The importance of a digital portfolio for artists.

A website for Gabriel Sobin — designed around the work, not around the web.

Gabriel Sobin has been making sculpture for decades. The work is physical, considered, and doesn’t lend itself to the usual conventions of online portfolios.

When we designed his website, the question wasn’t “how do we show the work online”. It was “how do we give the work the same space online that it has in person”.

The answer was restraint. A clean layout, generous spacing, photography that breathes. A digital portfolio that works for artists because it doesn’t try to be anything other than what the work needs.
