Reflections in Design
Overview
Large-scale Artworks created by Twyla Gettert were commissioned for the Lobby of Brooks Fiber Optics, St. Louis, MO- ‘Geometrics’ a colorful series of four 36″x72″ original acrylic paintings for the reception area and three horizontal 48″x72″ -Line Series- acrylic, metallic powder, and ink artworks for another area. The Line Series style was selected by the client because it was reminiscent of fiber optics.
Goals
Color was the predominant factor in this project as the commissioned paintings and a suspended two-story high purple metal sculpture were the only artworks in a monochromatic 5-story atrium lobby. I was told to bring a lot of color into the art. It was activating a very spacious atrium.
Process
The Artist was contacted by the art consultant to work with her and the architect in Nashville, TN. to create art for a new building and beautiful space that had a five-story black granite wall with water running over it. The artwork was chosen by style and mood from Twyla Gettert’s portfolio of existing works. No pre-drawings were required of the artist. Through close collaboration and communications, the project was completed and the space was transformed.
