Pigment

Pigment is a complete website for a working painter or visual artist. The first screen is the exhibition on view now, set on a live surface of wet paint that moves slowly and gives way under the pointer. On top of it everything a curator or collector checks first is exact: the work shown whole at its own proportions, a caption with medium and size in centimetres and inches, and a run line that counts the days of the exhibition, from "Opens in 48 days" to "Day 12 of 87" to "Closed".

It has eleven page types: home, a works index with series, medium and availability filters and three views (grid, a hang on one centre line, and a list with inventory numbers), a work page with a loupe and a full-screen viewer, exhibitions now, upcoming and past, an exhibition page with installation views, visiting hours and a real Add to calendar file, a studio page with the full CV and representation, a printable CV, texts and press with a reading page, an enquiry form that already names the work, and a 404.

Every page is designed in light and in dark, with a toggle in the header, and the layout adapts to desktop, tablet and phone. The demo shows an invented painter, Ama Lindqvist. Her artworks and photographs are for demonstration only, so replace them with your own before you publish.
