Julie Umerle: 'In Residence' at London Marriott Canary Wharf

About

From 3 October 2017, the London Marriott Canary Wharf in the heart of the financial district is hosting an exhibition 'In Residence' by award-winning painter Julie Umerle. Her exhibition will include seventeen paintings, all of which are for sale.

The Marriott’s innovative artist-in-residence programme facilitates encounters with exciting contemporary art.

As Bertrand Dijoux, the Marriott’s manager observed: “The gallery space adds yet another dimension to our hotels' offerings. In addition to infusing every gathering with an element of glamour, it brings a little bit of London's iconic culture within our walls for a truly original experience.”

Umerle will be The Marriott's resident artist at Canary Wharf and during that time she will exhibit a series of abstract paintings which will enhance the experience of guests and visitors alike. In this collection of works, colour and space are used to dramatic effect.

Umerle commented: “I am delighted to be chosen by the London Marriott as artist-in-residence. I look forward to collaborating with them on this exciting project and reaching a new audience with my work.”
