DESIGN NAME:
Hyatt Centric Gaoxin Xi'an Mural

Art
INSPIRATION:
The first section of the mural, resembling an abstract dragon head, draws inspiration from an engine. The second segment showcases three dynamic horses inspired by the terracotta army horse, jade horse, and horse stone carving in Xi’an, symbolizing the three dynasties (Qin, Han, Tang) that established their capital in Xi’an. The strokes within the circles are not arbitrary; they are derived from the cursive script of calligraphy master Zhang Xu during the Tang dynasty. This artwork illuminates the entire architecture designed by Japanese architect Kuma Kengo, embodying the essence of the Hyatt Centric brand: "To explore."

The moment I laid eyes on the Hyatt Centric Gaoxin Xi'an Mural, I was utterly captivated by its breathtaking depth and the compelling narrative it weaves through visual artistry. The ingenious integration of historical inspiration with contemporary design sensibilities speaks volumes about the creative prowess behind this masterpiece. Drawing from the rich cultural tapestry of Xi'an, the mural serves not just as an art piece but as a bridge connecting the past to the present, inviting viewers on a journey of exploration that echoes the Hyatt Centric brand's ethos. The abstract representation of a dragon head, inspired by an engine, along with the dynamic depictions of three horses, each symbolizing the prominent dynasties of Xi'an, is nothing short of brilliant. These elements, combined with strokes inspired by the cursive script of the calligraphy master Zhang Xu, infuse the mural with a layer of historical authenticity and artistic depth. Moreover, the mural's grand scale, stretching 61 meters in length and rising 5 meters in height, makes it not only a visual spectacle but also a landmark within the hotel, truly embodying the theme "The Whisper of Silk and The Song of Horses." This work stands as a testament to the power of art in transforming spaces and creating immersive experiences for viewers. Such a monumental achievement is a clear reflection of the talent and dedication of its creator, Jansword Zhu.

Having had the pleasure of experiencing the "Hyatt Centric Gaoxin Xi'an Mural," I am profoundly moved by the depth and breadth of creativity that has been poured into this magnificent piece. The way the murals stretch across a monumental 61 meters, reaching up to 5 meters high, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It is not just the scale that impresses, but the narrative strength and the delicate interweaving of history with contemporary artistry that captures the essence of the Silk Road and the vibrant city of Xi'an. "The Whisper of Silk and The Song of Horses" is not just a title; it is an evocative storytelling medium that brings to life centuries of culture, trade, and human endeavor in a visually stunning format. The integration of such a significant historical narrative into the fabric of a modern hotel space is a testament to visionary design thinking and an exemplary display of how art can bridge the past and present. This work not only serves as the hotel's premier attraction but stands as a beacon of cultural pride and innovative design.

The recent unveiling of the "Hyatt Centric Gaoxin Xi’an Mural" serves as a breathtaking example of how art and architecture can seamlessly intertwine to narrate a story that is as visually stunning as it is historically rich. The mural’s expansive canvas, stretching over 61 meters and rising 5 meters high, expertly captures the essence of "The Whisper of Silk and The Song of Horses," thereby breathing life into the historical and cultural vibrancy of Xi’an. What truly sets this artwork apart is its innovative blend of contemporary design with profound historical narratives, encapsulated through the abstract dragon head inspired by an engine and the dynamic representation of three horses, each symbolizing the powerful dynasties that once thrived in Xi'an. The meticulous attention to detail, seen in the strokes derived from the cursive script of calligraphy master Zhang Xu, adds a layer of depth that invites onlookers to explore not just the art but the rich tapestry of history it represents. This mural does not merely decorate space; it transforms it, enhancing the architectural brilliance of Kuma Kengo with a narrative that encourages exploration and discovery. It is a testament to the designer's ability to harness the power of art to tell stories that resonate with both the modern viewer and the echoes of the past. This work rightfully deserves the accolades it has received, showcasing an unparalleled level of creativity and insight into the cultural heart of Xi’an.
