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.

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

Portland Hospital – Reception and Children’s Reception

The Portland Hospital wanted to create a welcoming and bright atmosphere in the primary areas of the hospital using artworks that were created through photo-montage technique. The artworks, designed by one of our artists, were digitised montages of photographs taken by the artist of landmarks around Great Portland Street and Regents Park which were then mounted onto glass or perspex panels.

The hospital wanted to reflect their service as specialists in Obstrecics, Women’s health and Paediactrics by employing the theme of mother and child through the artworks used throughout the hospital. In the children’s areas a bright and fun colour palette was chosen to complement the interior design while the images were taken from children playing in Regents Park.
