Adrian Kay Wong in residency at the Hoxton Hotel

Step inside the Hoxton Hotel in Los Angeles, where Adrian Kay Wong was invited for a special stay to create a series of intimate panel paintings inspired by the hotel's distinctive architecture and its often-overlooked corners.

Each painting is small, occupying a humble real estate of just one foot by one foot, and depicts specific parts of The Hoxton's various spaces that otherwise might go unnoticed -- the turn of a staircase, the distinct floor tile, or a petal on a table in the lobby. The intent is that beauty can be found in all corners of a room.

When I visited The Hoxton, I asked myself, "What do I want to show here?" Looking around and walking through their space, an idea came to me that it'd be quite an experience for the viewer to recognize and connect the imagery seen in the paintings with their immediate surroundings.
