Aperture's Requiem - Portal 2 Wall Art

The World Famous Wall Art Rockers are proud to announce that we have teamed up with our friends at Steel Series and Valve to produce an exclusive Portal 2 wall art titled Aperture's Requiem.

As I'm sure you are aware the Portal Series from Valve/EA is one the most highly regarded video games of recent years and has received numerous well deserved awards and accolades.
The iconic series has a huge following among the video gaming community with legions of fans eager to discuss, write, draw and share all things Portal.
Therefore we had to create something truly spectacular that the fans would really engage with and get excited about.

Working closely with Steel Series and the artists at Valve we have produced a jaw dropping wall art that focuses on GLaDOS (who also appeared in the legendary Half Life series) inside the decaying Aperture Science Facility.
Chell also features silhouetted against the light beam cast down by GLaDOS. Completely dwarfed by her surroundings.

The muted colour palette really compliments the stark use of light and shadows to create suitably sombre atmosphere.

This stunning Portal 2 concept art is reverse printed direct to a gigantic 1400 x 675mm (8mm thick) acrylic panel. The reflective gloss of the acrylic makes the whole wall art look like a huge HD TV screen and brings every detail to life.

A special mention must go out to our friends at Steel Series who made all this possible.

DJ Woody and the Wall Art Rockers


We recently supplied the 2 x DJ World Champion and legendary superstar turntablist DJ Woody (aka Lee Woodvine) an awesome wall art for his brand new purpose built studio!

For those of you that don't know who DJ Woody is (shame on you), he is described as “One of the most creative forces in DJing the UK scene has ever produced”. His unrivalled visual performance show ‘Turntables in Technicolor’ has taken the world by storm.
DJ Woody has recently appeared at the US DMC finals in NYC as the first ever non-US artist to be invited to showcase. His current tour schedule includes long awaited appearances across Brazil, Asia, Europe and the US, as well as regular shows in his native UK.

Check out his website here.

So why did DJ Woody hook up with The World Famous Wall Art Rockers when he required a piece of wall art? The answer is very simple. He wanted a piece of wall art that visually expresses his love of technology, modernism and innovation as these are the three key influencing factors in the creation of his music. The same values that we incorporate into the creation of our wall art.

The wall art he chose was the typographical themed Type Bot 2023 (by Lukas Bischoff), which is available to buy exclusively from www.wallartrockers.com
