Shangri-La proudly presents the fourth artwork in its Horizon Club Artist Series. This artwork is called 'Bangkok Ma-no-rom' by Thai artist Lee Kanin. At the Horizon Club guests enjoy an unparalleled level of hospitality and service, so to give you a small taste of our personal service, we have commissioned artists from five of our destinations to create a series of artworks inspired by the Horizon Club, with which you can personalise your digital devices. This artwork was inspired by the view from the Horizon Club at Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok. The artist himself describes his process: “I have interpreted the beautiful view by using elements that represent Chao-Phraya River as my foundation. The arch (curve) of the circle caused by the grid infrastructure conveys the forms of water. I’ve used grid shapes in every aspect of this work, creating the complexity of the city, as well as controlled direction, calm and serenity. The most iconic feature of Bangkok is the temples. I have taken a small part of the murals inside the temples, and built intricate textures, complex and abstract forms creating a contemporary and fresh aerial view of Bangkok as seen from the Horizon Club.” By installing this artwork on your browser you will be able to experience for yourself the inspiration of the artist and beauty of Bangkok.
