CGE Asset Management

Art Curation by Art Contact

When CGE Asset Management relocated to new offices, they invited Art Contact to curate a collection of artworks that would transform the workplace into an inspiring and visually stimulating environment.

The brief was clear — to create a space with strong visual impact and conversational interest, but not wacky. In response, we curated a collection that blends sophistication with creative diversity, featuring works across a range of media and styles.

The boardroom features an aluminium oil paint panel installation by internationally acclaimed artist Eric Butcher, complemented by Chuck Elliott’s digital art panels. Elsewhere, the collection expands with Winter’s constructed works, abstract oil paintings by Lanyon and McAlpine, and Fuscoe’s striking upcycled magazine installation for the meeting rooms and client areas. Bright, framed limited-edition prints add vibrancy and energy to the open workspace.

Over the following years, we continued to expand the collection, most recently commissioning new works for an additional meeting room and the corridor connecting reception to client areas. In this phase the office art curation centered on sustainability and visual continuity.

For this latest commission, we selected Stuart Hartley, whose practice spans from architectural installations to intimate explorations of colour and space. His new works for CGE include an acrylic on birch plywood installation concealing a poem by Rudyard Kipling, and a piece from his Incident Series, which reflects on the unexpected moments that interrupt the formality of everyday life.

Together, these artworks form a cohesive and evolving collection — one that reflects CGE Asset Management’s values of creativity, innovation, and thoughtful design.

AngloGold Ashanti

Art Curation by Art Contact

AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) was introduced to Art Contact through the design and build company We Are Two, following the completion of their Category B refurbishment programme. The client sought to enhance their new workspace with a curated art collection that would provide the finishing touch — artworks that reflect both the company’s heritage and its global presence.

As a South African mining company headquartered in Johannesburg, with sites worldwide — including a new base in London and a gold mine in Colorado — the project called for a visual narrative that connected these locations while celebrating the company’s history and identity.

We began by reviewing AGA’s archival photography collection, selecting a number of historic and contemporary images to transform into digital artworks. These were enhanced and reimagined into abstract compositions for the staff areas, offering a modern interpretation of the company’s story and legacy.

For the main boardroom, we commissioned artist Eason, known for his striking use of gold leaf. Two works from his Mappa Mundi series — depicting Johannesburg and London — were selected to represent AGA’s geographical and cultural connections. To complete the trio, a new piece was commissioned: Contour of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, produced on di-bond with gold leaf and framed in UV-reflective glass.

The resulting collection brings together heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation — a celebration of AngloGold Ashanti’s global footprint and enduring relationship with gold, presented through a refined and contemporary visual language.

Canmoor Developments

Public Art at Accelerator Park

Art Contact was approached by Hale Architects on behalf of Canmoor Development to consult on and manage a public art project at Accelerator Park – Dale Manor Business Park in Sawston, South Cambridgeshire. The project required the sourcing of multiple artists and makers across several potential sites, narrowing the options to a single artist and location for full production and installation. This process was carried out in close collaboration with Greater Cambridge Planning.

Our brief was to identify the right artist capable of translating the public art vision into a site-specific work that would resonate with the community, complement the location, and meet planning requirements.

Art Contact wrote a detailed artist brief, prepared a project timeline, and facilitated Teams meetings with all stakeholders throughout the process. We also drafted and managed the necessary contracts for both the selected artist and the developer, ensuring smooth communication and clear responsibilities.

Following a thorough consultation and selection process, Charley Peters, in collaboration with Creative Return Ltd, was commissioned to create ‘Orbit Fusion’, a site-specific public artwork designed to engage visitors and enhance the visual identity of the park.

Art Contact then continued to oversee the design, production and installation of the artwork including the artists involvement with the YES (Youth Engagement Scheme) programme to engage with children from the local school and to include their ideas in the final artwork.

The project exemplifies Art Contact’s expertise in managing complex public art commissions, bridging creative vision, stakeholder needs, and practical delivery to achieve a lasting and meaningful impact in the built environment.

International Investment Bank

Art Curation, Procurement and Installation by Art Contact

Art Contact was commissioned by an International Investment Bank to curate artworks for their recently refurbished offices following a successful tender submission.

The project began with a comprehensive survey of existing artworks to assess their suitability for inclusion in the new scheme. Budgets, curatorial objectives, and suitable locations for the artworks were agreed in consultation with the client.

