These thematic threads run throughout the art hanging in The Loren at Pink
Beach and now The Loren at Lady Bird Lake. As we continue to collect and
place new works in the Loren hotels, these themes continue to inform our choices
and overlap with the environmental ethos of the Loren hotel brand. The Loren
at Lady Bird Lake features artworks whose symbiosis of color, natural light,
and architecture reflect the hotel’s organic integration with its exterior setting.
In the lobby, Sarah Braman’s repurposed chairs with glass cube reacts to the
changing exterior light throughout the day, providing ever-transforming networks
of reflections and refractions. In the restaurant, Olafur Eliasson’s dynamic color
wheels offer a nod to Austin’s Ellsworth Kelly Chapel, which is famed for its
melding of architecture and color with the intense Austin light that pours inside.
In the hotel’s guest rooms, Karl Blossfeldt’s classic photos of plants that look
like ornamental ironworks demonstrate the principle that essential forms are
reproduced in nature, art, and architecture. Indeed, nature, art, and architecture
come together in an organic symbiosis at The Loren at Lady Bird Lake.
