TOP 3 Metal Wall Sculptures | Wall Murals from Artistick’s

Posted on by artisticks

A Historical and Cultural Extravaganza on the Wall Sculpture

Few wall artefacts or installations create a more powerful statement than the one created by a hand-crafted mural.  Murals are pieces of graphic artwork that involve painting directly on the wall or any other permanent substrate and involve a plethora of techniques.  Some of the common techniques used for murals include fresco, mosaic, graffiti and marouflage.  Murals are an excellent choice for large spaces and serve as perfect showstoppers or conversation starters in any room.  Derived from the Latin word “murus” which translates into wall, murals are a great way to introduce art into any space. 

Statement Murals from Artistick’s

We at Artistick’s have a wide variety of Metal Wall Sculptures and metal wall art suitable for a plethora of commercial and residential spaces.  From simple classic pieces that suit minimalistic design sensibilities to highly intricate art pieces, we have murals to suit multiple décor styles, whether contemporary, ethnic, traditional or modern.  One project that we particularly enjoyed executing was the 20 feet customized mural installed at the DGP office in Chennai.  This 8-foot-wide masterpiece has an eclectic mix of historical, cultural and mythological elements making it an extremely attractive, eye-catching piece.  A labour of love and passion, this one sits proudly against a powder blue wall while lending the entire space a traditional and ethnic vibe.

Unique Design

The Metal Wall Sculptures made using white metal and mixed media is handcrafted and has distinctive components that are steeped in culture and tradition.  The entire piece has a subtle sheen and this matte finish gives the piece a dimension of subtle sophistication and under stated elegance.  The metallic colours give the piece a rich look and the palette is a winning combination of dull gold, copper, sage, lilac and iceberg blue.  The colours merge beautifully and seamlessly which gives the piece a timeless appeal.  The art work on the mural is divided roughly into three sections with gold dominating the upper portion of the two corners.  The central part and the lower portion of the mural has a medley of the rest of the hues.  This strategic division creates a wonderful play of light making it the cynosure of all eyes.

Reflection of our Rich History and Culture

Elephants, peacocks, kalashams, sages, Nandi (aka the holy bull), dancing apsaras, temple gopurams, bow and arrows, tigers…. the list of motifs depicted is almost endless.  They are all impeccably handcrafted and are a reflection of our fascinating past.  Intricate patterns, ornate carvings and delicate designs add to the overall beauty of the piece.  The motifs are related to the golden era of the Cholas, Cheras and Pandyas who ruled over Tamil Nadu during the Sangam period.  Architectural elements like pillars and the grandeur of temple towers have been showcased and so are the rock sculptures of Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram).  Mythological figures and mythical creatures like water nymphs, fish, horses and powerful emperors are testament of the rich legacy of the past.  References to the 3rd century coupled with valiant scenes of the battle field make it a visually engaging piece.

The near perfect finishing and flawless execution makes this piece a true treasure and an asset from the house of Artistick’s. With incredibly talented artisans working painstakingly on the mural for close to 35 Days, this metal wall art was completed in 4th March 2019 and handed over to the proud owners at DGP, Chennai.

Largest Metal Wall Mural Project

Posted on by artisticks

Design Concept “Evolution of the wheel and the resultant technological advancement”

Metal: White metal, Size: Width – 70’ and Height – 40’ 

Designed and created by Artisticks

The mural covers the InfoTech Park building in Chennai.

Let’s take a walk down the Memory Lane as we share memories from our Wall mural project.

We rarely realize that a mere phone call we receive could sometimes make a marked difference in our lives. On a mundane evening, we received a call from the Principal Architect Mr. ShivaShankar of Eskay Designs at Chennai. He is well-known for pushing the limits of the Artisticks’ team and making them work on creative concepts along with its implementation on a large scale. We were then, a moderately broad-based team working for leading architects in India.

An InfoTech park was then being developed on prime property on the outskirts of the city, where once the iconic Standard Motors had its core manufacturing facility. Mr. ShivaShankar, as a Designer, rarely chooses to provide a free hand to agencies he commissions on projects. We are now proud to say that we were one of those few teams under his deployment to be given an independent responsibility to design and execute creative solutions on his pet projects.

We had a twin challenge — identifying the subject and size of the wall mural. Being creative in the concept is miles away from conceiving a creative idea in the context of a huge backgrounder landscape, especially when the size would be in the order of 70’ width by 40’ height. The Metal wall mural would hence cover the entire face of the building. Conspicuous to note here is that more than 50′ space was left empty in front of the prime building, which provides a full view of the entire size of the mural, right from the entrance gate. Therefore, we were faced with a challenge to choose the best in size, subject, and the optimum placement of the mural, and thus it landed our team a big opportunity to display our creative abilities

Our team flung into action. After a series of discussions and brainstorming with the team and the Designer, we shortlisted the concept “Evolution of the wheel and the resultant technological advancement”. The concept acknowledges the legendary automobile entity on whose property the InfoTech Park was then built upon. The design was based on a theme featuring the various stages of evolution of the wheel which catalyzed the development of crank and the subsequent engineering and technological modules. All of these were represented with various two-dimensional images to make a wholesome conceptual design.

Both the Architect and the client were quite impressed with the design. We now had the challenge of executing the sheer size of the mural.

  1. We needed to cover a floor size of 70’x40’ to develop the exact enlargement of the design.
  2. We also had to visualize the actual depth required to achieve the final visual impact that we had imagined. 
  3. We had to assess the structural strength of the building to endure such a huge volume of metal.
  4. Finally, on completion, the next challenge was to transport an entire lot of components to the site
  5. and devise ways and means to fix the complex set of components in the process of installing the mural on site. 

The Journey Of Artisticks

Posted on by artisticks

Painting is art to look at, Sculpture is art you walk around, and architecture is art you can walk through” – Dan Rice

It is often said that architecture is a visual art and Artistick’s has shown us that this statement could not be truer. A quick introduction about ourselves.
Based in the southern city of Chennai, Artistick’s is a renowned gallery known for its eclectic range of murals, brass cast banisters, metal cast accessories, decorative doorways, handles, and creative artifacts that are intrinsic to architectural projects, interior decoration, and space styling. It is a one-stop-shop and your ‘goto’ place if you are looking to decorate a space in any style be it contemporary, classic, traditional or ethnic.

A special journey

Started way back in 1989 by a team of graduates from the Government College of Arts & Crafts, Artistick’s today has grown into a formidable team of more than 250 artists from a humble initial number of just three.

From a thatched roof studio to an elaborate gallery in T Nagar, Chennai, and a branch in Bangalore, we have definitely come a long way. All the while, we have chosen to tread the path less traveled whether it is in marketing, production, administration, and HR. Our focus has always been to incorporate an element of art and creativity into any space thereby giving it a distinctive character.

Considering their creative brilliance, attention to detail, and impeccable execution, our team has been an integral part of several success stories. Inspired by and as an ode to these extraordinary experiences that have been a part and parcel of our growth, we bring to you a blog series aptly titled “Down the memory lane”,where we will be sharing snippets of some of our most interesting and challenging projects.
