Iris Dubai is proud to announce a new collaboration with artist Anna McKeown, the creator behind Pop & Toast. McKeown is showcasing her vibrant hand-painted bottle prints at Iris Dubai until the end of June 2023.
The Irish artist burst onto the art scene in 2018 with her eye-catching paintings and fashionable sculptural bottles, characterized by her trademark splashes of colour. McKeown’s artwork perfectly complements the eclectic interior of Iris Dubai. Art of Iris is showcasing the distinctive pieces of artwork throughout the venue for guests to appreciate over dinner or drinks. Head down to Iris Dubai to experience McKeown’s ‘The 5am Club’ exhibition and enjoy stunning views of Dubai’s impressive skyline.
“I’m delighted to be exhibiting my artwork at Iris Dubai. Each painting signifies a particular connection to a place, a person, a time gone by, but most of all, a celebration. ‘The 5am Club’ references the party culture of Dubai, the vibrancy, fluidity and energetic brushstrokes reflect the glitz and glamour of the ever-growing city that doesn’t sleep.”
Inspired by fashion, glamour, and glossy magazines, her creative style has been influenced by many different genres and artists over the years, notably the Female Abstract Expressionists from the 1950s, the Brit Shock art movement of the 1990s, and Yayoi Kusama and her bold collaborations with fashion powerhouses such as Louis Vuitton.
With a passion for art from an early age, McKeown studied art history and contemporary studies alongside Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art, and spent time studying Fine Art in Cal Arts in Los Angeles alongside pioneering artists from around the world.
