Artists in Residency

Grove Gallery at South Place

In partnership with Grove Gallery, artworks from three acclaimed artists will be on display in different spaces around the hotel, promising to be a must-visit for art-lovers and guests alike. 

In 3BAR and 3 South Place, the hotel’s award-winning brasserie, there will be works by distinguished artists Frank Canvas and Zen Xander on display. While upstairs, guests at the Michelin-starred Angler restaurant can enjoy art by internationally-acclaimed Robi Walters.

Frank Canvas: Unveiling a Hidden Talent 

Frank Canvas, a globally recognized public figure, is set to reveal a lesser-known aspect of his creative genius. Despite showing exceptional talent in creative subjects during his school years and demonstrating an innovative approach to traditional art forms, Frank’s career took an unexpected path. In his public role, Frank adheres to the expectations of his industry and fans, but through his art, he finds an escape to express the parts of himself that remain hidden from public view. This residency will mark Frank Canvas’s first public display of this secret creative outlet. 

Zen Xander: The Anonymous Satirical Street Artist 

Joining Frank Canvas is the elusive Zen Xander, an anonymous street artist famed for his satirical take on contemporary society. Xander’s art blurs the boundaries between street and fine art, using humour and irony to critique societal norms and political landscapes. His commitment to social activism is demonstrated through his political and charitable stunts, funded by his art sales. By staying anonymous, Xander ensures the spotlight remains on the causes he supports rather than on himself. His work and actions reflect a deep dedication to creating a better world, prioritizing people over profit. 

Robi Walters: a new art installation in Angler

Upstairs, we are delighted to unveil a stunning new art collaboration with the renowned British artist Robi Walters. Known for his vibrant, intricate pieces that explore themes of recycling, spirituality, and the human experience, Robi has gained international acclaim for his ability to transform everyday materials into extraordinary works of art. His distinctive style, blending dynamic colour with complex patterns, has made him a favourite among collectors and art enthusiasts alike. Robi’s work has been exhibited globally, including at the Saatchi Gallery, and he has collaborated with prominent figures like Sir Paul McCartney and The Prince’s Trust. At Angler, you will now be able to dine surrounded by his mesmerizing creations, adding an extra layer of inspiration to your culinary journey.
