Experience Carla Raads Between Hemispheres at The Grand Hotel

We’re excited to announce an exclusive collaboration with international artist Carla Raads, who is showcasing her latest exhibition Between Hemispheres at The Grand Hotel, Lytham St Annes. This deeply personal and emotionally charged exhibition features powerful seascapes that reflect Carla's South African roots and her connection to the breathtaking beauty of the Lytham coastline.

Carla Raads: A Visionary Artist with a Unique Perspective

Carla Raads art explores the intersection of memory, movement, and emotion through bold seascapes. Born in South Africa, her creative journey draws heavily from her homeland's natural beauty, blending it with her love for the British coastline. Her latest body of work, Between Hemispheres, is a reflection of these two worlds, a visual dialogue between the South African landscape and the serene, dramatic coastlines of the UK.

"To show my work here, where I live and create, is incredibly special,” says Carla. “The connection between my roots in South Africa and the beauty of Lytham’s coast feels like the perfect fusion of my past and present.”

A Transformative Art Experience

The exhibition will be displayed across various areas of The Grand Hotel, offering guests a chance to engage with Carla’s art in an immersive way. As you move through the hotel, the vibrant colours and striking compositions of Between Hemispheres will evoke a deep emotional response, transporting you to the places that inspired her.

This unique blend of art and hospitality invites our guests to take a moment to pause, reflect, and experience the world through Carla's eyes. Whether you’re staying at The Grand Hotel or visiting for the day, Between Hemispheres provides a rich, sensory experience that transforms every corner of the hotel into a living gallery.
