Posters Brest
Brest as seen by our artists: the concrete of the bridges, the open roadstead and the clear light of Finistère. Each poster is a personal reading of travel, hand-printed on 270 gsm photo paper with a semi-matte finish in our workshop in Fayence.
Choosing your Brest poster
Which Brest poster should you choose?
Brest comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same city:
- Recouvrance bridge poster: the red deck and its pylons, above the Penfeld.
- Maritime Brest poster: the roadstead, sailing ships, tugs, the rigging of the maritime festivals.
- Brest architecture poster: the cable-stayed pylon, post-war concrete, frank lines.
- Brest map or city plan poster: the roadstead, the peninsula, the districts traced in line.
- Black and white Brest poster: a Breton sky, quays, contrasts without colour.
- Brittany and Brest poster: lighthouses, coast, granite, in the same spirit.
The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.
Where should you hang a Brest poster?
- Living room: a view of the roadstead, alone above the sofa, where the sky has room.
- Office: an architectural composition, frank and legible beside the screen.
- Entrance: a map of Brest, to place the roadstead from the door.
- Hallway: a series of three Breton posters, same size and same frame.
- Bedroom: a calm sea view, with no dense technical detail.
Tip: a Breton sky often takes half the image. Do not press the frame against a low ceiling, or the sky loses its breath.
Brest poster: maritime or architecture?
- The maritime register tells the roadstead: boats, swell, shifting light.
- The architectural register holds the structure: stays, concrete, the geometry of the port.
- On a living room wall, the sea gives depth and takes a large size.
- On an office wall, architecture reads fast and does not pull attention away.
Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?
All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.
- With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
- Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
