Jonet Harley-Peters

Jonet Harley-Peters takes the natural world as her starting point. She interpret the effects of light on plants water and earth. As well as the shapes and shadows that float on the surface of fragile and changing nature.

‘I’ve always been drawn to symmetry and pattern and first started to explore geometry and proportion in my last year at Art school. Part of my childhood was spent in East Africa and the rest on the edge of Dartmoor. Africa gave me colour, pattern and red earth – while Dartmoor was full of mood, mist and water.’

Jonet works with basic geometry using raw pigments and photography to make low relief constructions and photo-montage. Her work is based on what I see in the natural world.

‘I take photographs and cut shapes to produce fragments and then take what I need to reconstruct to make a new ‘version’ and tell a new story. I am currently using triangles but my response varies due to the demands of the material.’

Raw pigments have an intensity of colour and photo-montage shows the extraordinary detail and texture of the natural world. Simple geometric patterns provide a solid structure on which to base explorations with colour and image.

Jonet Harley-Peters works mainly in low relief construction with curved and cut shapes backed with heavy weight paper and cardboard , when mounted the constructed shapes appear to float away from the surface. All the work is box framed .

Dominic Pote

Dominic Pote is an artist working somewhere between the film maker and the still photographer. His exposures lasting as long as he keeps moving. Framed by the physical act of walking, his images are both literal and metaphorical journeys. Movements through space so that there remains something of the organic feel of their making. His work reveals the underlying spiritual significance of place. Whether an open landscape or the middle of a city, he presents us with the human experience. That which lies between movement and stillness, between the visible and invisible, between time and eternity.

Dominic Pote studied Photography at Nottingham Trent University from 1997 – 2000 where he attained a 1st class honours degree in Photography in Europe. During his second year his study was divided between two European institutes: Die Hochschule fur Grafik und Buchkunst – Leipzig, Germany and Famu School of film and photography, Prague, Czech Republic

Dominic’s large-scale works have been placed in many private homes as well as public and private collections. Commissioners of his work include Barclays Bank, The British Council and P&O.

Chris Wood

Chris Wood’s medium is light. She uses a range of high and low-tech optical materials to harness patterns of light that suggest ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world.

Her sculptures are simple arrangements creating kinetic patterns in response to the environments in which they are placed. Her work brings a wistful romanticism to a minimalist aesthetic. Chris Wood orders the accidental and makes us reflect on the experience of seeing.

After studying Furniture Design at Middlesex University in the mid 1980s. She then went on to study glass at the Royal College of Art, where she worked on architectural scale projects dealing with light and space.

Chris Wood produces innovative installations for gallery exhibition. She has shown extensively throughout the UK and internationally. Her work is represented in a number of private collections as well as the Shanghai Museum of Glass.

She also produces work to commission and has created works for Fendi Fashion House, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Premier Inn Hotel and a Scandinavian cruise ship. Chris is currently working on her largest project to date in Taiwan.

Claire Burke

Claire Burke’s current work is the culmination of 20 years dedication to making beautiful abstract statements. Meditative, tranquil compositions playing with the picture plane with the suggestion of a horizon and landscape. Two textured surfaces juxtaposed, the subtle differences between them emphasised by their apparent simplicity, the work revealing itself to be deceptively detailed upon more prolonged examination. The work is fashioned from Gold and Silver Leaf. The timeless nature of the precious metals and the fascination they hold, adding to the works allure.

A truly international artist, Claire’s work has been sourced for clients both private and corporate. Examples include a gorgeous private ski chalet, The Four Seasons Royal Suite in Riyadh, the cruise ship Brittania, private yachts and of course many beautiful homes. Kleinwort Benson has acquired a significant work for their collection.

Claire graduated from Falmouth School of Art for her foundation, progressed immediately to Central St. Martins to complete her BA(Hons) Painting in 1994 and has never looked back.

Unusually by today’s standards, Claire’s degree show sold out and she was able to continue her career as soon as she graduated. Some of those early relationships with Galleries and Dealers still exist today.

