quieter frame.
A stronger presence.
Graphite carries its own texture and contrast. We carried those qualities into a restrained interface, giving the art visual priority and using motion selectively to introduce the experience.
A considered backdrop.
Dark surfaces and a neutral palette support the graphite work without competing for attention.
An invitation to enter.
An AI-assisted generative entrance introduces the artist’s world before the gallery takes over.
From a website
to an artist’s space.
The earlier site captures below provide context for the redesign. The finished experience brings the collection, its atmosphere and its navigation into a more focused presentation.
A gallery with
