UK - Exciting News!

We were invited to our first ever Event in relevance to our blog!! How exciting is that?! 

The event was organised by The House of Luxury. A fantastic global public relations, events management and marketing agency specialising in the luxury lifestyle industry. 

       

They arranged the event to be held at The Royal Opera Arcade Gallery. The gallery is located near Trafalgar Square on Pall Mall in the heart of Central London. 

       

So on arrival we had both dressed up more so than usual, yet we still felt very under dressed for the exhibition. However it was very cool to have our names on a private guest list. Swanky right? 

We were here to view the incredible work of Zhuang Hong Yi and his display of colourful Flowerbeds. 

      

Zhuang Hong Yi's work represents sophistication, beauty, and a level of such perfection that shows a clear presence of Chinese influences.

He uses bright, vibrant, oil/acrylic paints and materials that really capture your imagination. His art is inspired from his life in the Netherlands but uses traditional Chinese materials to create these masterpieces.

      

The mesmerising work we saw at the event was actually made up of thousands of plain pieces of rice paper that had been transformed into these beautiful, colourful floral petals. As you guys can imagine this is a very time consuming process, however having seen these incredible pieces for our own eyes the results are just breathtaking. Time well spent!

      

We have never seen art quite like this before. 

In all honesty it left us slightly shocked by the sheer creativity of the pieces, as some even changed colour. That's right, changed colour! 

      

As you walk past some of the bigger pieces the tones completely change due to the fantastic artist technique Zhuang uses.

      

We already stood out as we weren't all suited and booted, so walking backwards and forwards past these pieces, as it was just mind blowing, didn't help us blend in...but we didn't care as we just loved this talented guys work. 

     

We would like to say a massive thank you for our invite from The House of Luxury, The Royal Opera Arcade Gallery and to the fantastic Artist Zhuang Hong Yi. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing these spectacular pieces of modern art in such beautiful surroundings.
