ARTIST’S PAINTINGS SHOWCASED IN EXHIBITION AT HOTEL IN HAYES
A BRITISH Indian artist from Hayes is launching a new solo art exhibition in partnership with Hyatt Place hotel.
The two-week event, which starts on April 27, will showcase Komal Madar’s unique, contemporary style; with a large collection of work on display including paintings featured in Vogue, House and Garden, and Inside Artists magazine.
Komal, 34, was recently selected to exhibit at Artrooms Art Fair in Rome and has been shortlisted for the Royal Prize Exhibition consecutively for two years. She said: “I’ve exhibited my work around the world and I’m so excited to launch my first solo exhibition in my home town in Hayes.
“As an artist, I draw inspiration from nature and the world around me, and I also enjoy creating abstract works.
“My Indian heritage has played an essential role in influencing my style and I’m always experimenting with new materials such as Indian textiles, henna and Swarovski crystals.
“I have a diverse collection of work ranging from affordable art to suit any home, to large, luxurious pieces for the most passionate of art lovers.
“There really is something for everyone. I look forward to welcoming people to my new Visions of Colour exhibition, and hope that the local community will come along and enjoy my work.”
The free exhibition will run from Friday April 27 to Thursday May 10, 9am to 6pm at Hyatt Place West London/Hayes, in the hotel’s glass-fronted bar and foyer. The hotel restaurant will be offering global cuisine throughout the day and all are welcome.
Dominik Strobel, general manager at Hyatt Place West London/Hayes said: “With our Hyatt Thrive platform, Hyatt is committed to serve the people, the environment and the community and we are absolutely thrilled to have partnered up with Komal, our local artist.
“Our hotel is located in the heart of the London Borough of Hillingdon and we are so proud of our local heritage. We wanted to bring our diverse community together through the love of art, so it was really important for us to work with a local artist for our second exhibition.
“We were blown away by Komal’s vibrant style, Indian influence and authenticity, and we’re so pleased to welcome this up- and-coming artist to our hotel. We look for-
ward to opening our doors to the public for the first Visions of Colour event.”
