In 2022 The Dorchester, commissioned Christian Furr to create an imposing painting for their newly desgined and refurbished lobby by Pierre-Yves Rochon. The painting, featuring the Serpentine and Hyde Park, contains many themes and stories that celebrate the nature which surrounds the Dorchester's position. Viewers are invited into a timeless scene of the edge of the Serpentine in Hyde Park, rendered at magnificent scale in oil paint.
Christian Furr brings together elements of nature and human activity that in fact span the past, present and future, with numerous hidden elements to discover—runners on the bank, rowers in the river, and the Serpentine Bridge in the distance.
The newly refurbished hotel is now open.
