In Arsham's signature eroded style, the artist's collection of drawings were on show amongst sand and palm trees 🏝
On a sliver of white sand in the Indian Ocean, palm trees are swaying softly in the breeze. The sun is blazing, fruitbats are shuffling through the leaves, and crystalline waves are rolling lazily onto the shore. Tucked amongst this land’s lush tropical overgrowth, barely visible, is a series of flat, clean, modernist constructions.
For Arsham, the Patina residency was an obvious yes – and a welcome break. The artist has been notoriously busy over the last few years, collaborating with creatives and brands like Dior, Tiffany & Co, Pharrell Williams, Paris’s Grand Palais, and even Pokemon. “The nice thing about this residency is how remote it is: the quietness compared to New York, where my studio is located,” he says. “Patina gave me a chance to work without that aspect of noise and hustle.
Humanity‘s impact on nature is also a wider theme at the hotel. As well as focusing on art and luxury, Patina aims to be a leader in sustainability and climate awareness. Much of the food, for example, comes from the resort’s own on-site organic, permaculture gardens; the fish are caught only through pole and line methods , and 15 per cent of energy on the island is solar-powered .
The completed artworks will remain at Patina Maldives for public exhibition and purchase until 8 June 2022 at the Fari Art Atelier