A structured selection process was established in collaboration with a 15-person selection committee comprising representatives from each department. Digital portfolios were prepared for each floor and presented to the committee in person. Departmental proposals were then circulated internally, allowing staff to score the proposed artworks. These scores were reviewed and consolidated by Art Contact to produce a refined selection, which was presented for final agreement. The entire process was managed efficiently, requiring only a few presentations to reach a final decision.

Once the selection was approved by the International Investment Bank, Art Contact oversaw the procurement and framing of all artworks. Wherever possible, pieces were acquired directly from the artists. Framing was completed by Art Contact’s trusted framers to ensure a consistent aesthetic and the highest quality standards.

After preparation, the artworks were organized by floor and consolidated at the installer’s warehouse in readiness for delivery. Detailed installation plans were produced to guide the installation team precisely. Delivery and installation took place over two weekends to minimize disruption to office operations.

Following installation, the client conducted a final review and expressed great satisfaction with both the outcome and the smooth execution of the project, which was completed on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption.

Aboria Asset Management

Art Curation by Art Contact

When Aboria Asset Management sought to enhance their workspace, they commissioned Art Contact to create a series of bespoke artworks that would embody their brand identity while enriching the visual atmosphere of the office.

Our brief was to design contemporary artworks that incorporate the company’s logo and brand colours within abstract and nature-inspired compositions, creating a strong sense of cohesion and professionalism throughout the space.

Working collaboratively with digital artist Gudawer, we developed a collection that subtly weaves Aboria’s branding into elegant, visually engaging panels for both the Managing Director’s office and the staff areas. The resulting artworks blend digital precision with organic forms, echoing the firm’s values of clarity, balance, and innovation.

Each piece was printed onto di-bond panels and mounted with a sub-frame, allowing the artworks to float seamlessly off the wall. This approach not only enhanced the overall presentation but also fulfilled a practical element of the brief — eliminating reflections during Teams meetings, an important consideration for the client.

The completed installation delivers a cohesive and sophisticated visual statement — artworks that reinforce Aboria’s brand presence while creating a calm and inspiring workplace environment.

Sackville Street Private Offices

Georgian Town House, Private Office Artwork Curation

The client was introduced to Art Contact through We Are Two Design. Following the initial introduction, Art Contact worked directly with Fairway to curate the artwork for 33 Sackville Street, a Georgian town house transformed into a refined private office.

Our brief was to curate a modernist collection that would reflect the client’s deep appreciation for fine art and exceptional craftsmanship, while maintaining a defined budget. The collection was to include works across multiple media, creating a harmonious balance between tradition and contemporary design.

The resulting curation brought together photography, digital art, and paintings by Royal Academicians, alongside decorative artefacts from Murano and Georg Jensen. The scheme also incorporated carefully arranged faux floral displays and contemporary mirrors by Gam Fratesi for the main entrance, blending classic and modern design elements.

The final collection achieves an elegant equilibrium between sophistication and visual interest. It reflects the client’s discerning taste while complementing the architectural heritage of the Georgian townhouse, creating a timeless and cohesive modernist environment.

2BR

Artwork Curation for 2BR

2BR initially approached Art Contact while based at Bedford Row to provide artwork on a rental basis for an 18-month period prior to their relocation to new offices in Chancery Lane.

Following the rental term, 2BR invited Art Contact to review the new site. From the existing rental collection, several artworks were purchased to complement the new interior design. Additional pieces were then curated and installed for the meeting rooms and reception area to complete the scheme.

The company also had a small selection of existing artworks, for which Art Contact provided bespoke framing solutions to ensure a cohesive aesthetic throughout the main corridor spaces.

Over a two-year period, Art Contact delivered a comprehensive art curation and management service, helping 2BR create a refined and visually engaging workplace in their new Chancery Lane offices.

Private Residence, Sculpture Collection

Art Contact was engaged by Estate Manager, Tom Bream, to maintain and manage the sculpture collection at Great Martins. Our work involves annual inspection and cleaning, as well as restoration and conservation as required to preserve the collection’s integrity, condition, and visual impact.

Alongside maintenance, we have also commissioned new works to enhance and expand the collection. These include an Armillary Sphere by Border Sundials and a Panoramic Thames Map – From Great Martins to the Sea by Ewan Eason. Both pieces were selected to complement the existing sculptures and to add contemporary relevance to the historic setting.

This ongoing programme ensures that the Great Martins collection remains visually engaging, historically preserved, and carefully curated, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expression to reflect the estate’s evolving legacy.

