These are just a few of the artists in the south east who have worked with architects.
Bradley.Basso
Bradley.Basso LLP
London
Worked with: Arch. Afrodite Gallenga; Architeam; Dyer & Sey Ltd; Harris Partnership; Donald Insall Associates; Roger Joyce Associates
Bradley.Basso LLP is the creative partnership between Ray Bradley and Denise mt Basso, which produces innovative architectural glass art and design using high-quality craftsmanship with traditional and contemporary glass-working techniques, including highly specialised Venetian mosaic. They go beyond functional and aesthetic requirements, aiming to complement the architecture and the environment on a contextual level and establish an interaction with the public. All pieces are unique and designed as site-specific works. They use transparent, translucent and reflective surfaces that can modulate the transmission of light to orchestrate the boundaries between the interior and exterior; between art, architecture and design, emphasising the interaction between light, form and space.
Natalie Bunce
NatArt
Alton, Hampshire
Worked with: Michael Rhodes (New Zealand)
NatArt's synergy to architects is the ability to adapt and create a complete visual article specifically for the decoration of the environment being designed. Choose from a varied portfolio or commission the artwork to suit your needs. NatArt designs fine art photographs, not images straight out the camera, but creative imagery. Segments of pictures are layered together, even the injection of paint/pencil directly onto the photographic page is incorporated to create a unique, original wall-hanging or free standing frame. NatArt is also a bespoke picture framer specialising in creative mounting and framing. NatArt advises the client before producing a presentational method which suits both the interior decoration and the artwork it protects and enhances.
