Tate Modern

CC Land Exhibition: Pierre Bonnard

During mid-2019 Tate Modern hosted a major exhibition showcasing work by the late French painter Pierre Bonnard. Tate commissioned Sentio Space to create three animated chapters in a style inspired by the artist. We broke the Tate’s record for likes and engagement on Instagram, amassing a quarter of a million views and 45 thousand likes for a single post.

Working with Bath based artist Holly Warburton, we created three chapters, each telling a short story about Bonnard. Stitched together they form a longer piece. The chapters are designed to work in both square and vertical formats, giving the Tate flexibility to use the content both as organic posts and vertical stories.

“Pierre Bonnard rarely
painted from life.”

Born in 1867, Bonnard was, with Henri Matisse, one of the greatest colourists of the early 20th century. He preferred to work from memory, imaginatively capturing the spirit of a moment and expressing it through his unique handling of colour and innovative sense of composition.

“Marthe de Meligney appears
throughout Bonnards work”

Pierre Bonnard lived with Marthe Bonnard (1869-1942) for almost fifty years. Their relationship spanned the vast majority of his professional career, and is reflected in a high proportion of his paintings and drawings

“Colour is a crucial feature
of Bonnard’s work”

Awash with colour and full of fidgety brushwork, Bonnard’s paintings demand attention.

“Working with Sentio Space was a pleasure. From the initial meeting to the final creative produced every part of the process was smooth and enjoyable. The animated chapters were hugely successful for Tate and really demonstrated how Sentio Space draws out a unique narrative with their creations as well as making visually stunning work. A joy to collaborate with.”
