Timed with the opening of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, The St. Regis Venice introduces 'Komorebi', a new contemporary art project that rethinks the hotel as a perceptual environment.
The exhibition was conceived by curator Marta Cereda and developed with St Regis in collaboration with Artelier Art Consultancy. On view from May 2026 to April 2027, the exhibition deepens the hotel’s role as a cultural salon on the Grand Canal, where heritage and contemporary expression meet.

“He was to pop art what the Sex Pistols were to punk rock: the rebellious iconoclast, the knife to the gut”.
Conrad Atkinson (1940–2022) had a gift for stirring things up, and his efforts didn't go unnoticed. Recognised by Tate and The Guardian as “one of Britain's most significant activist and political artists,” Atkinson engaged with pressing cultural and political debates of the 1970s - 2000s. Fiercely committed to incisive, witty commentary on immigration, workers’ rights, feminism, the AIDS crisis, environmental injustice and structures of power, he worked with sculpture, drawing, textiles and painting to create works both timeless and strikingly relevant today.
Artelier proudly manages the Conrad Atkinson Estate, working with leading galleries, museums and cultural institutions to preserve his legacy. Through these partnerships, our mission is to celebrate Atkinson's rebellious spirit, which will continue to inspire future generations.
