Over the past few years, The Connaught hotel has used an artist to design their Christmas tree, which illuminates Mount Street. The Connaught hotel's Christmas tree this year is designed by Irish abstract painter Sean Scully. It is a Christmas tree designed with four bold block colours in an abstract manner. It takes over 25,000 light bulbs to bring this Christmas tree artwork to life. Scully said of the tree: "It's a Suprematist Christmas tree wearing a starry magician's hat" (1).
Previous Connaught Christmas trees that I covered on my blog are below:
- 2018 Michael Craig-Martin
- 2017 Tracey Emin
- 2016 Damien Hirst
- 2015 Antony Gormley
The Christmas tree will be on display until early January.
