Mondrian Singapore Duxton has unveiled an Art Collection, the result of an exclusive collaboration more than two years in the making between the hotel and The Artling, Asia’s premier art advisors and tastemakers.
The Mondrian Singapore Duxton Art Collection raises the bar with a permanent collection of artworks from emerging and established Singaporean and international artists. The pieces add a sense of discovery as guests journey through the property.
The artworks and their placement were specifically selected for the element of surprise that they create when viewing the pieces in more detail. New media artworks provide dynamic, ever-changing perspectives, while framed artworks also create a sense of movement through their aesthetics.
Mondrian Singapore Duxton General Manager Robert C Hauck said he was thrilled to announce the collection’s launch, cementing the Duxton neighbourhood’s growing reputation as the Lion City’s leading artistic and creative hub, offering a world class collection of multi-disciplinary art.
“I believe we are breaking new ground in hospitality in the region in assembling such a diverse collection of artists at the top of their games, and in terms of incorporating the pieces into the fabric of the hotel design process,” he said.
Curated by The Artling’s founder Talenia Phua Gajardo and Gallery Director Kim Tay, the collection features artworks in a wide range of media from local and international artists. Phua Gajardo said she was excited to present the collection and to reveal the artists represented.
These include the abstract British painter Ian Davenport, known for his “Puddle Paintings” and whose works are represented in major galleries around the world, US installation specialists SOFTlab led by Michael Szivos, American photographer Tyler Shields, Singaporeans Dawn Ng and André Wee, and more. – TradeArabia News Service
