“Into our world” Interfax office painting by Sara Sherwood

Cityscape Office Art Commission

This work of art was created specifically for Interfax. Based in the City of London by artist Sara Sherwood. Interfax wanted to show the locations of their offices so we came up with the concept “Into our World”. This symbolises the unification of the company across some of the different countries they are based in: Moscow, London and New York. We chose iconic buildings and the painting flowed from that.

London Skyline Art

The London Skyline was to be the main feature as that is where the office is and where the art will be seen. We wanted to celebrate the beauty of London. Tranquility and harmony was also an underlying theme. With a brief that the art would be noticed and make a statement in a dramatic but gentle and sophisticated way. The aim was to inject a sense of calm to the boardroom to enhance the ambience and facilitate a productive working environment.

The boardroom is a mix of green/yellow ochre, chrome and brown wood. We decided upon white with olive green and golds and silvers to echo this contemporary feel. I added another dimension with the olive green so the colour mix was not too prescriptive.

Individual pieces are called “Kremlin cake” “A break in the clouds” and “Flying high, New York” These titles came intuitively whist painting.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Interfax and I thank them for their business.
