How to acquire your own sculpture?

Frequently asked questions

How do I know I’ll love the custom sculpture you make for me?

By the time you commission a work from Mainartery, you’re typically fully committed to the
style and concepts behind the work. We don’t move from one stage to the next without
full approval. Our approach has consistently turned the occasional reservation into expectation
and delight when clients grasp our ability to understand their needs.

How easy is it to work with you if I’m interstate or overseas?

Many of my (our) projects are for interstate or international clients. Communications technology makes it easy not only to talk, but also to exchange visuals and virtual mock-ups of the sculpture in development, and how it will look in your location. Where substantial and valuable works are involved, the commissioning process often benefits from an initial face-to-face meeting to cement early agreement on the scope of the project, as well as a site visit during installation.

How can I be confident that a sculpture will look and feel right in my space?

We show you detailed images of our designs and sculptures, and immerse you in a full and engaged understanding of the work you wish to acquire. We also offer a service that digitally overlays your sculpture onto photos of your proposed installation location for an accurate sense of the style and scale of the work in your surroundings.

How do you handle installation of the work?

We take responsibility for advice or actual installation whenever it is required. Smaller to medium sized sculptures usually stand on their own plinth and base. Larger works may require setting foundations or special fixings dependent on its final location. Even if we are not involved in the final installation, we often lend a consultative eye to our client’s contractor.

Do you guarantee safe delivery?

We pay meticulous attention to the handling and transport of your artwork. Our packaging is designed to withstand the most severe conditions, including falls. We also use trusted, specialist couriers. For extra peace of mind, we recommend appropriate transit insurance.

How do you guarantee your quality?

Our sculptures are made using the best processes and grades of materials so they can become legacies for the future. Providing the sculpture’s installation environment is fit for our recommendations, and that our scheduled minor preventive maintenance is upheld, there is no reason why your sculpture will not outlive you and several generations beyond.

What is your refund and return policy?

We’ve yet to receive a refund or return request in 28 years. However, in the event that you are not totally satisfied with a purchase from our range, we offer a full refund, minus packaging and shipping costs, or a credit towards another artwork.

Description

‘Sun Dial’ and ‘Triumph of the Phoenix’ were both custom commissions for the Saudi Crown Prince’s palace in Riyadh.

Working to bring out the full meaning of the original designs, while communicating closely with designers and architects from Cracknell Dubai, Todd Stuart developed, constructed, shipped, delivered and installed the two perfect sculptural forms within the palace grounds, both of which act as cues for daily reflection.

Sun Dial, which points to the passing of time, has a daily prayer from the Qur’an embedded in its front and rear surfaces in Arabic calligraphy of mirror polished stainless steel. The prayer itself offers praise to God, and asks for guidance from him alone.

‘Triumph of the Phoenix’ elevates and completes the iconic form of the date palm leaf in a way that sees it’s Verdigris tinted surface shimmering for passers-by: an effect caused by a complex play of positive and negative space. At night the flame-like column is lit from within: the illumination enhanced by the reflective bronze patina of the form’s interior.

Created as legacy artworks that will stand the test of time, these high visibility sculptural forms meaningfully embed opportunities for reflection within the landscape.
