JEN Beijing has collaborated with Art Your Life to create a pink-themed pop-up contemporary art exhibition, Powerful in Pink, from 17 June to 31 July 2021.
The immersive exhibition brings together works from a number of pioneering artists from across Asia under the theme of “pink”. The exhibition aims to reshape aesthetic conceptions of the colour pink, using a broad range of artistic creations to break through stereotypes about this at once fun and romantic colour.
The lobby will host some of the exhibition’s most arresting works, including Ma Xiaohai’s bright fuchsia Rhino in Love, part of his Rhino Heart series, as well as well-known contemporary artist Qin Weihong’s hand-painted copper sculpture I Love You. Up-and-coming artist Sophia Zhao’s Koorabbee, a play on the English words “cool rabbit,” will be on show alongside Central Academy of Fine Arts graduate Wen Kuo’s avant-garde animal sculptures HUG Mouse and hen.
The works amply demonstrate the differing artistic viewpoints of their creators and their interpretation of the common theme: pink. Their diverse creations offer a fascinating insight into the world of contemporary art in China.
Exhibitions in public spaces have been a hot topic of interest in the art world in recent years. For JEN Beijing, putting artworks by outstanding artists on display in public areas is a way of enabling guests to get up close and personal with art. JEN Beijing is not only committed to ensuring that guests have a wonderful stay, but also hopes to use this exhibition to demonstrate the hotel’s commitment to supporting unique perspectives and offering new perspectives.
During the exhibition JEN Lobby Café on L1 of the hotel will also be serving a limited-edition selection of pink themed drinks and desserts. Sip a strawberry candy iced pink latte, a refreshing rosé spritzer with rose wine, soda, strawberry, lemon, and mint, or a summer orchard smoothie with strawberry, dragon fruit, and yogurt while you explore the art exhibits.
