Artist Jason Haufe is an accomplished draughtsman and has been selected for the Dobell Drawing Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW (Sydney, Australia) in 2009, 2008 and 2005. Recently, Haufe gave a talk to the tenants at ‘Craftworks’, the newly completed commercial complex in Mollison street, Abbottsford. Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, Craftworks has been designed by CHT Architects to support and encourage collaborative thinking. The entry foyer of the building acts as an art gallery where artists are invited to talk to the building’s tenants. In the most recent artist’s talk, Jason Haufe held his Abbottsford audience spellbound, when he gave a passionate and informative talk about his artwork and the process used in creating it. Jason said that whilst studying Fine Art at Monash University, he was initially interested in figuration but then gradually moved on to non representational art. It was fascinating to hear him talk about the process he employs to create his large and colourful artworks. In order for the colour harmony to work within the painting and to create its own colour perspective, Jason firstly creates smaller scale versions and drawings. It isn’t until he finds the perfect balance that he proceeds to a larger canvas and then he only paints one canvas at a time. Each tone is determined and premixed before commencing on a large canvas. Jason talked about how he uses various colours to move the viewer’s eye around the painting. The shapes he says are also a way of creating perspective, adding to that push and pull and optical illusion. The delineation of some shapes was inspired by Picasso and Cezanne. All in all it was a very informative and passionate talk and the audience, who were mostly architects could immediately relate it to their own discipline.

Artist Mike Reed joins Corporate Art Rentals

Mike’s works employ a graphical and colourful approach, utilising colour enhancing techniques and Fuji Flex paper mounted on a light but strong Dibond aluminium frame.

Mike Reed is extremely well known in Advertising Film Production but now explores opportunities to create even more success in photography and the publishing of unique creative photobooks. Mike’s work is influenced by a phenomena called Pareidolia which is a type of illusion of light, shadow and form representing something that is clear and distinct; usually in clouds but also people have claimed to see Elvis or the Messiah in the discolourations of a burnt slice of toast, or the image of Vladimir Putin in the soapy scum of a shower curtain. Mike’s works employ a graphical and colourful approach, utilising colour enhancing techniques and Fuji Flex paper mounted on a light but strong Dibond aluminium frame.

A premium lounge, dedicated to serving high profile airline customers, is now proudly displaying paintings by artists John Aslanidis, Donald Ramsay and Martin King.

John Aslanidis’s paintings give a visual expression to the physicality of sound and can be both mesmerising and soothing. John’s paintings are collected internationally and he was recently commissioned to paint a 84 sqm wall painting for Longchamp’s Omotesando boutique in Tokyo. A predominant theme in Donald Ramsay’s paintings is his interpretation of the Australian natural wilderness landscape. Donald’s studio is located on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road and many of his paintings are from that area. Martin King is acknowledged widely as one of Australia’s leading printmakers and many of his works on paper trace the movement of rain shadows and the effect of weather patterns across undulating terrain and vast tracts of desert. His work often expresses the fragility of our relationship with nature.

Two new artists join Corporate Art Rentals

We are delighted to advise that artworks by artists Fiona Halse and Jason Haufe are now available for rent to Corporate Art Rental clients. Both Fiona and Jason are practising artists based in Melbourne and their paintings would look absolutely beautiful in corporate foyers or offices.

LII, MM
Custom NameFiona Halse2229

We are delighted to advise that artworks by artists Fiona Halse and Jason Haufe are now available for rent to Corporate Art Rental clients. Both Fiona and Jason are practising artists based in Melbourne and their paintings would look absolutely beautiful in corporate foyers or offices.

JASON HAUFE
Since the 1990s, Jason has explored various spatial and pictorial ideas within the limited means of geometric abstraction. He combines digital, machine, and handmade processes in the production of collages. Collage is the medium by which the artist explores his concern with drawing. The pieces of paper Haufe uses for collage are photocopies or blank photocopy paper. The photocopies are from source material such as patterns from the inside of envelopes or previous collages, which are often manipulated digitally on a computer and then printed and photocopied. Every time a work is produced, it adds to the sum of material that can be fed back into the process.

FIONA HALSE
Fiona’s work seeks to convey a personal space that is metaphorically associated with the human figure. Form is found through connecting to a deep resonant feeling, reflecting a personalised, generalised space. Whilst her work is lyrical and utilises Tachist approaches, it is formal and has an architectonic basis and explores drawing principles. Pictorial and illusionist devices are utilised to create depth, but ambiguity and privacy are also explored by flattening shapes and focusing on the picture plane.

