LIVERPOOL corporate law firm Brabners Chaffe Street has unveiled its latest commitment to the region – the largest-ever commission from local artists by a law firm in the region.
The firm has announced that it has bought more than 70 works of art for its offices in Liverpool, Manchester and Preston.
The work features interpre- tations of major landmarks in all three cities and
has already sparked intense interest among the cultural cognoscenti in the firm’s clients and staff.
Chief executive Janet Pickavance said that Brabners’ recent move to headquarters in Liverpool’s Horton House provided an opportunity to reflect for a fresh look at the city’s world-famous skyline.
“More than merely have the somewhat cliched views of a beautiful city, we wanted something original, inspiring and eye-catching. It made sense to have that view produced by local artists who understood our new surround- ings,� she said.
“But instead of concentrating on Liverpool, we decided to extend the project to both Manchester and Preston. The results have been phenomenal. The works have been a fantastic topic of conversation for staff and clients alike, and have provided a wonderful visual lift for everyone.�
The collection, which is displayed in meeting rooms, reception and staff areas includes canvases and fused glass installations by Liverpool-based David Hibbert and Charlotte Melton.
