For nearly six months, we have been interviewing a handful of selective artists throughout the country to partner with us to create commssioned pieces for our customers that have more specific needs.  We would like to introduce our new creative and visual director, Mr. Michael Adam Alpert.  Michael, is a well known professional muralist and illustrator residing in New York City.  His work is also well know on a national level.

As a muralist, Michael Alpert began experimenting with innovative ways to invigorate and energize everyday surroundings. He developed groundbreaking textures and finishes for the walls on which his murals were painted, expanding the palette of what was available in the medium. These textures would soon play a very apparent and expressive role in his paintings. Using sheetrock as his canvas and house paint as his medium, he painted portraits resulting in a highly dimensional interpretation of his subjects that has redefined traditional portraiture. His paintings of people, especially children, are raw and real, yet remain sensitive to detail; not only the surface details, but also exposing the interior life and emotions of his subjects. His focus on the eyes of his subjects displays a concise realism which transcends the visual and draws the viewer into the realm of the spirit. The result is a very honest living image.

Michael says of his work, “The eyes allow me entry into understanding who that child is, but then I must protect that innocence and vulnerability, so I drop veils of color over them."  Never content with the surface, Michael insists on understanding his subjects, conversing with them until their inner life is revealed. Michael received his training at the High School of Music Art, The Rhode Island School of Design and Pratt Institute, where he graduated with honors. He subsequently freelanced as an illustrator, working with Oscar De La Renta, American Express, Donna Karan, Neiman Marcus, and Arnell Bickford, to name a few.

His commercial work transitioned to larger mediums, and he was commissioned to paint huge murals for clients such as Sony Theatre, Magic Johnson Theatres, Planet Hollywood and numerous restaurants nationally and internationally.

Michael's partnership with Urban Accents will now give customers the opportunity to have their favorite image or images professionally enhanced to create a functional montage on a large folding portable folding screen.  Imagine creating a photo family tree, or a photo backdrop for a wedding, bar-mitvah, sweet sixteen, anniversary, funeral, corporate trade shows, engagement proposals and more.  The beauty of these custom screens is that they are big, unique, functional and portable unlike wall mounted art or photography.

Catering Halls Use Room Divider Screens for a Cost Effective Solution to Divide Large Spaces

Large halls such as catering halls, banquet and receptions halls face the challenge of how to arrange the large space based on the event and amount of guests.  Many large reception halls use mobile folding partitions.  Some are custom made and others are commonly found in institutions or other commercial places.  These types of room dividers are very costly.  To efficiently divide a large hall measuring over 60ft wide, would cost over $5000.  Commercial room dividers are not also the most attractive.  If you are planning an event in a large social hall, yet there will only be handful of guests, the event would look empty if the space was left undivided.

This Italian catering and banquet hall in West Virginia, uses a cost effective way to create attractive, portable inexpensive partitions.  The owner of the venue purchased 5 art print room divider screens of red roses as well as eight shoji screens in 4 panels each.  The art printed screens of the roses are creatively used as a backdrop with accented lights around it.  This backdrop makes for a perfect visual center piece where the bride and groom can sit in front of.

The shoji screens are used to create an extra room for the ceremonial participants.  This partition creates almost like a back stage area for performers.   Since the screens are light weight for mobility, a creative way to add support to the screens is to place floor plants in front and in back as show in the images.

He was working on creating some video-playback hardware and was spending a great deal of his time thinking about and working with video screens. Red, green, and blue filled his thoughts and this inspired the RGB Room Divider. Created initially for his own use, the great reaction from friends and family that saw his work encouraged him to bring it to market.

Ideas on How to Divide Your Studio Apartment To Partition off Sleeping Area

The challenge many studio apartment dwellers face is how to separate the bed from the common area.  Nobody wants to walk into a room to see a bed in the middle of  living room next to a coffee table.  Since there is just one open room, the idea is to conceal the bed creating almost a separate bedroom area. The question is what type of room divider to get.  Depending on the layout of the studio apartment, there are many ways to section off the sleeping area.

If the studio has a sleeping alcove, this makes the it much easier to create a partition to conceal the bed from the rest of the room.  Some people will use a curtain to that will cover the whole sleeping area from wall to wall.  This can work well depending on the size of the room and the number of windows. Because a curtain hangs from ceiling to floor, this can make the space feel a lot smaller.  In bigger studios, a curtain can work well in the room provided that the sleeping alcove is on the smaller side.

Notice how the sleeping alcove is small

Some people use backless bookcases which can be quite functional if you want to store things or display decorative accessories.  These types of bookcases are bit more expensive and do not provide actual privacy if that happens to be what one is looking for.  A bookcase room divider defines the space, it does not conceal it.  Also most studio apartment dwellers are on the move more often the one bedroom dwellers, so this can be quite a pain to disassemble and move in the future.

Another idea is to use free standing panel partitions.  These tend to be contemporary in look with metal, acrylic and plastic elements.  These types of partitions work well in big loft areas or offices.  However they are also quite costly.  A 75" wide panel partition usually starts at about $800 and up.

Lastly, the best idea is to use your sofa at the foot of the bed with a room divider screen standing in between the sofa and the bed.  This configuration works best when the bed is placed in the middle of the wall rather than the corner.  I have come across studio apartments where the bed is behind the sofa yet there is no screen.  This is quite an ugly look.  The rule is that no bed should be in view when you are in the common area.  A minimum of four panels is necessary to cover the length of a three seat sofa.  Ideally 5-8 panels is better and will really create a feel of having a separate bedroom.

This is the ideal way to divide your living area and sleeping area in a studio apartment

 In conclusion, depending on the size and layout of your studio apartment, a room divider behind the sofa at the foot or side of the bed is the most aesthetically appealing as well as functional.
