In the latest episode of On the Move: The Art of Installation, Caudelle Interior Installations sat down with professional sculptor and fabricator Kevin Chambers, a creative powerhouse in Atlanta’s art and design scene. Known for his large-scale public art commissions and custom sculptural installations, Kevin shared what it really takes to move an idea from the studio to a finished piece in a client’s home, gallery, or corporate space.
This wasn’t just an interview, it was a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry of installation. Most designers, artists, and collectors rarely get to hear about.
The Art of Saying Yes
Kevin’s philosophy? Say yes first, then problem solve your way forward.
From hanging 600 resin leaves from a casino ceiling to creating a lava, inspired wall sculpture, Kevin explained how bold projects often require equal parts creativity, engineering, and collaboration. For interior designers and artists, it’s a reminder that installation planning is as critical as the artwork itself.
“Art isn’t just about making something beautiful in the studio,” Kevin shared. “It’s about solving how to safely and elegantly bring it into the world.”
Communication is Everything
One of the strongest takeaways from Kevin’s interview was the non-negotiable importance of communication in the art installation process.
Whether coordinating with architects, ensuring ceilings are properly backed for sculptural weight, or clarifying access routes for oversized pieces, clear communication prevents costly surprises.
For designers and artists, Kevin’s advice is simple but powerful: “There are no dumb questions. Get everything in writing, confirm early, and think about installation before the piece is finished.”
Collaboration: Where Vision Meets Logistics
Kevin spoke candidly about the role of Caudelle Interior Installations (Art Installation Company) in his projects. Instead of juggling everything alone, he partners with expert installers who understand the technical finesse required for luxury interiors.
“Sculpture is not a solo sport,” Kevin explained. “It takes a team to bring these pieces to life. Having a trusted installation partner like Caudelle allows me to focus on creation, knowing the execution will honor my vision.”
Key Lessons for Artists and Designers
Kevin’s interview doubled as a field guide for designers, artists, and collectors navigating high-stakes installations:
Plan Early: Think about installation when you’re still sketching the piece.
Confirm Site Details: Access points, wall prep, lighting, and ceiling strength matter.
Respect the Team: Fabricators, installers, and designers all play vital roles.
Stay Flexible: Even with meticulous planning, on site conditions can shift. Adaptability is part of professionalism.
Document Everything: Clear communication in writing protects everyone.
For Kevin, the true magic of art installation comes when vision, material, and teamwork align. His interview is a reminder that the best projects aren’t just about the final look, they’re about the relationships, trust, and precision that get you there.
