Art in The Mandrake The gestation, conception and creation of The Mandrake has gone hand in hand with acquisition and commissioning of artwork that expresses the spirit of the hotel. Works are provocative, sensual, exotic, beautiful, fun and sometimes even dark, but always creative. Each and every piece has been sourced for the specific area it occupies. Where the perfect work has not been found, artists have been commissioned to work closely with the space and ethos of the hotel to create a new piece. In this way, these artists become permanently connected with the soul of the hotel. |

Artist in Residence
The Mandrake is proud to introduce an ‘Artist in Residence’ programme. Covering all genres and mediums, from a tattooist to a ballet dancer, a renowned writer to a sculptor, our AiR encourages interaction with guests and members of the public. Drawn from the worlds of fashion, art, design and music, we endeavour to be inquisitive, provocative, current and supportive. Guests will have the opportunity to join in our Q&A talk with the artist. Please refer to our ‘What’s On’ section to find out about the artist in residence on your reservation particular dates. |
