The Artist
Max Ernst
Salvador Dali
Sculpture by Max Ernst
Painting by Salvador Dali
Series of Paintings by Dali
The artist I've chosen is Max Ernst and Salvador Dali. Both are renown surrealist artist with great range of work variety. Max ernst is sculturer and painter while Dali is a painter. The client wants to display and sell work of Dali both replica and real and Max Ernst sculpture.
In term of correlation with my building design, the large variety and quantity of Dali paintings and Ernst's scuplture need a lot space for exhibition. Large wall space area and open space for sculpture.
The Main idea of the building is the side louvre. The side louvre deliver smoother, pure, and unharm sun light to the painting. The paintings of Dali are consider as very precious and luxury, thus it needs high quality of treatment. To prevent deterioration of the paintings, the reflected light from the louvre is chosen. The idea is unique, thus not many gallery so far us natural light from the side, often it is from sky light.
The use of skylight for the sculpture, is clear idea, it gives sense of "spot light" to the sculpture, thus enchance the atmosphere around Ernst's sculpture.

2nd floor painting gallery perspective
It can be seen clearly in this drawing, the idea of side louvre to give natural light effect to the Dali's painting on the wall. The corridor is empty, yet gives unobstruct view to all the object. The shape of the window pattern is represent the surrealism of geometry, thus it gives sense of correlation with the works of art.
