Cadogan Estates

Cadogan Estates approached Art Contact to source and supply appropriate artworks for the entrance of their building in Sloane Street used as a multi purpose office space.

They were keen that the artwork reflected their involvement in the area.

A photographic collage created from photographs of local landmarks and sculptures in various Chelsea gardens not usually seen by the public to create a link between the building, the locality and Cadogan Estates.

The collage was printed onto the reverse of 5 panels and installed on stainless steel stand-off bolts.

Devonshire House Orthopaedic Clinic

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.

Royal Marsden – Sutton

The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton approached Art Contact to supply artworks for the Robert Tiffany wing. The recently refurbished Robert Tiffany wing required Art in all key areas.

Virginia Grub worked closely with the staff of the Royal Marsden – Sutton to choose a suitable theme for each area. Floral and Woodland themes were chosen for the corridor and the reception area. For the patient rooms a coastal theme was chosen.

The pictures in the corridor and the reception area were reverse printed onto the Perspex panels. Which were then fixed to the walls using Panel fixings.

In the patient rooms the pictures were framed in a moulding to suit the interior palette.

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.

BMA – Conference and Meeting Rooms

Art Contact was asked to find appropriate artwork to be included in the refurbishment of various meeting and conference rooms.

To meet the brief a series of photographic montages were commissioned printed onto acrylic panels. In the circulation spaces montages were created of the BMA and the surrounding area but in the named meeting rooms very specific themes were chosen relating to the name of the meeting room.

As well as these commissions, there were also a number of pictures that required re-framing to match the new colour scheme and the interior design of the refurbishment.

To further enhance the interior design clocks and other accessories were also supplied.
