Arts
Our art exhibits at EAST, Hong Kong are carefully curated so that the collections work as a complement to the design and contribute to the aesthetic of the living space.
The art collection is inspired by the hotel’s location at Swire Island East with its close proximity to many advertising, architectural and fashion companies as well as the rugged stonewalls protruding from the hills immediately surrounding EAST.
All artworks within EAST express nature, youth and vitality in line with the modernity of their surroundings. These include the cave crafting of Ma murals (Horse) by George & Ilza Burchett, the inspired cascade of butterflies and leaping fish by Jayne Dyer and Lincoln Seligman, and the use of bamboo for birdcages by Kum Chi Keung at the lobby. The figurative dinosaurs in acid colours of orange, pink and yellow in the harbour view suites were designed by Sui Jianguo, one of the most renowned Chinese sculptors of the 21st century, and inject brightness, warmth and a touch of humour into the spaces.
