A Basketball Court Was Styled as a Malevich Painting in Paris

Our friends and sponsors Depositphotos launched a brand new blog "Bird" dedicated to the world of Photography. They asked us to come across their latest content presented both on Russian and English and select the interesting portfolio for our readers. Check the surface and the sides of the Paris basketball court that are painted in the main colours of Malevich's "Sportsmen"

Ill-Studio has collaborated with French fashion brand Pigalle to create a multicoloured basketball court between a row of buildings in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. They took inspiration from a 1930s artwork called Sportsmen by Russian artist Kasimir Malevich – a boldly coloured oil painting that depicts four figures stood side by side.

«Sportsmen is one of our favourite artworks, — they say. — We were attracted not only by the characters of the painting, but also by the colours and graphic design that were consistent with our view of the future».
