Posted on by

Paradise Tower becomes the newest addition to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The highly anticipated project ($750 Million expansion), completed almost two months ahead of schedule. Henzel rugs was selected for the pool suites, aptly named because they overlook and some offer direct access to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s world famous Beach Club pool. Predictably the most coveted real estate in the tower, the pool suites boast features such as two-level “duplexes”, doors that open to direct access to your own cabana or to the pool deck, or a spacious glass balcony that places you hovering over the best pool scene in town. Some of the selected designs is based on Calle Henzel’s oil paintings and made to custom designed hand tufted rugs. One of the selected artworks is Memento from Second Session series, inspired by the pre-twentieth-century use of collage-like application techniques.

Ultrasimplicity by Henzel

In the past Calle Henzel has worked with a variety of media including rugs, furniture and textiles. Over the last years painting has increasingly become an important form in his work. Even though hand tufted rugs still is his main art making instrument, painting has always been an parallel tool that allowes him to put his formal ideas in place. He uses painting for its most genuine purpose: spontaneous and unarbitrated conveyance of his experience of the world around him. Henzel’s overlapped; fragmented and bold collage paintings capture a youth culture zeitgeist. Influenced by the opulent grandeur of 80s art his collage based images presenting fragile and fluctuating notions of identity, ciphers, corrupted beauty, symbols and pulp novels.
