I am excited to announce my newest & largest public art installation, “Cosmic Connection,” at citizenM Hotel Miami Brickell. You can see it at 955 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33130.

To mark the brand’s arrival in Miami, citizenM has commissioned Miami native and Los Angeles-based artist Jen Stark to create a permanent, site-specific artwork on the property’s exterior. Like many of the vivid works for which she is known, Stark’s Cosmic Connection examines the intricate layers of the natural world through pattern and color. The original façade artwork—citizenM’s largest installation to date—will be unveiled in July.

Stark imagined citizenM Miami Brickell as a blank canvas, creating different works for each façade. Each side of the building showcases a composition that stands on its own, but the pieces also come together to harmoniously form one artwork. A third-generation Miamian, Stark drew inspiration from the city’s colors, underwater sea life, and the cosmos. The bright hues, the vibrant and energetic feel, and the movement of the piece epitomize citizenM’s innovative and playful brand personality.

“I was really excited to see these two-dimensional drawings come to life as a three-dimensional sculpture. I love the transformation from 2D to 3D, and this installation is riffing on that idea,” shares Stark. “When the pieces come together, it becomes sculptural.”
