Colour Nativity
Continuing his research into the meaning and use of colour in objects, Sebastian Bergne has produced a contemporary nativity set. Each of the characters is a minimal wooden block that is recognisable by it’s colour, proportion and place in the composition. The project makes use of our learned experience from exposure to thousands of images, toys and Christmas cards over the years..
In 2013 a large scale version of the nativity was commissioned for the Chapel of the Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
