M3 Capital Partners

Art Contact was asked to assist M3 Capital Partners with the display of some of the photographs of development sites they have been involved in. Images were selected and enhanced by adding strategic colour to highlight areas within the image to give a ‘pop-art’ feel to their original photographs.

Images were selected for a number of wall recesses. These images were printed onto Di-bond panels and floated inside perspex boxes which were designed to fit into the recesses.

One large image, again printed onto Di-bond and floated in a large perspex box was installed leaning against the wall on a slightly raised shelf in the reception.

Other items were mounted and framed in specially milled Oak moulding to match the other woods use in the design of these offices. The images were again selected from detail photographs of their development projects.

The installed artworks were so well received that we have since supplied similar imagery to their offices in the USA.

Royal Marsden Hospital

Art Contact was approached by the Royal Marsden Hospital to source suitable artworks for their refurbished ward. Work was selected for the reception area, corridors, consulting rooms and the patient rooms. A woodland theme was selected for the reception and corridors with more colourful artist prints for the consulting rooms.

These artworks were framed in a moulding to suit the rest of the decor and were installed on security fixings to ensure that they do not get out of line when cleaned.

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.

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.

Open University

The Open University campus has a large collection of artworks from around the world. Art Contact has been assisting the team at the Open University to maintain, conserve and restore their collection for many years. Most recently Art Contact was appointed to conserve and re-frame where appropriate their large collection of limited edition prints and paintings.

The pictures were largely re-framed in similar moulding so that any combination of artworks could be hung together as required. When required artworks were enclosed behind acrylic covers to add additional protection to vulnerable artworks.
