Art-Partners worked in close conjunction with Parkland’s design team, and interior designer SCDA, to define artworks that would match their design concept. A unique, theme-based art space utilizing the surrounding natural environment and the traditional Chinese five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth— was created to harmonize the pure artwork forms with Raffles Hotels' high-end and classy image. Art-partners engaged in overall art strategy, curatorial themes, artist selection, commissioning work development, procurement, shipment, installation, documentation, artists’ media interviews, and aftercare.
As an art consultant for the Raffles Shenzhen, Art-partners utilized its collective experience, knowledge, and network of international artists, to recommend several artists to the client, proposing artworks based around the core narrative of the traditional Chinese five elements.
