CID – Kensington High Street Apartment

With a budget outlined, Art Contact was able to deliver a strong initial proposal which was diverse in content and presented a wide variety of options that the client was able to consider, happily in the knowledge that all were feasible and within budget.

CID Interiors made the final selection of the artwork and Art Contact project managed all stages of the acquisition, framing and installation.

The art collection consisted of an original, commissioned canvas painting, limited edition and mono-prints and photography. All artworks which required framing were framed in our in-house bespoke framing workshop, where all frames are handmade to complement the artwork.

‘Inosculation’ – Private Commission

The client gave Art Contact a brief for an installation based around an organic and natural form that appeared to be growing across the wall.

Following a selection process, the artist chosen fabricated a striking, yet delicately crafted concrete sculpture in red, earthy tones to compliment stone wall behind.

The artists expert manipulation of the material not only produced a hugely accomplished final installation, but also reflected the interests of the client, who works within a family construction business.

The sculpture was very well received by the client and will be enjoyed for many years to come.

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.

London Bridge Hospital

The brief from the client was to create an interesting vision for patients and staff with no view but an empty grey space without natural light. Virginia Grub from Art Contact set about sourcing the right artist to create an artificial garden set in the atrium by using dichoric etched components to create what we know as ‘The Light Garden’.

The Light Garden was formed and created by using 62 dichroic acrylic sandblasted discs to create floral designs with 48 fins placed along the face of the building which reflects from the mirrored wall opposite. This created an explosion of colours when the natural sunlight streams into the atrium from the south facing windows, as the light passes through and reflects off the glass it is transformed and takes on a journey around the space with flashes of rainbow of colours.
