AbelsonTaylor – Wall Art Contest

Prior to our office relocation, AbelsonTaylor employees had the opportunity to enter an art contest, where three lucky winners would have their murals displayed on our walls. The criteria for the work was based on those that had strong geometry, art-deco influenced design; combining those aesthetics with compositions that focused on merging creativity and science/medicine. We also wanted to mix and match various artwork throughout the space in keeping with the creative wall art vibe we were looking for. These are the winners.

Creative Heartbeat is a piece of artwork specifically designed for the cafe wall. It embodies the atmosphere of interaction and collaboration which will be reflected in the space. Inspiration was taken from AT’s creative healthcare past fused with its new home, a historic Art Deco building. This gave rise to the working theme of “Science x Art Deco”. The final piece is a future facing transitional style that captures AT’s approach to humanizing data and producing engaging, thought provoking creative.

Eric wanted to have something bold, colorful, modern and abstract. Jack Etheridge supplied the line “THINKING OUTSIDE THE LOOP”, which I thought was perfect for the new location and as a mantra for AT. The “GO” piece was something that was also multi-facteted, much like the art itself. It is directional, inspirational and hopefully provides a rally call to great things to come.

Creativity can often be misunderstood as only pertaining to the visual form. Colin wanted to bring attention to and unify other forms of creativity such as research and communication. The DNA and heart imagery symbolize both AT’s health and wellness focus and also that creativity is at its core.
