RP- Color and Pattern

Victor Horta

“From the plant I take the stem.”
My pattern represents my quote and designer because like a stem the tints and shades of green are vertical from top to bottom and seem to extend off the page in both directions, like the always growing plant stems. The curved lines are representative of leaves and portray the less geometric aspect of nature that Horta often included in his work. The color is taken from the rich, bold colors that were commonly seen in his designs and are also colors likely to be seen if you wondered along a French countryside filled with wild flowers, a view that was an inspiration in Horta’s early work. The progressive lightening and darkening of the hues on the design implies rounded and curved shapes, much like those found on plants and other natural objects.
