Portland Hospital – 234 Great Portland Street

Art contact was asked to supply colourful, printed panels using London Zoo as as the theme for the reception and children playing as the theme for the other floor. These panels were also to echo the style established in other areas for children elsewhere in the hospital.

To continue the theme most of the panels were printed onto acrylic or Forex and installed using panel fixings. In this case some images were printed onto ‘White Roc’ for incorporation into the finished wall.

See the images below showing the interpretation of the required themes.

Portland Hospital – Shard Clinic

Another exciting project with the Portland Hospital this time at The Shard. The brief was to commission colourful artwork for their children’s ward that incorporated iconic London architecture and scenes. Our digital artist created artwork full of vitality that were printed onto both acrylic and forex panels and were attached using brushed steel stand-off bolts.

We continue to work in locations within the HCA group with the artist who creates these unique artworks as they can be adjusted to incorporate buildings and places of relevance to each hospital whilst maintaining a continuous and aesthetically engaging narrative throughout the group which can be translated to any workplace environment.

Portland Hospital

As part of our ongoing work with the Portland Hospital, Art Contact was asked to commission a series of themed artworks for the basement and for floors 1 and 3 @ 121 Great Portland Street, ensuring that the artwork on each floor had a different feel.

Continuing with the on-going theme throughout the hospital, these artworks were printed onto clear acrylic and installed with stainless steel panel fixings.

Jayroma

Jayroma, a well-established fashion company, asked Art Contact to source and frame vintage black and white fashion photography for their office reception in Tottenham Court Road. They wanted to avoid artwork that is widely reproduced and for the focus of the photographs to be on the models and what they were wearing.

To really utilise the space, instead of only using large photographs we created a montage of smaller images that exhibit the elegant and chic styles of the 1950s. The clean-cut black and white photographs, mounts and frames created the sophisticated look that Jayroma wanted to portray and gives a professional first impression to all who enter the office.

Association of British Insurers

Following on from our previous work on their stained glass panels, when the Association of British Insurers relocated to their new offices Art Contact was again asked to assist and to find a solution for the display of their collection of stained glass panels.

The solution that was decided upon was to lightly frame the panels and hang them together in front of a light box. The resulting display is very effective and has been extremely well received.

As well as working with the stained glass panels we were also asked to conserve and re-frame some of their extremely old documents including one of the oldest insurance policies in existence. This framing was carried out to full conservation standards and should protect these items from the London atmosphere for years to come.