These three outstanding paintings have just been rented by a medical professional for his new office in Waverley, Melbourne. These large paintings by the artist, Steve Warburton have contributed to the working space being a warm and interesting work environment. Steve’s inspiration for the works follows.
Titles: Mad World, :-(, $. These works are born from a series produced between 2005-2007- the mainstay being oversized machinery parts. My desire to give these large machines a human aspect led me to replace them with monumental heads and figurative sculptural elements. I felt this would make it easier to express emotion and portray the narrative.
As parts of society are becoming increasingly progressive, the position of monuments have come into question. Their initial purpose was to be a symbol of winners. Recently, they have been
removed, toppled and even partially destroyed by demonstrators who have opposing opinions to what they stand for.
Over time, society’s need for monuments providing a link to a battle, war or political belief may alter, thus bringing the monument’s position into question.
These 3 works were part of a series of works in a show in May 2019. The theme of the show being a comment on the concept of ‘Fake News/Alternative Facts’, which has been a talking point in
both the mainstream news and social media of late. It is used by certain elements of the population who don’t agree with comments said about them or disagree with their direction.
In these paintings, the signs ( 🙁 $ ) represent the shock and simplicity of the hashtag trend. The use of the white lines in these works is isolationist, a device to separate certain objects or people from reality – an alternative fact.

Choosing artwork that blends with your spiritual aesthetic

Corporate Art Rentals recently completed a project with an established financial company with its offices at La Trobe St, Melbourne. The new artworks were required to complement the renovations that had been recently completed in the offices.

Corporate Art Rentals recently completed a project with an established financial company with its offices at La Trobe St, Melbourne. The new artworks were required to complement the renovations that had been recently completed in the offices. The company was interested in enhancing their décor with original artwork for the office, which would also be a conversation starter with clients and customers who frequently visit the office.

1

Dagmar Cyrulla at Corporate Art Rentals consulted with the company to provide a total of 15 artworks for the offices, comprising work by artists John Aslanidis and Maryanne Coutts. The artworks for offices were finalised following extensive consultation with the company’s interior designer. The artworks were installed by Ellis Art Installations, our key supplier.

2

When clients are interested in installing office wall art, they usually have an idea of the kind of art they visualise seeing hung up in their offices. They may not necessarily have an eye for art and be familiar with different artwork styles, but a preference in colours and broader themes is a good starting point to identify the best artwork for offices. In the case of this project, the client was conscious of choosing paintings for office that were aligned with their spiritual and aesthetic preferences, which helped narrow the artwork options. Other factors borne in mind were the appropriate artwork sizes for the offices, since the chosen artwork for office space must be in proportion to it.

3

The client was keen to finalise artworks that were appealing and a conversation starter, while also being consistent with their spiritual and aesthetic preferences. Bearing these requirements in mind, Dagmar selected ‘Sonic Network No. 1’, a 3 metre artwork by Aslanidis as the statement piece for this project, and smaller works by both Aslanidis and Coutts for other office areas. It was great to see the company’s staff interact with the paintings as they were being hung. The final result was a great finishing touch to a world class interior design fitout.

Ian Wells’ exhibition, “The Difficult Third”. Closes 16 Sept ’17.

Corporate Art Rentals’ artist, Ian Wells is exhibiting his work at the Five Walls Projects gallery in Footscray. In Ian Wells’ paintings, allusions to tabs, folds and slots and the deliberate misuse of the symbols of cardboard packaging, tease our sense of recall with recognisable forms.

In Ian Wells’ paintings, allusions to tabs, folds and slots and the deliberate misuse of the symbols of cardboard packaging, tease our sense of recall with recognisable forms.

Ian W exhibition

The resultant paintings contain an array of odd and unlikely shapes. Forms are intersected by creases, cut lines and separate panels, interrupting our attention to the bigger picture. Images appear within the paintings, indirectly referencing little-known and indistinguishable forms that exist in industry and consumable products. In the interstitial passages of painting, the viewer is left to recognise and make sense of elements that skirt the boundary of recollection. The viewer’s perceptual re-ordering and ‘filling in’ of these disregarded and frequently discarded forms is an attempt to make sense in an undetermined environment, neither new nor old; an uncomfortable, difficult third.”

Why Choose Original Artworks For Your Office

Artwork for offices is usually the last thing left on the renovation agenda. What is often not understood, is that original artwork makes a difference to the working environment and positively influences a company’s staff.

