Plaza Premium Lounge is presenting two new concurrent Spotlight Art exhibitions, Marcia Scott Flow at London Heathrow Terminal 2 and Joe Machine Nature at Gatwick North Terminal.
This is the fourth instalment of new artists following the success of the ‘Art and Lounge’ concept series previously introduced in Dubai, Kuala Lumpur as well as London, in collaboration with curators Amie Conway and Alex Cousens, aiming to create an immersive gallery ambiance within the airport. Additional exhibitions featuring contemporary art are in the planning stages and will be announced soon across Plaza Premium Group’s departure locations throughout Europe.
Plaza Premium Lounge is dedicated to enhancing the travel experience by showcasing the work of local British artists. Integrating their artworks into the lounge environment not only adds a unique cultural dimension to the travel experience but also offers travellers a glimpse into the artistic landscape of the lounge as a destination before departure.
Travellers can also expect an engaging experience with the artists. Plaza Premium Lounge London Heathrow Terminal 2 and Gatwick North Terminal will both host ‘Meet the Artist’ sessions in May. Marcia Scott will share how she brings “Flow” collection to life at Heathrow, while travellers can witness Joe Machine create his captivating nature-inspired pieces in real-time at Gatwick. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to see the artistic vision unfold and engage with the artists themselves. The ‘Art and Lounge’ concept contributes to making travel better by enriching the overall journey and creating a relaxing environment that engages and inspires travellers.
Marcia Scott “Flow” Exhibition
At Heathrow Terminal 2, rising artist Marcia Scott Flow exhibition features striking abstract paintings, recent and new enchanting works experimenting with a variety of paint media; such as gloss enamels, hammarite and fluorescent spray.
Each canvas begins with a layered solid ground of static pure tone in bright blue, pink, yellow, black, white and gold. The palette is simply the seven colours of the rainbow, meticulously chosen to become part of the magic, to mix and create a spectrum of multi-coloured hues and textures, merging, marbling and splaying. Scott establishes new processes of mixing and moving paint, pouring directly on to the canvas, with gestural freedom; creating organic sensuous forms and flows, fused and highlighted with colour. Concerned with relationships and form, balance and fluidity; this unique process creates a visual language, which can be considered both abstract and surreal, likened to musical scores.
“Flow is the dominant dynamic of Marcia Scott’s recent paintings. Flow is what creates the shapes; and its cessation, its edges, its boundaries and its dissipations are what determine the interrelations between those shapes and the static colour fields within which they swirl, puddle, convolute and configure…. The eye’s imagination has excitements here: incitements to reverie.” Mel Gooding, 2018
Joe Machine “Nature” Exhibition
At Plaza Premium Lounge Gatwick North Terminal award winning artist Joe Machine Nature celebrates a true love of the United Kingdom. Machine’s distinctive figurative style walks the viewer down paths into ancient woodlands, through fields with flowers in areas of outstanding natural beauty, favourite world heritage sites and national trails, such as Avebury Stones, Coldrum and Silent Valley. The imagery depicts orchards, cherry blossoms, anemones, bluebells, prowling foxes, march hares, magpies, kingfishers and more. Each picture carefully studies the landscape, flora and fauna, throughout the seasons; autumn, spring, summer and winter.
This exhibition features varying size original acrylic on canvas colour paintings, alongside unique monochrome scraperboards; a form of direct engraving where black India ink is hand scratched to create a fine white china clay line.
“A striking feature of all series …. is that they share an immediately recognizable artistic language. Once you’ve seen a Joe Machine you will have no difficulty in spotting his hand in any other.” Edward Lucie-Smith, The London Magazine, 2021
