ARTIST’S TREE BY NICKY HIRST

This year Artist’s Tree at 45 Park Lane is a luminous game of words.

Silent Tinsel by British contemporary artist Nicky Hirst takes its title from the anagram at the heart of the work: ‘silent’, rearranged, becomes ‘tinsel’.

Inspired by Hirst’s celebrated use of language, the installation brings together three distinct strands: the history of Christmas, the heritage of hospitality, and the artist’s ongoing exploration of anagrams and wordplay.

Hundreds of mirrored gold letters create new and unexpected phrases for you to discover.

Alongside the tree, Hirst has reimagined the bar and lobby with her own take on Christmas. Festive trinkets, a vinyl installation, playful light and mirrored letters bring the artist’s world into every corner of the hotel.
