由艺术专家洛伊丝-德-普里（Loyse de Pury）带领的迷人之旅，让您重温Mayfair标志性的艺术历史

Mayfair 1 Hotel 坐落于伦敦标志性的Mayfair 中心，我们在设计时特意向该地区举世闻名的博物馆、画廊和历史遗迹致敬。通过深思熟虑的设计、传统的建筑风格和令人惊叹的当地艺术品，这座圣殿的每一个细节都在向伦敦不拘一格的文化和迷人的自然美景致敬。 

我们诚邀您在艺术专家、销售代表和艺术爱好者 Loyse de Pury 的带领下，通过每月一次的Mayfair 艺术之旅，沉浸在我们墙内充满磁性的艺术品以及周围令人难以置信的展品中。 Loyse 出生于瑞士洛迦诺的 Villa Favorita，父亲是拍卖师，母亲是艺术史学家。多年来，她对艺术的热情与日俱增。

With an accomplished career as both an actor and an art sales representative for iconic names such as Bonni Benrubi and Todd Merrill, Loyse has gained invaluable knowledge and experience working with art from all centuries, from all over the world. Now, she brings her expertise to 1 Hotel Mayfair, offering her discoveries regarding established and emerging artists in the area. We sat down with Loyse to uncover her excitement for these monthly art tours and what you can expect to see and feel throughout the journey.

与Mayfair 1 Hotel 艺术之旅专家 Loyse de Pury 心连心 

请告诉我们您的背景，是什么促使您成为一名销售代表和艺术爱好者。

All I could hear at home was my parents talking about art. Papa was obsessed with contemporary art and Maman had a nostalgia for the early Italian Renaissance. My first shock from art occurred at the Sensation exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1997, when I gazed at the putrefied cow by Damien Hirst in horror. The smell was so intense with buzzing flies everywhere. Then and there I pondered the question: What is Art? Our family holidays would revolve around art—spending hours in museums, which pretty much became my playground! Art was probably the first thing I saw in this world!

Mayfair 1 Hotel 的艺术之旅可以给客人带来什么？当地人也可以参加吗？

这将是一个惊喜！但你一定会感到灵感迸发、精力充沛，并与其他志同道合的人联系在一起！每个人都可以自由表达自己对作品的想法，从而引发独特而有趣的讨论。

All are welcome, whether that’s locals, guests of the hotel, art lovers, art collectors, students, artists, curious creatures, children, and even dogs!

您能给我们先容一下您将带领客人参观的画廊吗？

For the upcoming tour on 7th October, we’ll be celebrating women! As we all know, women have often been ignored in art historical canon, and now it's their time to shine. I have selected three artists from different generations and origins—all of whom work with unique mediums. Their artworks have a way of making you feel empowered just by looking at them.

我们将从 Sprüth Magers 画廊开始，这是一家 80 年代初由两位非常鼓舞人心的女士开设的画廊，她们从西尔维-弗勒里的职业生涯一开始就代理她的作品。我们将向这位标志性的瑞士艺术家致敬！然后，我们将参观 2004 年成立的艾莉森-雅克画廊（Alison Jacques Gallery），深入了解美国艺术家希拉-希克斯（Sheila Hicks）的精彩作品。最后，我们将参观 Pippy Houldsworth 画廊，探索出生于肯尼亚、在芝加哥生活的艺术家 Wangari Mathenge 的震撼画作。

您最喜欢Mayfair 1 Hotel 艺术收藏中的哪件作品？您能介绍一下吗？

我最喜欢的作品是 Torrent，这是英国艺术家凯特-麦奎尔（Kate MccGwire）创作的崇高酒吧。她是我多年来一直关注的艺术家，她的作品总是让我惊叹不已！当我在各种展览上看到她令人难以置信的艺术作品时，每件作品都是独一无二的，同时又展示了她标志性的羽毛媒介。她费尽心思收集、整理和清洗材料，创造出充满肌肉感的造型，常常让人联想到古典雕塑或神话中的生物。我喜欢她对赛鸽羽毛的赞美，因为这些羽毛通常是脱落或丢弃的。她对鸽子的双重身份非常着迷--鸽子通常被称为 "飞鼠"，但实际上它们要高贵得多，因为它们与鸽子同属一个家族。

Torrent is made of roughly 3,000 feathers found from all over the country. By creating this piece, she gives each feather another beautiful life. The result is absolutely sumptuous, the perfect bar to bring a date and drink an Elderflower Spritz!

有没有特别想展示的新兴艺术家？

This particular tour will showcase three established artists, but I will highlight emerging artists in future tours. That being said, I’d love to tell you about three emerging artists I admire—all of whom had shows in London last year. Victoria Cantons is a fascinating painter, Ioana Maria Sisea is a talented Romanian sculpturist, and Qualeasha Wood is an American textile artist who creates powerful tapestries!
