34 Circus Road

As part of an ongoing project at the HCA Wellington North Hospital, Art Contact was asked to select artworks for 34 Circus Road which has been recently refurbished as an Out Patient Centre.

Bright and colourful Limited Edition prints by Angela Edwards were selected and they were framed in a Pewter moulding to full conservation standard.

In the reception Art Contact commissioned a bespoke photographic collage applied directly to a pair of unsightly doors. The image is based on the Regents Park Bandstand being a local landmark.

Wellington North Hospital Imaging Department

As part of the ongoing refurbishment project Art Contact was asked to supply artworks for the Wellington North Imaging Department on the first floor. Working with the project management team a series of bespoke images were commissioned to complement the theme of the department.

In keeping with the overall design the images were printed onto acrylic panels and installed using appropriate fixings to allow for the complex constraints of this department.

Bespoke photographic collages were commissioned by Art Contact as artworks for the Wellington North Imaging Department to both enhance the design and to create a link to the local community.

A photographer was commissioned by Art Contact to photograph local landmarks and to create a series of photographic collages to enhance the design of the department and to create a sense of place within the locality.

Dominic Pote

Dominic Pote is an artist working somewhere between the film maker and the still photographer. His exposures lasting as long as he keeps moving. Framed by the physical act of walking, his images are both literal and metaphorical journeys. Movements through space so that there remains something of the organic feel of their making. His work reveals the underlying spiritual significance of place. Whether an open landscape or the middle of a city, he presents us with the human experience. That which lies between movement and stillness, between the visible and invisible, between time and eternity.

Dominic Pote studied Photography at Nottingham Trent University from 1997 – 2000 where he attained a 1st class honours degree in Photography in Europe. During his second year his study was divided between two European institutes: Die Hochschule fur Grafik und Buchkunst – Leipzig, Germany and Famu School of film and photography, Prague, Czech Republic

Dominic’s large-scale works have been placed in many private homes as well as public and private collections. Commissioners of his work include Barclays Bank, The British Council and P&O.

Chris Wood

Chris Wood’s medium is light. She uses a range of high and low-tech optical materials to harness patterns of light that suggest ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world.

Her sculptures are simple arrangements creating kinetic patterns in response to the environments in which they are placed. Her work brings a wistful romanticism to a minimalist aesthetic. Chris Wood orders the accidental and makes us reflect on the experience of seeing.

After studying Furniture Design at Middlesex University in the mid 1980s. She then went on to study glass at the Royal College of Art, where she worked on architectural scale projects dealing with light and space.

Chris Wood produces innovative installations for gallery exhibition. She has shown extensively throughout the UK and internationally. Her work is represented in a number of private collections as well as the Shanghai Museum of Glass.

Claire Burke

Claire Burke’s current work is the culmination of 20 years dedication to making beautiful abstract statements. Meditative, tranquil compositions playing with the picture plane with the suggestion of a horizon and landscape. Two textured surfaces juxtaposed, the subtle differences between them emphasised by their apparent simplicity, the work revealing itself to be deceptively detailed upon more prolonged examination. The work is fashioned from Gold and Silver Leaf. The timeless nature of the precious metals and the fascination they hold, adding to the works allure.

A truly international artist, Claire’s work has been sourced for clients both private and corporate. Examples include a gorgeous private ski chalet, The Four Seasons Royal Suite in Riyadh, the cruise ship Brittania, private yachts and of course many beautiful homes. Kleinwort Benson has acquired a significant work for their collection.

Claire graduated from Falmouth School of Art for her foundation, progressed immediately to Central St. Martins to complete her BA(Hons) Painting in 1994 and has never looked back.

Unusually by today’s standards, Claire’s degree show sold out and she was able to continue her career as soon as she graduated. Some of those early relationships with Galleries and Dealers still exist today.

Claire’s work has been exhibited on a global scale in Miami, New York, Switzerland, Singapore and Hong Kong. Claire continues to work with a broad network within the art sector, including interior designers, galleries and consultants.

Much of Claire’s work is now acquired by commission from her purpose built studio and her new works are in high demand.

Charlotte Cornish

Charlotte Cornish is a well established artist producing prints and paintings. The dominant theme of her work is the nature of human experience. Creating tensions and harmonies through the use of colour and form.

Much of the initial inspiration for Charlotte’s work comes from places she has visited and have significance to her. Often using photographs as a starting point, and as the compositions develop, combining elements taken from the photographs with imagery drawn from personal experience. Charlotte is fascinated by the possibilities of colour and colour relationships and the infinite potential they have to create dynamic connections and reactions.

Charlotte Cornish uses acrylic paint for her paintings as it dries relatively quickly. I like to build up numerous layers of poured paint in thin veils, which contrast with more thickly applied paint, creating a raised surface on the canvas. Waiting until the paintings are dry before applying each subsequent new mark allows her the opportunity to remove or modify painted areas, without affecting the preceding layers. I work with the canvases flat on the floor for much of the time. The paintings take at least eight weeks to complete.

Jo Gorner

University, Jo was taught printmaking by Jean Lodge, who studied with S W Hayter at Atelier 17, Paris and who was inspirational in her rigorous approach and experimentation. Jo went on to complete an MA in print at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Printmaking is central to Jo’s practice, though it does not dominate the narrative or dictate the expression. The relief and etching techniques Jo Gorner uses allow space and time to consider an image facilitating the passage from thought to paper.

The quality of the marks Jo achieves, the presence of the hand and incidence of chance, are all integral to her work.

The restorative value of the creative process and the impact of the natural landscape both underpin Jo’s practice. The artwork which results is a sensory, embodied, response to this immersion in the natural environment and her relational encounter with a landscape.

Working with various metals in all their contrasting properties of texture and finish, Mark can make industrial materials appear fluid, malleable and delicate. He continues to study different metals, looking at ways to manipulate and add movement to the material.

Over the past 3 years Mark has been developing ways in which neon and LED’s can complement his sculptures, adding to the movement of a piece and catching the viewer’s eye.

Mark has a strong academic background in art, having studied a BA Hons (International) in Contemporary Art Practice at Leeds University, with a period at the Australian National University at Canberra, and after an MA in European Arts Practice at Kingston University, Surrey.

Wellington South Doctors Lounge

As part of an ongoing project Art Contact was asked to supply artworks for the new Doctor’s Lounge at the Wellington South Hospital.

Julia Brooker was commissioned to produce a number of her abstract paintings on aluminium panels. She has used a colour palate to complement the interior of the Lounge. The paintings were then framed in ‘Wenge’ coloured tray frames.

During the installation a number of doctors came to have a look at the new Doctors Lounge. They were all impressed by the lounge and particularly the artworks.

The creation of Doctor’s Lounges by the HCA Group of Hospitals has been extremely well received by the staff.

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.
