The RONE preview we went to thanks to SMARTFORM ARCHITECTURE and PHORIA last weekend triggered me to start my blog writing..

What an experience it was!

This Art Deco mansion, Burnham Beeches, was built in the 1930’s and besides being a residence it served as a research facility, children’s hospital and luxury hotel. It has been left vacant in the past 20 years.

RONE started his work on this house as part of his EMPTY series and used it as a blank canvas to show off his most recent work EMPIRE.

Great to see an artist working with architecture in its neglected state and transforming it to something incredible that allows us to imagine what it was or might have been - and simply to appreciate its beauty with all its different aspects.