MedPro

Reception Artwork for MedPro’s London Office

MedPro approached Art Contact with a brief to brighten up their London office while reflecting the company’s international presence. To achieve this, we commissioned a digital artist to create a bespoke piece incorporating high-resolution images of iconic landmarks from London alongside visuals representing MedPro’s various global offices.

The final composition, designed in a vibrant Pop Art style, layers and interweaves imagery from the following cities: Fort Wayne (MedPro’s U.S. headquarters), Dublin, Glasgow, Lyon, and Leamington Spa. The artwork features distinctive architectural elements from each location, unified through MedPro’s corporate colours to complement both the office décor and the company’s brand identity.

The result is a bold, colourful installation that enlivens the reception area and celebrates MedPro’s international reach. The artwork was very well received by the client.

A Livery Company

Artworks Restoration and Conservation Programme

Art Contact was engaged as an art consultancy with expertise in the commercial and practical aspects of art management to implement a comprehensive restoration and conservation programme for the artworks at the Livery Company during their extensive Hall refurbishment.

Working closely with the Head of Collection, we developed and coordinated a phased restoration plan for the Hall’s artworks. Drawing on our broad experience in fine art restoration across multiple media, we have ensured that each piece is carefully conserved in tandem with the wider refurbishment schedule, with specific areas addressed each year.

The first step was to conduct a full audit of the collection to assess the condition of each artwork, identify urgent conservation needs, and determine the scope of treatment required. Following this audit, a detailed report was produced outlining the recommended conservation approach and providing indicative budgets for each piece.

Each year, we collaborate with the Head of Collection to review progress and plan the next phase of the programme. This includes re-assessing conservation priorities, managing the handling and transportation of artworks, and coordinating restoration logistics to align with ongoing works at the Hall.

The project remains ongoing, with Art Contact continuing to oversee the careful preservation of the Hall’s entire collection, ensuring that every artwork is maintained to the highest standard and safeguarded for future generations.

An International Bank

Art and Artefact Relocation and ongoing collection management

Art Contact was engaged to manage the relocation of the bank’s artworks and artefacts to their new offices.

Our brief was to ensure a seamless move while maintaining the integrity, condition, and placement of the collection, including the management of artworks requiring restoration, framing, and additional fabrication.

To begin the process, Art Contact carried out a comprehensive audit of all artworks and artefacts, compiling the information into a custom database. A dedicated viewing portal was created to allow stakeholders to review the collection remotely and make informed decisions about the placement of each piece in the new office.

Detailed reports were produced to document the locations of each item in the existing offices and their proposed new placements. These reports were used throughout the move and annotated by the movers to confirm collection, delivery, and installation at the correct locations.

Following the relocation, all artworks and artefacts were installed as planned. Some items required framing or restoration prior to installation, which was fully costed and approved before work commenced. One of the more complex aspects of the project involved relocating a large Pegasus sculpture, which required additional fabrication before it could be safely installed in its new position.

The project remains ongoing, with Art Contact continuing to manage the collection through regular database maintenance, logistical coordination, and ongoing support as required.

    CGE Partners, having spent several years looking to engage an art consultant reached out to Art Contact.  At our initial meeting, the company expressed their desire and how they wanted to have the artwork reflect their ethos of both renewable and new technology as well as for the artwork to be a talking point without being too wacky.

    Art Contact set about putting forward a number of artists for each area which reflected their requirements. In the boardroom a standard artwork would not have been a solution with the vertical dominated wooden panels so something more appropriate was proposed.

    In the boardroom an artwork was selected by the artist Butcher using reusable aluminium bars painted with oil and resin. The installation complements the wooden vertical lines. Works by an Italian artist re-using magazine paper to create a 3-d sculptural art work was used for the main waiting area. Other area contained works by Winter, who creates 3-d sculptural wall art with sustainably sourced sand and stone, to abstract paper-works by Ford for the staff open space. The reception and staff kitchen area also with a selection of artwork created by Brooker using re-used metal panels painted in abstract seascapes for a more calming and tranquil space.

      Sara Stode Winter

      Swedish born, London based artist Sara Stode Winter has spent her working life in steady pursuit of creative fulfilment. With a background in fine art and illustration and many years of professional experience in different creative fields, she has acquired a strong artistic confidence and a unique expression that manifests in her abstract paper sculptures. Taking inspiration from her Scandinavian roots, Sara’s sculptures showcase a refined aesthetic and a considered use of colours and materials which, along with her avant-garde mindset, lends each piece an intriguing air of beauty and wonder.
      Control is overrated. Interesting things happen when you surrender to the fact that you never really had any in the first place. Shedding a lifelong quest for perfection and preciseness I am now making art as an exploration of what happens when an open creative mind meets malleable materials.

