Renting
A Painting or a Sculpture
Corporate rental clients for Andrew Benyei's work
include Fraser & Beatty (law office), consulting firms and advertising
agencies.
But it is the Benyei sculptures that frequently speak to
the employees, given their subtle statements on the workplace.
Successful rentals often turn into successful sales whether by
the corporation, or by their visitors. By offering an alternative showplace
for Benyei work, rental programs provide visibility to potential buyers.
Many companies and individuals chose commissions as a method of personal
commemoration. The process begins and ends as a partnership.
An element of trust must exist on both sides, with the client expressing
their wishes, and the artist listening and hearing them. But the end
result can be truly magical.
Airboss of America Inc. told Benyei they wanted the corporate message
to be heard: Nothing can stop an Airboss tire. The
result was a memorable, 6-foot wall sculpture that not only portrays
the strength of the product, but also does it with a gentle humour that
all clients and staff can relate to.
Andrew's work has been rented several times for film productions, including
the Tim Allen film "The Santa Clause" and also the fact that
people can rent for their homes as well.
For Xycorp Inc., an employment agency for computer professionals, Benyei
modified his existing piece Common Interest to incorporate
the company name and logo. This created an eye-catching focus for the
reception area of their very modern office suite.
Private commissions range from family sculpture portraits (celebrating
a special birthday or anniversary), to paintings of houses, gardens
and boats, and memorable occasions or memories of times past.
Andrew's
work is available for rent from the Art Gallery of Mississauga, Mississauga,
Ontario and the Etobicoke Arts Council, Toronto, Ontario and from the
artist directly. rates are reasonable and rental periods range from
3 months to up to several years.
