Brooklyn-based artist Marela Zacarias was selected as the winner of a $200,000 lobby art commission by The William Vale<\/a>, Williamsburg\u2019s latest hotel, in partnership with Brooklyn Arts Council<\/a>. The four-star hotel is located on 55 Wythe Avenue and is one of Williamsburg\u2019s most architecturally significant new developments.<\/p>\n

Marela Zacarias<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Marela Zacarias<\/a> will create a 25\u2019 x 20 x 3\u2019 three-dimensional sculptural painting offering multiple visual and historical perspectives. The work is influenced by early Native American geometries in relationship to Brooklyn\u2019s history and its original inhabitants, specifically the Lenape culture before the Dutch arrived to the island. Resembling the shape of a giant Brooklyn map, the sculpture will be comprised of 20 differing segments and will feature artist\u2019s interpretation of abstract shapes and colors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to honor Marela with this commission and we\u2019re ecstatic about what\u2019s in store for the hotel\u2019s lobby,\u201d said Sebastien Maingourd, general manager of The William Vale. \u201cHer proposal is for an oversized work that will pay homage to the borough and exhibit inspiration from early Native American heritage. We\u2019re confident that this piece of work will spark conversation about the community\u2019s strong art influence among international tourists and locals alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

The William Vale, set to open in early 2016, will adorn Zacarias\u2019 work as the main focal point within the lobby. Bold, progressive and forward-thinking, Williamsburg\u2019s latest hotel will deliver a 183 room four-star hotel, elevated public green space and a vibrant mix of retail and restaurants to the thriving North Williamsburg neighborhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
