The Crown Estate Celebrates Platinum Jubilee With Unique Art Exhibition From Jennifer Abessira

Jun. 01, 2022

• Her Majesty The Queen is the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service. MTArt Artist Jennifer Abessira is known for her use of pink that she uses to celebrate and highlight either banal moments of our daily lives or historical instants that shaped a whole generation. With an accessible and playful aesthetic, Jennifer’s work gives everyone the same level of enjoyment - no matter their age or background. 
• This is the reason The Crown Estate commissioned her to celebrate the Jubilee of the Queen and show deep respect to this extraordinary historical character of both the 20th and the 21st century. 
• In addition to this, Jennifer had a retrospective show in St James’s Market Pavilion last year, which was adored by diverse audiences online and offline - such an appreciation signals a new demographic for The Crown Estate to reach with their celebrations. 
• The exhibition will be publicly available at St James’s Market Pavilion from the 28th of May 2022.

The pink wave represents the mighty ocean's restlessness. It also represents faith, hope, and joy even in the deepest of troubles. This element symbolises vastness, depth, and continuity.The use of yellow here comes to reinforce the reference that the artist makes to the Bauhaus movement, one where all the arts and crafts were equal and were for all. Expect to be playful, something nostalgic, always hopeful and at times playful.

MTArt Agency is an official public art supplier of The Crown Estate. As such, MTArt has the ability to activate the St James’s Market Pavilion space with rotating art exhibitions. For this exhibition, MTArt Agency’s creative agency team has supported Jennifer to source archive images that are publicly available - something that was key to convey a sense of universality.
