The ways in which we recognise styles of artists and characteristics of iconic artworks are fundamentally by colour, shape and texture. In ArchModernist, one modern artist and one modern/contemporary architect have been selected as inspiration for the five original architectural designs to explore parallels in these practices in the depiction of non-representative form. These have been created using laser cutting technology and light and space to highlight the transcendence of concepts across artistic and architectonic works. Universal communication of ideas in the contemporary context has been established through homage to Modernists of both the art and architectural world.

An artistic orange brushstroke design forms abstract shapes on a white background. Overlaid on the design is the word "artexpress" in a sleek, modern black font. The orange brush strokes appear dynamic and free-flowing, with splatters and tapered ends.Simplified waratah flower in deep red colour with the words NSW Government in dark blue stacked underneath.
