Bath’s Abbey Hotel and Modern ArtBuyer, the city-based online art sales website, are to stage ‘Art in Fashion’, an exhibition to coincide with the much-anticipated, annual Bath in Fashion event.
The exhibition, which will run throughout April, is part of the hotel’s focus on ensuring an elegant and exciting stay for its guests.
The hotel has worked closely with Modern ArtBuyer to present an exhibition of contemporary art with fashion at its heart. Curated by Jessica Lloyd-Smith of Modern ArtBuyer, the exhibition includes hand-stitched fashion illustrations and collages inspired by the world of tailoring.
The exhibition will feature, among others, exceptional work by Peter Clark who ‘paints’ his fashion-centric collages with found papers, patterned by their printed and worn surfaces.
Also on show will be hand-stitched illustrations by Emma Cowlam, who became passionate about illustration while at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan.
The exhibition will hang in the public areas of the hotel for guests and local visitors to browse, and all work will be for sale.
Modern ArtBuyer was founded in January 2012 to provide an online channel – www.modernartbuyer.com – to showcase selected contemporary paintings, limited edition screen prints and photographs to the internet generation, ensuring that integrity and quality of work are paramount throughout.
The 60-room Best Western Abbey Hotel is one of the best-located hotels in the city centre close to the Pump Rooms, Roman Baths, Thermae Spa, Bath Abbey, and the shopping area.
