From one vantage point in the room, the dots line up and flatten out the space as in a drawing.  From other places in the room, the space is made disorienting.

Branding Through Art

Bilinear Art is an effective addition to brilliant brand strategy. -Gene Juarez

Bilinear Art Consulting is a Seattle based, woman owned company that specializes in procuring and designing art for individuals, architects, interior designers and commercial clients.   Many clients have found that the work Bilinear Art provided has integrated so successfully with their "image" that our art placement and applications have resulted in being an integral part of their branding strategies.

We are pleased to share a recent collaboration with "MANE Blow Dry Bar" that is exemplary of how a corporate client can benefit from art work that has been specified to enhance not only the work environment but marketing efforts as well. 

MANE Blow Dry Bar Website

In this case, Mane Blow Dry Bar, a new business, was seeking an identity that portrayed a "contemporary stylish, timeless, elegant, and fun" establishment.  The specifications of "3 Women "and "Legs" was the perfect fit.  The client is thrilled with the embodiment of their business' mission.  They are finding the investment in the artwork transcending their walls and ultimately landing in print and web branding and marketing.  We enjoy and encourage projects that go beyond the aesthetics of a space, but also achieve a deeper connection to the overall image and culture of the client.
"Talent not withstanding, we would recommend Krista's services, if only to experience her total dedication to a project as well as her 'eye' for what is remarkable." -Judith and Kate Winquist, co-owners of MANE Blow Dry Bar