      Sara Stode Winter makes large scale sculptures out of quality Italian crepe paper. “When I came across this beautiful paper I was instantly drawn to the playfulness of its properties. Even now the possibilities still seem endless. To dye and manipulate the paper I use different media and techniques in processes that render each piece truly unique. The sculptures all take shape organically; from initial idea to finished artwork nothing is forced into being. I let the paper lead the way.”
      Lately Sara has felt a pressing need to make large sculptures, which makes perfect sense. As the physical manifestations of her unleashed creativity, the pieces that emerge demand scale. No longer getting lost in the details, Sara is finding and claiming her space.

        Carl Rowe studied Fine Art at Manchester Polytechnic, graduating with an MA in 1985. He currently lives in Norwich and is a former Associate Professor and Course Leader in Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts. He is an artist member and studio holder at OUTPOST in Norwich and is also a member of the Printmakers Council. Carl Rowe has an international profile as both an artist and an academic. His work has been exhibited widely in the UK as well as in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Canada, US, Estonia, Japan, Malaysia and Egypt. In addition to studio production he has also worked on public art including billboards, print portfolios and hospital art. In 2018 Rowe was commissioned by Hospital Rooms to make work for Woodlands Mental Health Unit at Ipswich Hospital and is currently engaged in a new project with Hospital Rooms.

        “My art switches back and forth between an engagement with socio-political issues and subconscious renderings.

        I can’t escape my concern for the wrongdoing in the world and within my art a surface layer of humour, absurdity and the arcane masks a strong undercurrent of concern for humanity. When I ease off the direct engagement with current affairs, symbols, objects and graphic devices float up from somewhere in my memory and arrange themselves in unlikely compositions.”

        Carl Rowe works with both paint, sculpture and print process. The materials that I use are often intrinsically connected with the images they portray such as the work Drool, an installation made with ink containing herbs and spices from the G20 countries and the Serbian paprika used in Deprecated Location, a screen print depicting Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Recent paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints present an obsession with clay pipe fragments, hazard warnings, cylindrical containers and clouds of particulates.

          ANZ Bank

          Art Contact was approached by ANZ Bank to advise on the repair of a picture frame that had been damaged. They were keen that the picture frame restoration should tie in with their move to new offices.

          The damaged frame was viewed on site and an appropriate restorer was invited to submit an estimate. Once the estimate had been agreed, and appropriate insurance cover had been put in place, the painting and its damaged frame were collected from the old offices and delivered to the picture frame restorer.

          Having carried out the restoration the picture with its frame were then returned to the bank’s new offices for installation.

          This restoration project was carried out to a very tight deadline so that the picture could be collected from the old office and returned, following the restoration of the frame, to their new offices.

          • Object – Restoration of damaged picture frame.

          Hanover Investors Management LLP

          Hanover Investors Management LLP engaged Art Contact to help them source suitable artworks for their new offices in London’s West End. As this was the first time that they had installed artworks in their offices they decided to rent short term to see if this was an appropriate route to make the offices feel more friendly and homely.

          An extensive portfolio of artists were put forward and through discussion these were reduced to just 3 artists.

          As the items were being rented, at least to start with, a portfolio was created showing available rental artworks by these artists. 8 artworks were selected which were then delivered and installed.

          The original paintings by Marina Emphietzi went into the main reception and the original painting by Steve Johnston was installed in the boardroom. The photographs by Dominic Pote, which had been specially printed onto Di-bond, were installed in Hanover Investors Management LLP new offices.

          Marina Emphietzi

          Marina Emphietzi now lives in London and her work explores issues of time, life and memory.

          She creates engaging artworks in a distinct semi abstract style inspired mostly by water and the marine environment.

          With the sound of crashing sea waves and the hot feeling of sand under bare feet, Marina’s story starts in Famagusta, Cyprus. Her family’s childhood home built along the scenic coastline, she spent most of her days by the beach. It’s here that she came to know the limitless freedom of the Ocean. Surrounded by the vivid landscapes of Cyprus, art came naturally to Marina. Her heart’s desire was to study art, although she would pursue a successful career in hotel management and marketing before finally achieving her life-long dream. She has studied at the prestigious schools of Central St-Martins and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMASS).

