| Branching Out triptych, |
|
|
|
Organically inspired with a contemporary flair.
Bernard creates many wall art commissions, for public spaces such as hotels, restaurants, medical centers, as well as residential.
He first sketches the design on the metal sheet, then frees the form with a hand-held plasma cutter. Once the design is cut, he meticulously 'bevels' the edges with a grinder, giving the final piece an organic and soft finish.
Commissions have included:
The Ritz-Carlton (Denver)
Fairmont-Ghirardelli Hotel( San Francisco),
Macy's (New York)
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (Dallas)
Invesco Bank (Atlanta)
The Ivy Hotel (Minneapolis)
Vdara Spa (Las Vegas)
Ameristar's Black Hawk Casino and Hotel
VIP lounge of the MGM Resort and Hotels
The set of Two and a Half Men
Pasadena Showcase House
Sunset Idea House in Truckee, CA
City Hall of Malakoff (north of Paris)
Teneya Lodge, Yosemite
Kaiser Permanente (Capitol Hill, Vacaville, etc)
Most of the wall art panels are created in metal of 3/16" to 1/2" thickness, depending on the overall size. Most panels have wall stand-offs from 1" to 2" inches (optional). This gives the panels depth and dimension.
Any variations of the designs are possible, we welcome custom designs.
As finishes, we offer many finishes including Brushed Steel, Rust, 'Pewter' as well as bronze, copper, brass waterproof metallic coatings.
Stainless steel and bronze casting, as well as custom finishes, such as powder coating, are also an option.
Enjoy....
