Beyond the Figure is a major retrospective of the fifty-year career of Andrew Stevovich, published by Skira and produced in partnership with Adelson Galleries. The volume surveys 120 paintings and explores the artist’s recurring themes, formal language, and deep roots in European figurative traditions. For our studio, it was a particular honor to contribute to this project, given our long-standing admiration for Stevovich’s work and its place within modern figurative painting.

Structurally, the catalogue is organized into multiple thematic sections, each beginning with an essay followed by a dedicated plate sequence. Because the essays engage in rich comparisons with historical artworks, we developed highly designed layouts with distinctive compositions page-to-page, allowing these visual dialogues to unfold clearly and elegantly. Each section opens with a color theme anchored by a primary image and a decorative zigzag motif adapted from the iconic “Zig Zag Club” wall recurring in Stevovich’s paintings.

The plate sections follow a quieter fine-arts logic, pairing thoughtful spacing with clean typography to let the subtle narratives of Stevovich’s work speak for themselves.

Publication Editor/Director Linda Locke was closely involved in the design phase, offering insights and ideas that provided invaluable support and helped elevate the project.