Artwork for offices is usually the last thing left on the renovation agenda. Even then, many business managers think of hanging prints, rather than original art by Australian artists. But, what is often not understood, is that original artwork makes a difference to the working environment and positively influences a company’s staff. 

Clarendon

Original art for office has a life energy that a print doesn’t offer. It is the result of an artist’s passion and imagination, with each stroke bringing an idea to life. At Corporate Art Rentals, we have often seen people really respond to office wall art. Whenever we hang new works, we are always delighted to see how staff and customers respond and engage with the works. This is especially so for bright & colourful works, such as Peter Griffen’s abstract paintings. These types of works lift not only the office space, but also the spirits of office staff, making their work environment more attractive and conducive towards creative thinking.

Art is also known is inspire and encourage creativity among the workforce. The presence of original art in the workspace helps employees overcome a mental block, since they’re able to look away from their work into something that inspires innovation. While these ideas may be abstract at first, they can be developed further into something that’s more substantial.

Office art is also a good conversation starter, making it a valuable addition to offices that are frequently visited by clients. Original artworks can often also be used to represent the business you’re in, since they would make a client feel comfortable and relaxed, while also making an emotional connection with them in the process. Office wall art can inadvertently help break the ice when meeting clients for the first time, setting the stage for a meeting that’s less intimidating. 

One of the bigger advantages of using original artwork for offices is that they can also double up as a good branding exercise. Commissioning an artwork allows you to suggest brand colours or discuss ways in which the art can effectively represent the brand. Artwork would be a subtler approach to branding without appearing too promotional, since it’s the manifestation of an idea and not just a mere marketing tactic.

Painting for Geoff is a journey of self-discovery and he is constantly pushing himself to the limits of his ability to achieve this. He often feels the aim of his paintings is to punch holes in the gallery walls and let the daylight in, or nightlight depending on the work.

Corporate Art Rentals installed three of Agneta Ekholm’s large artworks in the foyer of the Arcadia residential complex earlier this year. Arcadia is a beautiful building, designed by renowned architects Fender Katsalidis and located in Parkville directly opposite the Royal Park. The building’s residential association, lead by Gloria and her team, wanted to give the building’s residents an opportunity to meet the artist and better understand the design philosophy and technical process behind her paintings. Consequently they organised a fantastic evening of food and wine to celebrate the new work and to meet Agneta. We were all surprised at the interest shown and the large turn out of residents . We discussed art and had great conversations about Agneta’s works and how paintings can enhance foyers, offices and corporate work spaces.

The project had to be completed within a week, since a board meeting was scheduled to take place immediately after the installation. To ensure the artwork could be installed in time, Corporate Art Rentals worked closely with the Australian artist John Aslanidis, who is known for his abstract style of paintings that define a space between sound and vision, and our art installation
specialist, Ellis Art Installations. 

We generally recommend a selection of artwork for our clients’ offices, so that they have a variety of works to choose from when designing their office. At all times we keep in mind their requirements and the aesthetics that make up their interiors. Clients select the artwork that they want to rent and we help them to install it correctly. In this instance, management at the Downer Group had already selected an artist and the artwork that they wanted to hang in their workspace.

As the pictures below indicate, they made an excellent choice using office wall art that clearly complements their boardroom’s existing design. The artwork’s warm tones are highlighted through the use of timber in the boardroom. The end result is a space that encourages discussion and decision making and promotes productivity and creativity amongst their workforce.

By renting John Aslanidis’ artwork, the Downer Group is supporting and encouraging the work of local Melbourne artists and showcasing it in one of the most important spaces in their Melbourne office.

John Aslanidis paintings rented to 580 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne.

Recently, Corporate Art Rentals hung two very large artworks in the foyer of 580 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne. The end result looks magnificent and is another example of a business being transformed by hiring paintings from Corporate Art Rentals.

Recently, Corporate Art Rentals hung two very large artworks in the foyer of 580 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne. The building’s owners wanted to enhance the look of their already impressive foyer, so they engaged Corporate Art Rentals to propose artworks for lease. Our art consultant, Dagmar Cyrulla, gave the client several options and they decided to hire paintings by the Melbourne and New York based artist, John Aslanidis. John’s paintings demand attention and create quite a talking point. “For over twenty years artist John Aslanidis has defined a space between sound and vision, through seeking to create ‘paintings you can hear and sound you can see’. His paintings take the form of numerous interlocking and exponentially expanding concentric circles that are painstakingly mapped and masked out, and evolve from an intersection between music and painting. (Excerpt from ‘Sound Spheres’ by Marguerite Brown, for Art Monthly Australia).”

