Art Curation by Art Contact

When the Remark Group sought to enhance their workspace, they commissioned Art Contact to create a series of bespoke artworks that would embody their ethos and enhance the visual atmosphere of the office.

Our brief was to design contemporary artworks that enhanced the offices using iconic London architecture and forest inspired compositions, creating a strong sense of cohesion and professionalism throughout the space.

Working collaboratively with a digital artist, we developed a collection that subtly weaves the brief into elegant, visually engaging panels for both the 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 acrylic panels and mounted with a sub-frame, allowing the artworks to float seamlessly off the wall. This approach enhanced the overall presentation.

The completed installation delivers a cohesive and sophisticated visual statement — artworks creating a calm and inspiring workplace environment.

Art Curation by Art Contact

When Parc Ferme Surveyors sought to enhance their workspace, they commissioned Art Contact to supply a series of artworks that would embody their ethos and enhance the atmosphere of the reception in their office.

Our brief was to supply contemporary artworks that enhanced the office reception creating a strong sense of cohesion and professionalism throughout the space.

A number of suggestions were put forward and images were chosen to reflect the ethos of the company and to enhance the ambience of their reception

Each piece was printed onto paper and framed in molding to suit the decor of their office reception location. The framing enhanced the presentation photographs.

The completed installation delivers a cohesive and sophisticated visual statement — artworks creating a calm and inspiring environment.

Art Contact was asked to assist Arma Partners with the re-organisation of the artworks in their offices.

This involved auditing their existing collection and the disposal of artworks no longer required in their new offices.

Following the disposal of some of their artworks Art Contact sourced and commissioned artworks from 5 well known contemporary artists incorporating diverse media, materials and techniques from photo montage panels to dichroic wall panels and original paintings.

The artworks were installed in the meeting rooms and around the offices. The addition of the artworks brought a colourful addition to the new interior.

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.

M1 Agency based in London operates across the UK and Europe in national investment, letting and tenant advice for warehouses and larger commercial buildings.

The company was keen to use their own images of various properties but as a commercial real estate is  not so decorative and interesting, we suggested highlighting areas by creating a ‘PopArt’ photographic collage.

The concept was received well and we set about working with a digital photographer who we have worked with over the decade, together we created a bespoke artwork which reflected the company portfolio and the vibrant young environment of the office with shots of bright colours adorning the corridors and boardroom.

Medicix is an international investment firm focused on the life sciences sector, established in 2016 by former Index Venture life Science team.

Medicix approached Art Contact as they had just moved to a new office in Great Pulteney Street and requested suggestions for artwork which reflected their multinational company.

We suggested Gee an up-and-coming artist who had spent years refining his new collection and his technique of curating a selection of vintage postage stamps from around the world which he had collected.

The postage stamp invented in England in 1840 revolutionized global communication.  All nations quickly adopted the concept of making it their own.  Each stamp tells its own cultural narrative, celebrating everything from commerce and innovation to art and agriculture which reflected the multinational organization as well as the work they carry out in the science sector across the globe.

CGE Partners is a private equity investment firm, supporting businesses across Europe. CGE invests in companies using technology to facilitate the worlds transitional to a more digital, renewable, secure, compliant future.

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.
