Artist Angela Leach curated by international design guru Bruce Mau

“I've been following Angela's work for a long time. It's stunning. The way she works with colour and the kind of transformation of perception in her work is quite profound. She's like the 21st century Bridget Riley, taking Op art to a place where we've never been before.”

INTERNATIONAL DESIGN GURU • FRANK GEHRY • MASSIVE CHANGE • MOMA

In collaboration with the Globe and Mail, Wondereur invited international design guru Bruce Mau to share the work of an artist that deeply touches him. A visionary in the design world, Bruce has played a major role in defining how design can change the quality of life. In 1985, Bruce founded Bruce Mau Design and remained the creative director until 2010. He's collaborated with high-profile architects such as Frank Gehry and has been commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum, MoMA and other leading art institutions. Bruce is also the founder of the Institute without Boundaries whose first project, Massive Change, has become a platform that addresses social, environmental and economic issues. In 2015, The Philadelphia Museum of Art dedicated a retrospective exhibition to his work, entitled "Work on What You Love: Bruce Mau Rethinking Design."
