One-of-a-kind Art!

The CEO of Auer Precision, a high end manufacturing company, came to Velocity Design looking for help creating a very unique, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork. The company is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and, as part of the celebration being held this month, the CEO wanted to present to the founder of the company an original piece of artwork that highlighted the founder's accomplishments over the last 4 decades.
The Velocity team was charged with creating the concept for the artwork and with the art production itself. Velocity suggested using Auer Precision's own resources and unique skills to create a 3-D frame and substrate for the painting and digital art. The craftsman at Auer went to work on the frame while Velocity began the art creation. It was decided that a portrait of the founder, John Auer, along with a collage of "old time"photos and logos would fit the bill. The finished piece was made entirely of stainless steel. Here is the end product:



The piece was a huge hit! The client was thrilled and the guys at Velocity got to do some painting, which is always a blast!
