    Photo of mural by Adele Renault at Sir Albert by Delphine Chevalier.

    At Amsterdam's Sir Albert, grey herons could be considered the neighborhood’s mascot. They’ve been spotted in the area for 20 years now, and they’re a regular figure at the nearby Albert Cuyp Market. We commissioned local artist Adele Renault to celebrate our neighborhood with this bold and beautiful mural on the building's facade. With her work, artist Adele Renault seeks to showcase ordinary city residents in bold ways, usually depicting pigeons and people. She made a special exception for our grey heron to make something authentic to our neighborhood.

The beauty of JOJO’s abundant curvy lines tends to play tricks on the viewers eyes and cognition.

    Amsterdam artist Floor Bijkersma created two lenticular compositions on the bar and reception desk at Amsterdam's Sir Adam that deal with the fleeting and tenuous conditions of fame.

  • jonathan-niclaus-drowning-all-the-way-home.jpg
    Drowning all the way back home

    Jonathan Niclaus is a Berlin-based illustrator and art director. You'll find this work in Berlin's Max Brown Ku'damm. His main focus lies in colour. He draws simple shapes, instilling meaning from surrounding events into them. As emotions are not tangible, and not a shape you can easily describe, these often take an abstract form. Abstract and simplified shapes leave space for mistakes, and the resulting coincidences lead to sparks of spontaneity. The artist finds inspiration from the ocean's depths, where we are "confronted with our ancient past and our subsconscious dreams."

  • julia-faber-idit-orni.png
    Julia Faber, Method 4/5, 2012, oil on canvas, 170 x 140 cm. Curated by Idit Orni.

    From a graduation painting to a special five-colour variation at Vienna's Max Brown 7th District. In this series, artist Julia Faber researched sexuality in the 19th century. Back then, masturbation was thought to cause illnesses and madness, therefore many techniques and methods were invented in order to stop teenagers from…doing the deed. One of the methods, as addressed in this work, was to make boys wear skirts, so the cool breeze from below would cool them off so to speak. Also, the consumption of cold food was supposed to lower the libido, hence the boy eats ice cream. The artist lives and works in Vienna.

    Sir Savigny Hotel

    We commissioned German artist Katharina Musick to create original pieces for the guest rooms at Berlin's Sir Savigny.
    The artist's intention was to narrate Savigny’s life as an eclectic cosmopolitan with a strong family footing. She uses an ink-wash-technique, randomly accentuated by metal effects and color throughout. Each unique piece includes candid depictions people, items, landscapes and moments in Sir Savigny's life.

  • kathe-schonle-sebastian-schager-mural-vienna.jpeg
    Käthe Schönle & Sebastian Schager - Max Brown 7th District Vienna - Mural

    At Vienna's Max Brown 7th District, we commissioned local artists to paint this 280-square-metre mural on the neighbouring building’s facade as a loving homage to the city of Vienna, while simultaneously putting a fresh and humourous spin on its motifs. Look for references to the Austrian parliament, a coffee house visitor, “The King of Waltzer” Johann Strauss, Empress Elisabeth “Sisi” (with a winking halo), fragments from a Viennese city palace and a skater. The work can be seen from the street, the hotel’s terrace and some of the hotel’s guest rooms. This artwork was painted by hand within one week.

  • Nick-Oberthaler-768x226.jpg
    Nick Oberthaler, Untitled (EX/Proposal/After G.G), 2019. Edition of 60+ 10 AP Etching. 5 Variation of grey. Image size: 62 x 37 cm, paper size: 78 x 53 cm.

    This work is on display at Vienna's Max Brown 7th District and created by Vienna artist Nick Oberthaler. Referring to Oberthaler’s similar large-scale painting titled "EX", this work was inspired by an exhibition poster by the American conceptual artist Gaylen Gerber. Oberthaler saw the folded poster of Gerber’s show, and only the first two letters of the word ‘exhibition’ were visible, and he incorporated those letters into his work. The truncated typographic positioning of the EX also symbolises the translation from Latin: ”out of”. More than a visual experience, it may also trigger your creativity. How many words starting with ‘ex’ do you know?

Each "Hunter" is a truly original piece, a unique collection and assemblage of raw wooden scrap materials from the streets. "Hunter" combines kitsch iconography with sculptural art and functionality, thus proving once more that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
