Not all art is created to decorate. Some works ask questions that linger. Kevin Champeny’s mosaic art designs, particularly his Money Mosaic and Corporate Mosaic Commission pieces, don’t just use recognizable symbols. They put them under a microscope.
Through coins, credit cards, logos, and corporate emblems, these mosaics reflect on how society places value on objects, institutions, and status. They are not about glamor. They are about perspective.
Money is everywhere, on screens, in pockets, behind decisions. In Kevin’s mosaics, it becomes material. Thousands of hand-cast resin pieces mimic nickels, dimes, logos, and emblems of global brands. Some viewers might recognize a credit card from their own wallet. Others may notice a pattern of logos that once defined childhood or work life.
The effect is visual and conceptual. By repeating and clustering symbols of wealth and corporate identity, these works invite reflection. What happens when value is abstracted? When is currency turned into texture? When a logo is no longer part of a product, but part of a larger mosaic?
These are the kinds of questions Kevin’s work puts into the room, without answering them directly.
Each mosaic begins with sculpture. Kevin sculpts individual elements by hand before creating molds to cast them in resin. Once cast and dyed, the pieces are arranged to form a larger image. The materials include polyurethane resin and silicone adhesive, chosen for durability and stability over time.
The sheer number of castings per piece, often in the thousands, creates a surface that only resolves from a distance. Up close, viewers encounter fragments: familiar, often branded, sometimes uncomfortable.
This process is slow and deliberate. It allows the final image to carry layers of meaning, where each casting is a small contributor to the whole.
Kevin’s Money Mosaic and Corporate Mosaic Commission works have appeared in residential and commercial interiors, where they often act as visual anchors. While bold in scale and color, their significance tends to emerge gradually.
Designers and collectors often cite the dual nature of the pieces: striking as decor but weightier on closer inspection. These mosaics offer something more than just aesthetic value. They encourage engagement over time, especially in spaces where people gather, pause, or work.
Whether in a living room, conference hall, or gallery setting, these works function as unique wall art that opens up conversations.
Symbols of money and corporate identity carry a lot of weight. In everyday life, they shape behavior and perception. In Kevin’s mosaics, these symbols are pulled from their usual contexts and recombined.
This isn’t satire, and it’s not praise. The mosaics work more like mirrors. They don’t point fingers. They reflect patterns.
By organizing logos and financial icons into visual fields, Kevin highlights repetition, accumulation, and cultural saturation. The message isn’t spelled out. Instead, it unfolds based on the viewer’s own interpretation.
Each piece includes hand-sculpted and cast resin elements, bonded with silicone adhesives. The materials are stable and designed to last under indoor conditions.
No. These works use visual references to money and branding as a way to explore how society assigns value. The pieces raise questions more than they give answers.
Yes. Many collectors and designers choose Kevin’s mosaics for mosaic home interiors, where the art can stand alone or complement broader architectural elements.
