EDL & Associates is an independent full-service art consulting firm based in Atlanta. The company assisted in buying a $40 million art collection for CityCenter, a new development in the heart of Las Vegas. Alongside pieces by many great artists including Henry Moore, Maya Lin and Richard Long, they chose images from Matt Wain’s Living Art collection to hang in the suites of the new Aria Tower hotel.

Caitlin Roberson of EDL & Associates comments:
“We had worked with Beeseye before and knew that Matt Wain’s style, and in particular something from his ‘Living Art’ collection, would be perfect for the natural style of this project. Beeseye offered us total exclusivity on the pieces we chose and they kept them for us for two years while we arranged the details. Working with Beeseye was delightful, they are true professionals who really do go the extra mile.”

These are the exclusive images that were chosen for this project. If you would like exclusivity on images or suggestions for a hospitality design project – please get in touch.

Acclaimed artist Matt Wain was born and raised in the Thames Valley, UK. After studying at Salisbury College of Art he travelled extensively throughout Asia and lived in Sydney and London before settling in Pangbourne, Berkshire in the United Kingdom. Wain still travels widely today – on commissions and on personal trips all over the world.

Matt Wain has a reputation for his fluid style and use of movement. Wain captures the living world with a unique enthusiasm for the relationship between time and space. His 'Living' collection defines his passion to capture the patterns found in nature and the memories and emotions they evoke in us.

"I'm inspired the world around me, I still love paddling around in the surf, looking up through the leaves of a tree, lying in the grass."

For this collection, Wain still uses the disciplines he learnt while shooting film:

"I feel it's essential that I don't add in effects after I take the picture, that everything is created in camera. Messing about at the computer after you get the shot can give images an unreal element, which can be great, but is the polar opposite of what I'm trying to achieve."

Typically, Wain uses natural light and works in situ. He explains: "It is essential for me to keep my art natural, working only with sunlight and entirely on location.

A recurring theme in the collection is his use of movement - focusing less on the physical subject and more on its essence – together with light and composition. It is this motion, which imbues his work with a subtle atmosphere, masking the formal subject and revealing serenity.

In amongst fits of wandering Matt Wain lives with his wife, two daughters, a cat, a much-loved mountain bike, a Canadian canoe and an allotment.
