IVF Clinic – Boston Place

Art Contact developed an art program which incorporated a diverse range of original artwork to complement the decoration and to support the work carried out in the clinic.  A diptych was commissioned for a wall recess within the main communal waiting area.

The other artworks, constructed from natural materials and pigment are wonderfully striking and tactile in their simplicity, evoking a wide range of inferences relative to the work of the clinic.

Further works included colourful prints and soft flora and fauna to encourage a relaxed, holistic environment.

Private Client: Sumo’s

Sale of Sculptures by Pierre Diamantopoulo to a Private Residence

In preparation for ‘Chiri-chozu,’ the Sumo has been captured in a snapshot moment before his hands collide to initiate the fight. In this moment, the braiding on his ‘Mawashi’ are flung into the air as he squats into position, and his expression captures a calm and steady composure before the fight begins.

Once ‘Shiko’ has taken place, the fight can begin. Captured in bronze the opposing Sumo is in a position of balance and strength. The sculptor masterfully bends the rules of physics and gives a playful nod to gravity, as the Sumo’s body weight is thrown across to the side. The attention to muscular detail both on and below the surface of the sculpture demonstrate the sculptor’s masterful grasp of his medium.

Keltbray Group Holdings

Brendan Kerr of Keltbray chose artworks which reflected the vibrancy and contemporary design of the head offices in Surrey. Some key pieces were chosen to represent the company’s prominent activity in the construction sector. This was loosely interpreted through artworks which employ building materials such as glass, stone and steel as their medium and construction ideas such as balance and illusion as their concept.

Art Contact commissioned a digitally manipulated image of photographs of London architecture which the artist then encased in a painted aluminium box frame with a dichoric glass opening.

When one walks past the artwork the light, which is refracted by the dichoric glass panels, presents an array of colours onto the image behind.

Gilead Science

Gilead Sciences is a bio-pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercialises innovative therapeutics in areas of unmet medical need.

Art Contact was invited to work with the team to select artwork to support the corporate identity and to enhance the working environment. Over the years artworks were selected and commissioned for both the offices at Granta Park and for the European Headquarters at Stockley Park.

In the offices at Granta Park colourful artworks were selected to enhance the working environment and to support the companies ethos.

As the main office is based in America they where keen to depict views of London in their Stockley Park offices.
A series of photographs were commissioned depicting views of London. The resulting images were combined and manipulated resulting in series of photo montages which were printed in monochrome to suit the decor.

‘Trees’
The brief was to produce substantial artworks that would have considerable impact on the space at the same time as creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Images of trees were chosen to help create the calm and the use of non-reflective acrylic panels giving the impact that the space required.

Chelsea Diagnostics

The brief for this project was to bring the natural botanical world into this urban healthcare centre. To provide a holistic and therapeutic environment and to create a peaceful atmosphere for the patients.

Art Contact sourced images of flora and fauna from three established photographers to create the right blend of imigary for the space.

 

Digital image files were printed onto a specialist wipe clean board. This utilitarian board was appropriate within this health care environment to comply with rigorous hygiene standards.

The feed back from this project following the opening has been extremely favourable having satisfied the brief in creating an extremely peaceful environment for staff and patients alike.
