Private Client – Bathroom Picture

We were approached by our client to supply a bathroom picture for her Chelsea home. See our Purchasing Services.

Bathrooms have always caused significant problems for displaying artworks and above a bath is the most difficult. The steam rising from the bath causes particular issues with moisture.

A photograph was chosen which was printed directly onto Di-bond to mitigate the moisture issues.

The image chosen for the bathroom picture was ideal for this. By printing directly onto the di-bond some of the metallic surface was allowed to show through which work particularly well with this image.

The printed panel was then floated into a simple wooden tray frame stained to echo other items in the room.

Private Client – Sanchez Restoration

Painting restoration required to painting damaged by the rolling up of the painting that had been removed from its stretcher.

This artwork had been purchased by our client. For easy transportation and the painting had been removed from the stretcher and rolled up. This had resulted in extensive cracking and significant losses due to the rolling of the canvas and the lack of tension.

Art Contact was asked to arrange the restoration of the damaged painting and to supply a new stretcher and tray frame.

The painting was carefully packed for transportation, fixed to a new stretcher and re-touched. Once completed the painting was fixed into its new tray frame and the artwork returned to our client.

The painting was then installed by the client.

Regent Street Management – Venture House

Regent Street Management Direct required artwork for the reception area at Venture House that would make a strong impression to clients and staff alike. These large bold abstract paintings are visually striking without being intrusive on the space which echoes the company’s approach to their operations.

Framed in stained-black ash, this project is a prime example of how keeping framing simple creates no distractions from the artworks themselves.

This combined with the curvature of the wall and the locations of the artworks in relation to the lighting created an enticing outcome.

As we have our own in-house framing team, we are able to find tailored solutions to our clients’ framing requirements. Subsequently, we oversee projects through from conceptualisations to installation without the need to out-source meaning that we are in control of delivering outcomes that will meet, if not surpass, our clients’ expectations.
