Commissions

Original Work, Created for a Particular Place, Person or Moment

Missy Sunseri accepts a select number of private, residential, hospitality, commercial, event and production commissions.

Inquire About a Commission

Working across painting, neon, mixed media, sculptural artwork and large-scale installation, Sunseri develops original works in dialogue with the architecture, atmosphere and intention of their setting.

A commission may begin with a particular wall in a private residence. A hotel seeking a defining work for its lobby. A restaurant looking for an installation that becomes part of its identity. An interior designer searching for the final piece that cannot simply be sourced. Or a creative director imagining an artwork for a film, television production, stage, event or temporary environment.

The result is not a reproduction of an existing work adapted to fit a space.

It is an original work conceived for it.

01

Private & Residential Commissions

  • Private residences and collectors
  • Interior designers and architects
  • Luxury residential projects
  • Real estate and property installations

For private collectors and residential interiors, commissioned works may be developed around a particular scale, architectural setting, palette or emotional direction while remaining unmistakably within Sunseri's artistic language.

Projects may include original paintings on canvas or board, mixed-media works, illuminated and neon artwork, sculptural pieces, statement works for significant architectural spaces, and site-specific installations.

Sunseri can work directly with the collector or collaboratively with an interior designer, architect, art advisor, developer or other member of the project team.

For luxury residences and properties being prepared for presentation or sale, original artwork may also be commissioned to respond specifically to the architecture and character of the property.

02

Hotels, Restaurants & Commercial Spaces

  • Boutique hotels and hospitality
  • Restaurants, bars and lounges
  • Commercial spaces
  • Art consultants and creative agencies

For hospitality and commercial environments, Sunseri creates site-specific commissioned artwork and large-scale art installations conceived as part of the experience of a space.

Projects may range from a singular focal artwork to an installation developed for a lobby, reception area, restaurant, bar, lounge, guest environment or other prominent architectural setting.

Rather than approaching artwork as decoration added at the end of a project, a commission can be considered alongside the architecture, interiors, lighting, circulation and visual identity of the environment.

Sunseri welcomes collaborations with boutique hotels, restaurants, hospitality groups, interior designers, architects, developers, art consultants and creative agencies.

03

Events & Temporary Installations

  • Private events
  • Brand and experiential environments
  • Cultural events
  • Launches and celebrations

An artwork does not need to be permanent to be significant.

Sunseri can create original commissioned works for private events, brand environments, launches, celebrations, cultural events and temporary installations.

These may include sculptural art objects, illuminated works, custom neon, mixed-media constructions, artistic set pieces and large-format installations conceived specifically for the occasion.

The distinction is important: these are not conventional event props or generic décor. They are artist-created objects and installations, developed with the same visual consideration as permanent work, but designed to exist within the particular world of an event.

Where appropriate, a commissioned piece may also be conceived so that it can continue to live as an artwork after the event itself has ended.

04

Film, Television, Stage & Creative Production

  • Film
  • Television
  • Stage and theatrical environments
  • Editorial and creative productions
  • Production designers and set decorators

Sunseri is also available for commissions developed specifically for film, television, stage, editorial and creative productions.

A production may require an artwork that belongs convincingly to a fictional collector, a distinctive sculptural object for a set, an illuminated installation, a painting created specifically for a scene, or an original piece designed around the visual language of a production.

Working from a creative brief, Sunseri can collaborate with production designers, art directors, set decorators, creative directors and other production teams to develop original artwork appropriate to the narrative, environment, scale and production schedule.

Media

Neon, Painting, Mixed Media & Beyond

The medium follows the idea.

Depending upon the commission, a work may incorporate painting, canvas, board, 24K gold leaf, hand-stenciled pigment, mixed media, found or vintage materials, sculptural elements, illumination or custom neon.

Some commissions remain intimate. Others become architectural.

The intention is not to force every project into an established format, but to determine what the work itself needs to become.

  • Painting
  • Canvas
  • Mixed media
  • Neon art
  • Illuminated artwork
  • Sculptural artwork
  • Site-specific artwork
  • Large-scale art installations
  • Artist-created event pieces

Existing work may be viewed in the Paintings and Neon Art collections.

Process

The Commission Process

  1. 01

    Conversation

    Every commission begins with a conversation.

  2. 02

    Creative Brief

    The initial consultation establishes the nature of the project: the space, intended experience, approximate dimensions, visual direction, practical requirements, budget parameters and desired completion date.

  3. 03

    Concept Development

    For architectural and site-specific commissions, photographs, plans, elevations, measurements and relevant interior materials may become part of the discussion. From there, Sunseri develops the artistic direction.

  4. 04

    Sketches, Visuals & Renderings

    Depending upon the complexity of the project, this may include concept sketches, material studies, visual references, digital compositions or renderings that allow the client and project team to understand the proposed work in context before fabrication begins.

  5. 05

    Approval

    Once the concept, scope and schedule are approved, the work moves into creation.

  6. 06

    Creation & Fabrication

    The process is collaborative where it needs to be, but the finished work remains an original expression of the artist.

  7. 07

    Installation, When Applicable

    For larger installations, Sunseri can coordinate with the appropriate designers, architects, fabricators, contractors, installers and production teams as required by the project.

Inquire

Commission an Original Work

Private collectors, interior designers, architects, art advisors, hospitality groups, developers, creative agencies and production teams are invited to inquire about commissions.

For an initial conversation, please include any available information about the project, location, approximate dimensions, desired completion date and intended setting.

To experience existing works in person before commissioning, you are welcome to book a private viewing.

Not every detail needs to be resolved before reaching out.

Sometimes the most interesting commissions begin with little more than a space, an idea and the feeling that something should exist there that does not exist yet.
