ANDAZ GALAXY MACAU
For the Andaz Kitchen restaurant of the Andaz Macau we were commissioned a four-meter long decorative panel.
White glazed ceramic plates and trays create a lively three-dimensional effect accentuated by the various shapes and height differences of each piece.
For this brief, we extensively researched how Chinese and more broadly Oriental subjects were translated and interpreted by European artists
in the 18th and 19th centuries to appeal to the taste of Western audiences.
We were also interested in the subject of sea travel, trade routes, and marine scenes.
These subjects were combined with images of animals, dragons, and bouquets of flowers in both European and Chinese styles.
The carefully selected artworks were combined into a striking blue and white composition of ceramics in different shapes.
The installation consists of four 90x100 cm panels that are mounted on the wall individually, with detached plates applied separately to cover the sides of each panel to create a unique composition with no gaps.
