Odd Collection is an exhibition of new print work by Nous Vous collective, inspired by and promoting various philosophical and motivational ideas. It is part of an ongoing series of simple, direct graphic prints based on found philosophies, positive thinking, creative processes, everyday experiences and the collaborative nature of Nous Vous’ practice.
Nous Vous is a collective of three artists/designers, who collaborate on various commercial and artistic projects. This exhibition sees the collective continuing to explore an ongoing interest in self-motivation, creative processes and positive philosophy.
Original inspiration for this series came about from a fascination with overly-sentimental and badly-designed motivational posters. We work together very closely, and often come up with humourous or odd ideas whilst developing projects. These ‘philosophies’ are not arrived at by force, rather they come about whilst thinking thorough design problems or are inspired by everyday experiences. We started visualising these ideas as a way to motivate ourselves, and have exhibited several pieces from the series previously, though we aim to never make the same work twice.
Based across Leeds and London, Nous Vous is Nicolas Burrows, Jay Cover and William Edmonds, who have been working together since 2006 on commercial design projects, workshops, installations and curatorial projects.
This exhibition runs alongside Nous Vous’ range of products commissioned for ‘Design Event Presents’.
