Deriving his inspiration from the colour purple, American artist Frank Holliday shot to fame for his neo-abstract artworks that have earned him numerous awards and accolades. Represented by Partners & Mucciaccia in Singapore, Holliday has displayed a couple of his works at the Penthouse. The incredible texture and details of Trailing A Violet Haze reveal themselves progressively with purposeful swirls of conflicting hues coming together in a harmonious explosion. Holliday executed this oil-on-canvas work in 2013, which was first shown in Asia as part of a solo exhibition at Partners & Mucciaccia in Gillman Barracks in 2015.
Two unconventional works of art brought in by Affluency Singapore are the Orchid chandelier and table lamp by Nathalie Ziegler, which are displayed in The Armoire. Both pieces are mouth-blown and hand-cut using Saint-Just glass, with copper and silver woven into the pieces. To ensure the Orchid chandelier’s perfect positioning in the ceiling, the Parisian glass artist specially flew in to Singapore to install this piece. The flower table lamp is also delicately mouth-blown and hand-cut by Ziegler and features chromatic elements of copper and silver.