Claire’s work has been exhibited on a global scale in Miami, New York, Switzerland, Singapore and Hong Kong. Claire continues to work with a broad network within the art sector, including interior designers, galleries and consultants.

Much of Claire’s work is now acquired by commission from her purpose built studio and her new works are in high demand.

Charlotte Cornish

Charlotte Cornish is a well established artist producing prints and paintings. The dominant theme of her work is the nature of human experience. Creating tensions and harmonies through the use of colour and form.

Much of the initial inspiration for Charlotte’s work comes from places she has visited and have significance to her. Often using photographs as a starting point, and as the compositions develop, combining elements taken from the photographs with imagery drawn from personal experience. Charlotte is fascinated by the possibilities of colour and colour relationships and the infinite potential they have to create dynamic connections and reactions.

Charlotte Cornish uses acrylic paint for her paintings as it dries relatively quickly. I like to build up numerous layers of poured paint in thin veils, which contrast with more thickly applied paint, creating a raised surface on the canvas. Waiting until the paintings are dry before applying each subsequent new mark allows her the opportunity to remove or modify painted areas, without affecting the preceding layers. I work with the canvases flat on the floor for much of the time. The paintings take at least eight weeks to complete.

Jo Gorner

University, Jo was taught printmaking by Jean Lodge, who studied with S W Hayter at Atelier 17, Paris and who was inspirational in her rigorous approach and experimentation. Jo went on to complete an MA in print at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Printmaking is central to Jo’s practice, though it does not dominate the narrative or dictate the expression. The relief and etching techniques Jo Gorner uses allow space and time to consider an image facilitating the passage from thought to paper.

The quality of the marks Jo achieves, the presence of the hand and incidence of chance, are all integral to her work.

The restorative value of the creative process and the impact of the natural landscape both underpin Jo’s practice. The artwork which results is a sensory, embodied, response to this immersion in the natural environment and her relational encounter with a landscape.

As part of an ongoing project Art Contact was asked to supply artworks for the new Doctor’s Lounge at the Wellington South Hospital.

Julia Brooker was commissioned to produce a number of her abstract paintings on aluminium panels. She has used a colour palate to complement the interior of the Lounge. The paintings were then framed in ‘Wenge’ coloured tray frames.

During the installation a number of doctors came to have a look at the new Doctors Lounge. They were all impressed by the lounge and particularly the artworks.

The creation of Doctor’s Lounges by the HCA Group of Hospitals has been extremely well received by the staff.

Working with the refurbishment team Art Contact assists with sourcing and supplying appropriate artwork for Devonshire House Orthopaedic Clinic.

As part of an on-going art programme which has developed over the years a photographer was engaged to create a series of photographic collage images both of the local area and other appropriate imagery. These were then printed onto perspex and installed on stand-off bolts.

In the main reception the client was keen to draw from nature. An artist was selected to create patterns using photographs of plants which were then box framed to full conservation standards.

The colour pallet used in the commissioned artwork was chosen to enhance the Devonshire House Colour concept.

Private Client – Bathroom Picture

We were approached by our client to supply a bathroom picture for her Chelsea home. See our Purchasing Services.

Bathrooms have always caused significant problems for displaying artworks and above a bath is the most difficult. The steam rising from the bath causes particular issues with moisture.

A photograph was chosen which was printed directly onto Di-bond to mitigate the moisture issues.

The image chosen for the bathroom picture was ideal for this. By printing directly onto the di-bond some of the metallic surface was allowed to show through which work particularly well with this image.

The printed panel was then floated into a simple wooden tray frame stained to echo other items in the room.

Painting restoration required to painting damaged by the rolling up of the painting that had been removed from its stretcher.

This artwork had been purchased by our client. For easy transportation and the painting had been removed from the stretcher and rolled up. This had resulted in extensive cracking and significant losses due to the rolling of the canvas and the lack of tension.

Art Contact was asked to arrange the restoration of the damaged painting and to supply a new stretcher and tray frame.

