Please tell me if you disagree, but when you walk into a room with bare naked walls.
Don’t you find it unnerving?
The blandness, the sterility, the lack of feeling or atmosphere.
There’s something missing and it feels quite spooky. Please don’t get me wrong,
I’m not prudish or anything but there’s something about naked wall that just needs….. Covering
Especially in offices. Recently we visited the ultra modern head office of a large UK
Company to talk about the Art that they needed.
The Art was conspicuous by its absence and the walls were whispering for
something Modern, Abstract but with longevity to cover their empty
nakedness. They didn’t want to make a very loud statement but were
happy to remain in the background providing a solid sense of shelter
and security for the inhabitants of the building.
Nevertheless they were… undressed. This also was a cause of tension
amongst humansin the building who felt subconsciously that there was something
lacking in their work environment.
Fortunately the management were enlightened enough to realise all this before it was too late
and had decided to call ArtNova.
The receptionist was excited by the thought of modern art on the walls and the PA to the MD
expressed a sense of relief that a solution was finally in sight.
The MD was away until next week. So we did our survey,put the Nikon coolpix to work,
took measurements and wrote notes into a Pukkapad.
Back at the office we got busy with ArtSitu FotoMontage creating various options for them to choose from.
We came up with 30 various options for the Seven areas that needed art.
We then emailed these to the PA and she was easily able to choose the seven pieces.
With a little help from the other staff I presume.
We delivered the paintings and everyone was happy.
