Partial Client List

Friedman Fine Art is pleased to announce the completion of the

art and graphic program for the Gift of Hope. This non-for-profit

organ and tissue donor network is located in a newly constructed

state of the art facility in Itasca, Illinois. The program took over a

year to complete and consists of photography, custom paintings,

wall murals and environmental & branding graphic applications.

Custom 4' x 8' oil painting on canvas by Chicago artist Peter Hurley. The

painting depicts the Vitruvian Man inside a painted heart with strands of

DNA, birds, trees and other life affirming symbols.

The bulk of the facility was adorned with colored photographs mounted on

acrylic float frames. The entire collection of over 75 pieces is an assortment

of nature related imagery.

The collection consists of large panoramics and smaller series of complimenting imagery.

Timeline wall highlighting significant dates, events and milestones in Gift of

Hope's history. Dimensional elements are printed on Sintra cleated over

seamless printed canvas wall covering.

Process wall highlighting the steps in the donation procedure.

Donor wall highlighting the names of 2011's donors and recipients. The

dimensional elements are fabricated with magnetic sheets on cleated Sintra

for changeability.

The boardroom mission statement was fabricated using painted acrylic

letters below a vinyl strip illustrating photos of donors and recipients.

The adjacent wall in the boardroom has donor and recipient photos mounted

on acrylic that is pucked over a painted wall graphic.

Custom painted wall mural by Chicago artist Harry Sudman depicting

graphic themes used throughout the art collection.

A series of cable hung printed plexi panels are used as room dividers.

Friedman Fine Art is pleased to announce the completion

of the graphics program for Google's new Chicago facility.

The project incorporated sculpture, graphic design and

fabrication.

Friedman Fine Art worked with a Chicago metal artist to fabricate a stylized

city skyline out of bent and welded painted steel rods.

The design concept for the project was to create a "TECH STOP". Similar in look to the Blue Line on

Chicago's CTA maps the Tech Stop theme is tied together by a blue line running through all the interior architectural elements including the wall covering, glass dividers and floor.

Friedman Fine Art worked with a Chicago graphic artist recreating the entire downtown skyline in a stylized Vector graphic referencing photographs to depict each building's particular architectural detail.

Lintec film applied to glass partitions continues the theme.

Painted Sintra letters and graphic elements pinned to wall.

Wherever possible the materials used were LEED certified to adhere to the firm's "green" initiative.

Friedman Fine Art is pleased to announce the recently designed and

fabricated graphic program for the Engis Corporation in Wheeling,

Illinois. The project consists of a history wall along with a product and

application wall. Illustrated below are various views of the 3 walls.

Engis History Wall

This wall exhibits both the history of the Engis Corporation and it’s global presence.

The timeline portion focuses on significant dates, events and milestones in Engis’s

history and the globalization area illustrates the company’s worldwide reach. This

wall consists of printed wall paper with dimensional acrylic elements and a spot for

a future video display.

Detail of Engis Worldwide

The dimensional elements are Lambda prints mounted to

acrylic float frames illustrating the nine countries Engis has

manufacturing facilities.

Detail of the History Wall

The timeline shows the history of the company and products from the 1940’s to the present. The

company’s highlights are illustrated using a combination of 2 and 3 dimensional design elements.

Applications Wall

This wall shows both the application of Engis products and the diverse

industries it serves. A technical/industrial feeling is created through the

use of layered acrylic panels, hardware and custom printed wallpaper.

Diamond Wall

This wall was designed to appeal to Engis's engineering focused clients. Again, custom

wallpaper is used as a background and dimensional panels applied. The charts were

redesigned to show their technical information in a more appealing visual layout.
