Artists
On display throughout Wren, is a carefully curated collection of artworks which have been made specifically for the space. The artists involved created work that was inspired by the sustainable ethos of Wren, the beauty, and the power of nature.
Tory Irvine’s colourful, abstract paintings capture the wildness and energy of Irish landscapes. The earthy tones and organic shapes of Caroline Queiroz da Cuhna’s diptychs and triptychs tell the story of a sustainable future – merging human creation with living nature. The drawings in the bedrooms by Lisbon based artist P. Sal represent what is most familiar to us – being human. Intimate, figurative drawings are placed beside abstract and expressionist forms.
