TiE incubation space lounge....

openeyeart.2011

Open Eye Art was asked to transform a simple office space into an inspiring lounge  for the TiE Westside Incubator space at Sunset Center in Hillsboro Oregon.

Here are some of the pictures from the space.  The most creative aspect of the whole project was what we were able to do in very little time with a very slim budget!  What Open Eye Art and
Melvin Mark Companies accomplished in the space was a sheer miracle!

Melvin Mark Companies did an incredible job pulling together a beautiful project that is affordable, well managed and perfect for the innovative high tech community of Hillsboro.

I can't wait to hear about the amazing high tech innovations and businesses that will be formed in this incubator.  There are a lot of brilliant infant companies blossoming in this amazing space.

The creative wall has lots of art supplies to help the innovators illustrate their ideas!

Engineers love their white boards.  They wanted a big one for this incubator lounge so Open Eye designed our "Cartoon thought bubble board " to add a little fun to something  that is normally so mundane.

Because the budget was so small I had to hand paint the art myself.

This is my idea of an entrepreneur in the TiE Incubator Space ( quite handsome, don't you think?)

Healing Trees

This is a detail from a series of birch panels that are

painted in acrylic depicting a clump of aspen trees. First we painted the trees then brought them into Legacy and performed our Open Eye Art Transition workshop . Legacy employees, staff and doctors learned about using words as art. Each tree scar became a canvas and place for each person to pay tribute to someone special or just give some valuable healing and life advice. It was a very touching and moving workshop.Legacy now has a series of 6 large panels (4' x 6') that can be hung vertically.  They are not only beautiful but grand and full of inspiration.

Bouncing Through Life

This is one panel from a series of birch panels that are painted with acrylic and a special water soluble crayon. Each employee was able to add their own unique ball. The amazing thing about this series of panels is their sheer size. Each of the 6 panels is 4' x 8'

Most likely this artwork will be hung sideways going down a long corridor. Can you imaging 48' of bouncing balls? Talk about "fun energy"!

Butterfly and Bug Silhouettes

This is one of 15 canvases painted by the Legacy employees, staff and doctors . Each canvas was created by a team of 4 individuals. Open Eye Art later took these back to the studio and painted the black silhouette around each colorful image. All of these were painted silently with beautiful music and a sense of adventure.
