Horizon Club Shanghai

Shangri-La proudly presents the second artwork in its Horizon Club Artist Series. This artwork is called 'Long Gaze' by Shanghai based artist Zhu Jianhang. At the Horizon Club guests enjoy an unparalleled level of hospitality and service, so to give you a small taste of our personal service, we have commissioned artists from five of our destinations to create a series of artworks inspired by the Horizon Club, with which you can personalise your digital devices. This artwork was inspired by the view from the Horizon Club at the Jing An Shangri-La in Shanghai, and reflects the past, present and future. The artist himself states: “As one of Asia’s most cosmopolitan cities, Shanghai has all the modern conveniences of an international metropolis, but also retains its distinctive Chinese soul. Located in the heart of the city is the Shanghai Jing’an Shangri-La Hotel, which overlooks the ancient Buddhist Jing’an Temple, a landmark of both old and new Shanghai. “Long Gaze” is inspired by traditional Chinese landscape ink painting, which expresses a 360-degree perspective on a two-dimensional surface. Using the green and gold colour palette of classical landscape paintings, I used photo collage and digital illustration to create a view from the Jing’an Shangri-La that gracefully conveys the harmony of the city with surrounding nature, and the unique experience of visiting the Shanghai Jing’an Shangri-La Hotel.” By installing this artwork on your browser you will be able to experience for yourself the inspiration of the artist and power of this amazing city.