          At the age of 14, Marina Emphietzi lost her home in the trauma of war. The ocean and its waters, full of life and possibility, are a part of her most joyful memories. They are from which she draws inspiration from in her work and why her pieces have the power to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia and freedom. A world traveller, Marina has called many places home. The man-made beaches of Dubai, the crowded markets of Ethiopia, and now, the grey skies of London, U.K., each brings their own colour palette to Marina’s current work. Created with robust energy, her paintings have playful textures and a distinct style. They bring to surface lost memories of being near water, the sound of rumbling waves, the feeling of a warm breeze across skin. A metaphor of the transient human experience, her artwork suggests we flow through the journey through life, ever-changing and free.

            Neale Marriott

            Neale Marriott’s work explores our relationship with the places around us, whether the fleeting joy of the natural landscape or the complexity and enclosure of urban spaces. I see my artworks as constituting a journey in different ways. First, I want them to have an energy and sense of movement within themselves in order to replicate our interaction with the world. They also explore a journey from figuration to a more dynamic abstraction. Finally, in my sculptural work particularly, they are a reflection on a more generic human journey with references to history, progress, science and geography.

            I have always been interested in exploring different materials on which to paint including metal, concrete, glass & Perspex.

            In using these materials, I’ve always sought to blur the boundaries between the illusory nature of paint and the physical properties of materials.

            Neale Marriott’s paintings and painted construction pieces on layers of acrylic Perspex and concrete try to take painting into new spatial and sculptural areas by creating an experience that subtly shifts and changes as the viewer moves around them. The aim is to create more interactive spatial artworks that better represent our experience and explore different contexts and narratives.

              Gina Parr

              Gina Parr is a Painter who also “paints with a camera” when traveling.

              The image of the sea and the Artist’s thoughts about memory and identity are ever present in her work. Her childhood, spent diversely in wide-open spaces, fishing for Mackerel with her father, and her mother with her hoarding and mental health issues defined the Artist’s relationship to the sea and land, the uncertainty of the deep, the spirit and memory of the open space, evoking freedom and connectedness. She does not wish to recreate those experienced places, but to unearth the truth, to centralise the feelings and emotions that were and are present, to not be afraid of the material of her past. The Artist’s work is an expression of the intermingling of both joy and pain: the human condition.

              Gina Parr was originally trained as a Fine Artist, graduating with a First Class BA Honours Degree.

              She went on to Chelsea College of Art to study set design, leading to a 25 year career Production Designing many prestigious shows for television.

              She returned to her Artist’s practice in 2007.

              She has also lectured in art and design at Chelsea College of Art and Nottingham University, is widely exhibited in galleries and art fairs in the UK and Europe. She is an Associate member of The Society of Women Artists in London and has works held in collections Worldwide including; Keble College Oxford, Director Jestico + Whiles Architects London, President Boston’s Children’s Museum USA, Senior Economist Goldman Sachs, Argentex and Vedanta Headquarters in London, and Commissions in UAE, Belguim + London.

                Liesha Yaz

                Liesha Yaz paintings are an emotional response to a feeling, experience or place, I see the work as the atmosphere and sense of place made physical; marks are not made to describe but to elicit and emote, to forge a connection.

                The studio is filled with music, I meditate and read poetry in an attempt to find the state of mind and the creative space within where my painting can flow. Liesha Yaz is driven by intuition, each painting an unplanned journey, a celebration of the physicality of paint and surface.

                The surface of these oil paintings are untamed, highly worked and layered, difficult to look away from, I use oils and mixed media to create texture and form in my paintings.

                Emotional creativity is the heart and soul of my paintings these images are totally unique in every sense.
                My work is widely collected by both national and international private and corporate clients.

                  David Burns

                  David Burns creates ceramic and metal wall art characterised by the elegance of porcelain clay and the forms and craftsmanship of slip casting. He designs wall art for private, corporate or public spaces.

                  The hand cast porcelain discs are miniature sculptures each with a unique relief and impression which plays with shadow and light. An intensity is created by juxtaposing black porcelain alongside the purity and delicacy of natural porcelain and brighter pink tones. The playful drip line contrasts with the controlled and meticulous grid arrangement of the discs.

                  Each piece created by David Burns is mounted onto a colour matched aluminium backboard and a black aluminium frame and can be commissioned to the client’s space and environment.
