Discover Kuwait’s first Chocolate Art Gallery with Four Seasons

Chocolate lovers in Kuwait City are invited to indulge their passion for cacao with the launch of ‘Chocolate Art Gallery’ at Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya. The leading luxury destination’s Al Soor lobby lounge that is known as ‘La Chocolaterie de Kuwait’ has been transformed to become “Chocolate Art Gallery” to celebrate the inspired craftsmanship of the Hotel’s pastry chefs and culinary team.

The first edition of ‘Chocolate Art Gallery’ opened its doors on Monday, November 28th with a special launch ceremony attended by leading social media personalities and other prominent figures. Guests will have the opportunity to admire a stunning collection of chocolate statues that capture the versatility of the much-loved confection and showcase the imagination and expertise of the Hotel’s culinary artisans, as well as sampling a range of unique hand-crafted cacao treats. The twelve-day event will also benefit the local community, as the proceeds of the main art pieces will be donated to a local charity organization.

Martin Kipping, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya, commented: “We are delighted to launch the first edition of ‘Chocolate Art Gallery’, an inspiring exhibition that captures the magic of artisanal chocolate. Our culinary team has produced some truly stunning pieces that taste just as good as they look, and I am excited to unveil these today at our special opening event. We look forward to welcoming guests to explore this unique collection, which continues our Hotel’s tradition of creating meaningful guest experiences that bring art and culture to life.”

To help bring the event to life, Four Seasons leaned upon the talents of its renowned cast of executive chefs. Thierry Papillier, who became the youngest executive chef for Four Seasons in 2011, played an instrumental role in creating the exhibition’s sculptures, applying his versatile skills honed within several Michelin-starred kitchens. Executive Pastry Chef Gregory Chrismant, who has delighted guests with his craft for more than two decades at luxury hotels in Dubai and the French Riveria, was also a significant contributor to ‘Chocolate Art Gallery’ delectable collection. In addition, Four Seasons collaborated with  the notable Kuwaiti artist Yousef Saleh to contribute to the gallery’s design. Professionally known as Joegraffi, Saleh added to the event’s layout with his unique blend of ancient Arabic calligraphy and modern graffiti.

The ‘Chocolate Art Gallery’ exhibit reflects Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya’s commitment to showcasing the work of talented artists from Kuwait and across the globe. The award-winning Hotel is itself recognised as a unique artistic and architectural marvel, having previously featured on Wallpaper magazine’s list of top ‘striking structures around the globe’. From its illuminated 43-foot spiral ‘Stairway to Heaven’ to David Henderson’s gravity-defying Carbon Fibre Wall Sculpture, guests are invited to open their hearts and minds to wonder as they explore a stellar collection of international contemporary artworks.
