We partnered with our client to acquire and commission site-specific artwork from regional artists. Our goal was to weave together a diverse array of artistic styles and expressions. The resulting collection, notable for its abstract and vividly colorful pieces, encourages contemplation with its thought-provoking patterns and geometric shapes. This carefully curated art program is a fundamental component of our client’s vision, transforming their workspace into a modern and inviting environment that transcends mere functionality to become truly special.
Interior design: Shape. Photography: Ben Premeaux.
Created through a precise and distinctive process of drawing, tracing, taping and painting, hand-cutting, perpetual addition and subtraction, Leigh Suggs’ work is simultaneously tactile and conceptual, methodical and instinctual. Through the manipulation of shadows, color and reflections, the intricate cut and seemingly woven patterns bring the painted surface to life.
Artist Meg Arsenovic draws on a dramatic event from the earth’s distant past to explore the history of the Tidewater Region in her series Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater.
“It happened 35 million years ago. A meteor the size of Manhattan sailed west over the Atlantic Ocean, crashing directly into what is now the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. The impact, considered one of the most significant in the history of the planet, cracked open the earth’s crust, tearing fault lines from Richmond to the continental shelf. A massive wall of water shot 30 miles high, sending waves past the Blue Ridge Mountains. The collision devastated the entire east coast, engulfing shores from Georgia to New England, sending a tidal wave careening back across the Atlantic ocean, flooding the western coastlines of Europe and Africa. The remaining crater, as deep as the Grand Canyon, now lies buried at the southern gateway to the Chesapeake Bay.
This “impact event” has become the central metaphor in a series reexamining the history of my home, the Tidewater Region. Sifting through memories of elementary school lessons and Disney versions that shaped my early views, this series illustrates the Chesapeake Bay’s true significance and long range impact on the American story.”
Natalie Cheung’s art emerges from the interplay of light, gesture, and the natural world, creating pieces that range from calm to intensely dynamic. Utilizing alternative photographic processes, she captures direct experiences onto photosensitive paper without a camera. Her work, an exploration of abstraction and the essence of photography, reflects a deep engagement with the medium’s history and its evolving relationship with reality.
