Artiq's art direction for a leading algorithmic trading firm unites technological innovation, storytelling and the energy of the capital's emerging art scene.
For the new office of a leading algorithmic trading firm, Artiq worked alongside Squire & Partners to develop an art direction that reflects the company’s technological edge while connecting it to London’s wider creative landscape.
The resulting collection brings together highlights from the client’s existing holdings with a new selection of UK-based artists whose practices explore bold storytelling, graphic composition and the evolving relationship between technology, architecture and the city. Together, the works echo the innovation and forward momentum at the heart of the client’s business while introducing a distinctly human and creative perspective.
Set against a light, sophisticated interior of neutral tones, natural wood and pockets of greenery, the collection introduces bold colour, movement and visual energy throughout the office. The result is a cohesive art direction that reinforces brand identity while creating a sense of connection to the contemporary creative scene beyond the workplace.
Ben Newman is an artist and illustrator whose playful practice explores how colour, shape and character can communicate ideas and stories. He builds his paintings from pieces of plywood, layering geometric forms before finishing them with varnish, lacquer and house paint. This tactile process creates bold, rhythmic compositions that bring a sense of curiosity and movement to the collection, reflecting its wider focus on graphic energy, storytelling and contemporary interpretations of the city.
