New art exhibition opens at luxury Edinburgh hotel in Charlotte Square

Artist Vicky Paul has opened a solo exhibition titled 'Where Energy Resets' at the Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel in Edinburgh as part of its Artist in Residence programme. The show features 31 paintings from four collections—Celestial, Cosmos, Thin Places, and Cherry Blossoms—displayed in the hotel's main reception areas. Works are available for purchase, with prices ranging from £350 to £2,250. One of Paul's pieces, Elementum, previously raised £20,000 at a Sotheby's auction.

The exhibition highlights a growing trend of luxury hotels integrating visual art into their spaces, offering artists like Paul a platform to reach both local and international audiences. By making all works available for sale, the programme also supports the artist commercially while enhancing the hotel's cultural appeal. This model reflects broader shifts in the art world toward non-traditional exhibition venues.
