Putting Art Together: A Loft Above

Too many windows to hang art? Try sculpture!

February 19, 2016

Bobbi Walker,

Colin from Griffith Interior Design loves art. While working on the LODO bachelor pad above, he brought a client into the art gallery to see how we could put the finishing touches on his loft. The large-scale artwork the client was drawn to complimented the masculine design aesthetic Colin had created.

But the entire west wall of the loft was windows, a common art challenge in Colorado—where do I hang the art? We recommended a Jonathan Hils sculpture that would create shadow play from the natural light. Munson Hunt’s large-scale organic wood wall reliefs were placed across the room to add an organic component to the otherwise industrial space. Sculpture is a playful way to anchor a big, open space and provide unexpected sophistication to a collection.

Check out the art pieces selected for the bachelor pad:

Munson Hunt: “Bark Pair”
charred and graphite dusted cottonwood wall reliefs, 62" x 17" x 4" each

Ben Strawn: “Thin Place”
acrylic on canvas, 76”x66”

Jason Lucas: “Redemption 5”
mixed media on panel, 56”x42”

Jonathan Hils: “Amalgamation”
wood and steel, 87”x60”x20”

Robert Buelteman: "Golden Columbine”
chromogenic development print, 47.5”x57.5”

Bobbi Walker has been actively involved in the arts community in Denver, as the founder of Walker Fine Art, a loft-style gallery featuring original contemporary art, since 1999.
