Follow Artist Charlie Spademan’s Journey of Designing BangZ Salon’s New Front Doors

Local Artist Charlie Spademan was selected to design the front doors of the new BangZ Salon and Spa. He has created a blog to allow you to follow him through the process.
Below is an excerpt from Charlie’s blog:
“A little background on the project: In the Fall of 2007, the Montclair Arts Council announced a nationwide Call for Artists to design and implement its 5th Public Art Project in Montclair; Artwork to adorn the front doors of BangZ Salons new building on South Fullerton Avenue. I was honored to be selected as the winner of the Commission from the 50+ Artists who submitted entries. The generous budget for the project allowed me to propose creation of handrails for the building, as well as artwork for the doors. All of my work will be hand forged, by me. Though I have been working on drawings for the Project since last August, and refining my tooling (more on that in a future post), the actual construction of this artwork did not begin until the very end of February, 2008. I expect to have this artwork completed in time for opening of Bangz, in early May.”
You may find drawings of Charlie’s Artwork as I presented them to the Selection Committee by searching under the category Artwork Renderings
