Katherine Jones is a contemporary British artist who combines painting and traditional printmaking techniques, bringing together disparate narratives in hyper-real or folkloric spaces.

Central to Katherine Jones’ print works is a subtle tension between security and vulnerability. The recurring motif of the house, often set within natural environments, becomes a lens through which these ideas are explored, with structures that feel both familiar and stable while suggesting a quiet sense of uncertainty beneath the surface. #Printmaking #ArtCollection #layedstoriest #ArtConsultancy

The Caretaker awakes. After a millennia of slumber, it must again usher its minions into the expanse. It must sustain. It must replenish. So it guides its horde out to the stars, visiting countless worlds to restart the cycle. For an eternity the cycle has repeated, minding and tending this garden of worlds. Now it is time for the garden to give back. This event has come to be known as The Harvest.
Aiming to capture a moment of awe, the beams reach to their origin, emulating a cathedral-like atmosphere in the vein of Hugh Ferriss, while borrowing inspiration from Micheal Whelan’s landscapes. All in the effort of capturing a sense of how small we are in relation to the cosmos.

In her hands, a portrait isn’t just paint and shadow; it’s a construction of social documents and poetry. By using a manual typewriter to form the features of her subjects, she reminds us that our identities are inextricably linked to the words and laws that surround us.
We believe that art should do more than simply "fit the room." It should challenge the viewer to see the world from a different perspective.
This year’s curation focuses on the "social heart", matching our clients with works that act as mirrors to their own values and windows into the lived experiences of others.
Central to this year’s exhibition is the work of Leslie Nichols. Her "Textual Portraits" go beyond traditional likeness; they construct the subject out of the very words, poems, and social documents that have shaped their lives.

Art Acumen 3i | Sue Arrowsmith
Sue Arrowsmith’s works explore the shifting rhythms, textures, and colors of the natural world. By immersing herself in nature and translating its nuances into abstract compositions, she reflects transformation as a process of deep observation and reinterpretation.
The artist’s journey begins on foot, photographing trees in her local area on 35mm slide film. Once processed, these moments are projected onto her studio walls, serving as the blueprint for her fluid, high-speed painting process. Working on prepared aluminium panels Arrowsmith uses inks and acrylics to build layers where drips and blobs accumulate into an unfolding abstraction.
The integration of precious metals has become a cornerstone of her practice, allowing for a dynamic play with light. As the environment changes throughout the day, the images appear to dance and move across a surface that is never truly still.
Spotlight on Louisa Boyd’s sculptural prints - part of a “paper collection” for our client’s working floors.
Boyd’s practice is a masterclass in the stewardship of craft - blending heritage techniques like bookbinding and hand-marbling with contemporary sculptural forms.

Always a pleasure to place Xan Padrón’s photographic work. It is a celebration of community in motion, a visual reflection of the rich diversity that defines urban life.
Though not a sociologist by training, Padrón approaches the street as a living stage, where everyday gestures, clothing, and rhythms reveal the cultural identity of a place. His images capture not just individuals, but the collective energy of neighbourhoods, cities, and shared spaces.
Each photograph is a portrait of place, shaped by the people who move through it. A commuter walking the same route each morning carries a different rhythm than someone exploring a street for the first time. These subtle differences speak to how we belong, how we adapt, and how our environments shape us in return.

Richard’s practice begins with walking; spending time in the landscape as an act of attention and respect.
Grounded in ecological understanding, his paintings emerge from long‑term connection to place, shaped by memory and close observation.
This is a practice rooted in stewardship: listening to the land and allowing its character to lead the work.

Crystal Towers is a generative art series, mimicking the organic growth patterns of crystals, reimagined through the lens of urban massing data. A powerful intersection of human creativity and machine intelligence!
We brought these monochrome visions to life, though bespoke framing - including a thin slip of colour to connect the works with the interior design palette.
