Lisa McKenna, an accomplished brand designer with over 25 years of experience, has honed her craft across various sectors, including prestigious firms and co-founding the award-winning LIMA Design. This expertise shines through in her NFT collection, a rich tribute to the Brutalism movement where architectural essence takes center stage.
In the collection, “Flora” stands out as a testament to Flora Wieckmann and Leonardo Savioli’s impactful functionalist design. Drawing inspiration from their renowned Palazzo della Regione in Florence, the piece reflects a unique austerity that characterizes their work.
Meanwhile, “Lina” pays homage to Lina Bo Bardi. This Italian-Brazilian architect, celebrated for her design of the iconic SESC Pompéia cultural center in São Paulo, imbues the artwork with the raw power of Brutalist design.
Not forgetting “Gae,” an artwork celebrating Gae Aulenti’s transformative modernist and Brutalist creations. Aulenti’s diverse portfolio, with gems like the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, provides a rich canvas of inspiration.
The collection wraps up with “Yvonne,” celebrating the innovations of Le Corbusier, a key figure in Brutalism. His pioneering use of materials, as seen in his works such as the Unité d’Habitation, breathes life into the artwork.
Through this, Lisa McKenna’s NFT collection becomes a living testament to Brutalism, encapsulating the spirit of architectural pioneers in striking digital art.
