THE ART
Alongside beautiful diamond jewellery, our Townhouses are home to an ever-changing selection of critically acclaimed art and antiques – all curated by Jessica, led by her distinctive eye for design. As with her jewellery collections, Jessica has the remarkable ability to create something unique by mixing the old and the new. The interiors of each space are curated with contemporary art, coupled with objets, and antiques which span centuries. Works from the likes of Stanley Whitney, David Wiseman, Rick Owens, The Haas Brothers, Marilyn Minter and Frank Bowling have all found a home inside our unique spaces.
Ndidi Emefiele
Ndidi Emefiele’s work has always conveyed the strength and perception of the woman with depth and humour. Her previous series dealt with the tragic death of the sister to whom she was so close. This work 'Untitled (pool side)' emerges from that darkness, addressing healing and the importance of fellowship, a spiritual embrace that has helped her.
Anj Smith
This is Anj Smith’s first large scale work, having for years made much smaller and intensely detailed paintings. Smith has a home in Margate and is mesmerised by the extraordinary quality of light on the sea, sand and skies. The painting’s title comes from the ‘Source Sender Message Channel Receiver’ model of human communication, and here the ‘receiver’ is the viewer.
Phoebe Boswell
Boswell creates a liminal space between land and water in which to explore issues of freedom, migration and intimacy. The beach is a site of memory and possibility, and water expresses the history of journeying, whether joyous or traumatic. Approaching from behind, we are not part of the conversation but are witness to the human connection and an imagined future stretching ahead.