We utilised the skills of art installation expert, Tom Ellis from Ellis Art Installation, to hang these large artworks. Hanging paintings may look easy, but we can assure you there is a lot in it and if you don’t know what you are doing, not only do you run the danger of damaging expensive artworks, you can also damage a client’s walls as well as hang the works out of alignment. We worked with Tom and was impressed by his care and expertise in getting John’s paintings perfectly aligned at the right height and also securely fastened to the wall. Tom also uses ‘lockable’ fixtures to ensure that the artwork cannot be removed by the wrong person.

The end result looks magnificent and is another example of a business being transformed by hiring paintings from Corporate Art Rentals.

Update of artwork at the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (VACC)

Recently, we updated the artwork at the VACC in Melbourne to coincide with the appointment of a new VACC Director.

Recently, we updated the artwork at the VACC in Melbourne to coincide with the appointment of a new VACC Director. Every two years, the VACC appoints a new Director who chooses art work for their Head Office’s entry foyer at St Kilda Rd. This time the work is from Corporate Art Rentals’ artist Steve Warburton. Steve works and exhibits in Melbourne and completed his Fine Arts degree at Monash University. He has exhibited widely, in group and solo exhibitions and his paintings and drawings are held in collections Australia-wide and internationally. Steve’s works are arresting, to say the least. As we hung the works, it was interesting to observe how people reacted as they passed through the VACC foyer. Almost everybody stopped and pondered the works. The common consensus was that people loved the transformation to the entry foyer and that Steve’s works were powerful, arresting and emotional. We are delighted by the outcome and very proud to be able to exhibit Steve’s work at the VACC.

Corporate Art Rentals welcomes artist Geoff Harrison

Corporate Art Rental’s newest artist, Geoff Harrison, completed his Bachelor Of Arts (Fine Art), at RMIT in Melbourne. He also completed the prestigious Drawing Marathon, run by Graham Nickson at the Adelaide School of Art.

Corporate Art Rental’s newest artist, Geoff Harrison, completed his Bachelor Of Arts (Fine Art), at RMIT in Melbourne. He also completed the prestigious Drawing Marathon, run by Graham Nickson at the Adelaide School of Art. Geoff also partook in an Associated Diploma in Art and Design, as well as gaining his Associate Diploma in Cartography at RMIT. Painting for Geoff is a journey of self-discovery and he is constantly pushing himself to the limits of his ability to achieve this. He often feels the aim of his paintings is to punch holes in the gallery walls and let the daylight in, or nightlight depending on the work. Geoff’s works are atmospheric, peaceful and draw the viewer into their space. They will enhance and brighten any office area or foyer, transforming it into a professional and energised space for both staff and clients. Geoff’s paintings can be rented for as little as $66.00 per month.

Check out Geoff’s work below.

The Party’s Over by Merryn Trevethan

Merryn Trevethan, a Singapore-resident, Melbourne-native artist is proud to present a body of work that marks a chapter of her practice entitled “The Party’s Over”.

Merryn Trevethan, a Singapore-resident, Melbourne-native artist is proud to present a body of work that marks a chapter of her practice entitled “The Party’s Over”. Merryn’s inspiration stems from her observation of the urban landscape of globalised cities.

The show’s title “The Party’s Over” is a line from Leonard Cohen’s song A Street. Influenced by recent geopolitical changes occurring across the world, Trevethan observes a city that is constantly in flux and is continuously re-inventing itself. While specific buildings are not readily identifiable in the work, Trevethan captures the essence of each city scene with chromatic lines and varied hues. She depicts a landscape without horizon- using colour to collapse the picture plane. Each painting is not a portrait of any specific city but a convergence of urban cues

Exhibition Title: The Party’s Over…
Venue: The Australian High Commission, Singapore
2 AUG – 30 SEP 2016

Her selected engagements in Singapore include being awarded First Prize for the DRIVE – Public Art Open Call for her work “Accelerator City”, where she painted a mural on an outdoor wall at Gillman Barracks. In 2015, Trevethan was commissioned to create artwork for the new Facebook Headquarters at South Beach Tower, Singapore, as part of the Facebook Artist in Residence Program and is currently in the process of expanding this project.
