Dark exhibition poster overlaying large white type "video works by nicolas colas" with abstract black-and-white imagery and geometric grid pattern.
Summary
A dark exhibition poster for video works featuring overlapping white sans-serif type layered over abstract black-and-white photography with an architectural grid overlay and date range (03.02–05.03.2017).
Visual description
A portrait-oriented dark-background poster with thick geometric grid pattern subtly visible throughout. Large white sans-serif words "video works by nicolas colas" overlap each other at various scales and angles, creating visual rhythm through typographic layering. Behind the text, abstract black-and-white photographic imagery (possibly smoke, clouds, or light patterns) creates texture and movement. A small "DE SCHOOL" logo label appears in the lower right corner. The grid and overlapping type create a contemporary, gallery-focused aesthetic. The date range is positioned in the upper-right margin.
Key takeaway
Overlapping, rotated type at different scales creates visual interest without requiring color. Grid and photographic texture ground the typography. Bold white-on-black contrast ensures readability despite layering.
Reuse notes
Excellent for cultural/art institution campaigns, film festival posters, or modernist branding. The overlapping type technique is strong for organizing information hierarchically through scale rather than color. Works well for video/motion-focused events. Grid and monochrome palette suit technical or avant-garde positioning.
