Commission Mural Project

Hyatt Place London City East

Discover the artistic journey behind our murals at Hyatt Place London City East, created by Jay Kaes. These murals reflect the hotel's identity and the rich cultural tapestry of Whitechapel.

The Vision AND CONCEPT.

For this project, we aimed to create murals that encapsulate the identity of the hotel and its location in Whitechapel.This vibrant community is known for its history of Eastern immigration, street art culture, and its role as a bridge between East London and the business district.

Whitechapel's diverse cultural history and its connection to London's street art scene inspired our murals. This area has long been a gateway for immigrants from Eastern countries, enriching its cultural landscape.

ARTISTIC PROCCESS

Our murals aim to capture the unique blend of perspectives that define Whitechapel. The creation process involved a dialogue between my own artistic style, which explores different realities, and the hotel’s elegant aesthetic. By creating abstract forms based on community photographs, we extracted subtle details that reflect the area's identity as well as plants that represent the relationship with the East and the City of London.

The design harmonizes with the hotel's color palette and ambiance, providing a calming yet engaging experience.

CONCLUSION

We hope these murals provide guests with a deeper understanding of Whitechapel's cultural richness and a visually striking experience during their stay. Thank you to Hyatt Place London City East for this incredible opportunity.
