Artwork Commissions

Bespoke Art, Custom Made

 

Working in porcelain tile as both surface and storytelling medium, Bauer creates wall-art that unfold layers of history, capturing moments of preservation and meaning that resonate across time.

 

Art is not a luxury of civilisation; it is its pulse - the quiet proof that we are more than survival.

 

His use of colour shifts from sun-infused ambers and reds to coastal blues, soft whites, and nuanced greens. Forms emerge and recede, at times abstract and gestural, at others detailed and figurative. This creates a visual dialogue that invites contemplation and sparks both personal and collective meaning. Each arrangement feels alive, shaped by contrast, rhythm, and a subtle but powerful emotional resonance.

 

A space without art is merely occupied; a space with art is alive.

 

His work has been commissioned upon special request, including a monumental tile installation for the Sedgwick family, historic producers of Sedgwick's Old Brown Sherry; bespoke fine art dinnerware for The Roundhouse; and an extensive collection of 135 framed tiles created for Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, among other notable projects.

We are pleased to present a formalised commissioning pathway, offering collectors the opportunity to secure a custom-designed piece of art. Each commission is tailored to your preferred dimensions and colour sensibility, resulting in an artwork sensitive to your personal style and space needs.

Each artwork is elegantly framed in Kiaat wood, a highly sought-after and durable African hardwood celebrated for its rich tones, ranging from warm golden honey to deep chocolate brown.

The porcelain tiles that form your bespoke composition are exceptionally resilient and easy to maintain, while their tactile surfaces invite closer engagement, revealing subtle textures designed to be both seen and touched.