The painting was carefully packed for transportation, fixed to a new stretcher and re-touched. Once completed the painting was fixed into its new tray frame and the artwork returned to our client.

The painting was then installed by the client.

Kings Fund – Painting Restoration

Painting Restoration required by the Kings Fund for minor damage to a triptych by Gerald Mynott. The painting had a number of scratches in the surface and the frame had some damage to the gilding and the gesso preparation. This damage had been caused by daily traffic through the offices – tea trolleys etc.

The scratches in the paint surface were retouched with a reversible treatment of pigments in an acrylic resin binder.

The damage to the frame was repaired using traditional materials and 23.5crt gold leaf. Once completed the surface was distressed and toned with pigments in an organic binder to match the original surface.

Once the painting restoration had been completed it was returned to the Kings Fund and re-installed.

Talbot Hughes McKillop

The brief from our client was to source a few tactile artworks which would be a talking point. This we certainly have achieved.

There were few tricky areas to over come, the slopping wall in the main reception area and the acoustic panels in several of the internal rooms.

For the sloping walls in the Reception, a copper wall sculpture by Philip Melling was chosen to compliment the colour pallet used in the reception. Outside the boardroom a paper piece by an Italian artist framed in a perspex box gave the piece a jewel like quality.

In the break-out area, painted aluminium sheets by Julia Brooker were selected. These were framed in box frames to fit on the narrow walls between the windows.

The Boardroom, Pavilion Meeting Room and Booths have acoustic panels giving limited space for artwork. To get round this we commissioned a digital artist to photograph the local area and produce image montages of local and iconic buildings which were then printed onto the fabric cover of the acoustic panels.

Worshipful Company of Fishmongers – Pageant Scroll

Art Contact was asked by the Fishmongers Company to arrange for the Conservation and Restoration of their Pageant Scroll. The scroll depicts the Lord Mayors pageant of 1616 and dates from around that time.

The scroll was hanging in a frame, mounted on fabric stretched over a wooden support. As part of their on-going refurbishment of the Hall it was decided to make a feature of the scroll by placing it in a purpose built display cabinet in the Library of the Fishmongers Hall.

Art Contact made the arrangements for the scroll to be removed from its existing frame and support. The scroll was then transported to our paper restorer for conservation, restoration and re-mounting onto a new conservation grade support.

The mounted scroll was then packed and placed in storage until the display cabinet had been installed ready to receive the re-mounted scroll.

Images were selected for a number of wall recesses. These images were printed onto Di-bond panels and floated inside perspex boxes which were designed to fit into the recesses.

One large image, again printed onto Di-bond and floated in a large perspex box was installed leaning against the wall on a slightly raised shelf in the reception.

Other items were mounted and framed in specially milled Oak moulding to match the other woods use in the design of these offices. The images were again selected from detail photographs of their development projects.

The installed artworks were so well received that we have since supplied similar imagery to their offices in the USA.

My work is primarily in acrylic. I work on large scale abstract landscapes. I like to emphasise both structure and colour in my compositions.

Enquire about

I take photographs and cut shapes to produce fragments and then take what I need to reconstruct to make a new 'version' and tell a new story.

Enquire about

My delicate paper reconstructions stem from an interest in the systems and structures of language. As well as the ordering of knowledge and the collecting, storing and accessing of words.

Enquire about

My work reveals the underlying spiritual significance of place. That which lies between movement and stillness, between the visible and invisible, between time and eternity.

Enquire about

My sculptures are simple arrangements creating kinetic patterns in response to the environments in which they are placed.

Enquire about

The work is fashioned from Gold and Silver Leaf. The timeless nature of the precious metals and the fascination they hold, adding to the works allure.

Enquire about

Much of the initial inspiration for my work comes from places I have visited and have significance to me.

Enquire about

The restorative value of the creative process and the impact of the natural landscape both underpin my practice.

Enquire about

I strive to make industrial materials appear fluid, malleable and delicate and continue to study different metals, looking at ways to manipulate and add movement to the material.
