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.

See a selection of images below.

Princess Grace Hospital – Reception and Corridors

Princess Grace Hospital requested that Art Contact commission a series of pictures for the reception and corridors on the ground floor of the Hospital. A selection of images were selected and commissioned and were printed onto clear acrylic.

This style of artwork has become very popular in hospital environments being very easy to maintain. The acrylic panels were then installed using stainless steel panel fixings.

Privet Client – Hull

Following the return of a painting from loan to a gallery where it had been on a touring exhibition, Art Contact was approached by an existing client to arrange for the repair of damage that had occurred while the painting was away at the exhibition.

The painting had received a number of surface scratches and was also suffering from some bruising caused by the stretcher cross bars. The scratches were repaired and a stretcher lining installed to reduce future bruising by the stretcher cross bars.

Portland Hospital – 234 Great Portland Street

Art contact was asked to supply colourful, printed panels using London Zoo as as the theme for the reception and children playing as the theme for the other floor. These panels were also to echo the style established in other areas for children elsewhere in the hospital.

To continue the theme most of the panels were printed onto acrylic or Forex and installed using panel fixings. In this case some images were printed onto ‘White Roc’ for incorporation into the finished wall.

See the images below showing the interpretation of the required themes.

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.

Jayroma

Jayroma, a well-established fashion company, asked Art Contact to source and frame vintage black and white fashion photography for their office reception in Tottenham Court Road. They wanted to avoid artwork that is widely reproduced and for the focus of the photographs to be on the models and what they were wearing.

To really utilise the space, instead of only using large photographs we created a montage of smaller images that exhibit the elegant and chic styles of the 1950s. The clean-cut black and white photographs, mounts and frames created the sophisticated look that Jayroma wanted to portray and gives a professional first impression to all who enter the office.
