Sculpting a Story of Time: Four Seasons Hotel Doha Collaborated with Artist Dan Pearce to Create Signature Piece for 20-Year Milestone
Doha, Qatar: Commemorating two decades of world-class hospitality and unforgettable guest experiences, Four Seasons Hotel Doha collaborated with renowned artist Dan Pearce. As part of this exclusive residency, Pearce created a bespoke sculpture titled Kinetic Drop , inspired by themes of transformation and legacy, reflecting the property's evolution as a leader in luxury hospitality. Highlighting the Hotel's positioning as a hub of art, culture, and innovation, the striking piece was revealed at an exclusive event dedicated to Four Seasons Hotel Doha's 20th anniversary on April 26th.
Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Four Seasons Hotel Doha, Kinetic Drop reflects the property's cultural influence, its ongoing evolution, and the fluidity of water as a symbol of the continuous passage of time. The sculpture also holds personal significance for Dan, whose connection to water is a recurring theme throughout his body of work. Echoing the gentle tides of the Arabian Gulf and the ever-shifting Doha skyline, the piece also balances movement and permanence.
As Dan's latest project, Kinetic Drop is a bespoke sculpture that captures the dynamic moment a droplet meets a surface, frozen in time yet alive with energy. Crafted from stainless steel, the piece invites hotel guests and visitors to slow down and look closer, as every reflection speaks volumes of the hotel's 20-year legacy.
As Four Seasons Hotel Doha celebrates this milestone, Kinetic Drop stands as a lasting symbol of the property's journey, where tradition meets transformation, and every ripple leaves a lasting impression. The sculpture will be on display for guests and visitors to enjoy until the end of summer. This remarkable residency further reflects the hotel's efforts in blending luxury, culture, and Qatar's vibrant art scene, inspiring both guests and the wider community.
Reflecting on his residency with Four Seasons Hotel Doha, Dan Pearce says, 'I am honoured to bring my work to the stunning Four Seasons Hotel Doha, a place that perfectly complements the spirit of this piece. For me, art is about fun and inviting people to engage with it, and I can't wait to see guests connect with Kinetic Drop . This sculpture holds special meaning for both my own creative journey and the hotel's legacy, and I hope it resonates with guests through its unifying themes of time and evolution'.
Shadi Suleman, Senior General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Doha, adds, 'Dan Pearce is an artist whose vision truly resonates with efforts in creating meaningful moments for our guests, and we're delighted to have partnered with him on this special occasion. Celebrating 20 years is a major milestone for Four Seasons Hotel Doha, and this artwork captures both the grandeur of the occasion and the legacy we've built within the region's hospitality scene. We're excited to see how guests engage with the piece and hope it sparks inspiration as we mark this remarkable anniversary.'
Dan Pearce is widely regarded as one of the UK's most collectible contemporary artists, known for his distinctive and multidisciplinary approach to art. His body of work spans everything from mixed-media paintings and illuminated pieces to limited-edition sculptures, large-scale installations, and even collaborative film projects. Inspired by pop and street art, and driven by a desire to make people think, feel, and connect, Dan's creations captivate audiences from afar with their bold presence while revealing layers of intricate detail upon closer look.
Originally born in Australia, where his earliest memories are tied to the ocean, Dan Pearce later moved to the UK, eventually making London his creative home and opening his own studio. His original works and limited editions have become some of the most sought-after pieces at Clarendon Fine Art galleries, where he has exhibited extensively across the country. Dan's bold and unique style has also caught the eye of global celebrities and brands alike, leading to commissioned works for the likes of Anthony Joshua, 50 Cent, and Disney Plus.

Palestine Picks "Palestine 36" as Oscar Entry
Yara Sameh Palestine has selected Annemarie Jacir's "Palestine 36" as its official entry for the international feature film category of the 2025 Academy Awards. The historical drama is set in 1936 during the Palestinian revolt against British colonial rule. The film follows Yusuf, a young villager caught between his rural home and the political upheaval in Jerusalem, as tensions rise amid growing unrest, British crackdowns, and the influx of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe. "Palestine 36" will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival with a gala screening during the opening weekend on September 5. The ensemble cast includes Hiam Abbass (Succession), Saleh Bakri (Blue Caftan), Robert Aramayo (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Billy Howle (The Perfect Couple), Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), Dafer L'Abidine (Children of Men), Yasmine Al-Massri (The Strangers Case), Yumna Marwan, newcomer Karim Daoud Anaya as Yusuf, and Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (The Beekeeper). Produced by Ossama Bawardi, Cat Villiers, Azzam Fakhreddin, Hani Farsi, Nils Åstrand, Olivier Barbier, Nathanaël Karmitz, Katrin Pors and Hamza Ali, the film was made through Philistine Films, Autonomous, Corniche Media, MK Productions, and Snowglobe. Production was initially planned to shoot entirely in Palestine but was disrupted following the events of October 7, with parts relocated to Jordan before returning to complete the film on location in Palestine. Jacir, one of the most prominent Palestinian filmmakers, previously directed "Salt of the Sea" (2008), "When I Saw You" (2012) and "Wajib" (2017), all of which were selected as Palestine's Oscar entries.

Helen Mirren Says James Bond Has to Be a Guy: 'A Woman Doesn't Work'
Yara Sameh Helen Mirren may play a retired spy in her new movie 'The Thursday Murder Club,' but insists that the next James Bond 'has to be a guy.' In a new interview with Saga Magazine alongside her 'Thursday Murder Club' co-star and former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, Mirren said her character Elizabeth is a 'more realistic' portrayal of a spy. 'So many women have worked in that world. She's a manifestation of a reality, that's for sure,' Mirren noted. 'But not so much fun as Bond!'. The Oscar winner added, 'I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work. James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else.' Ever since Daniel Craig retired his version of Bond in 2021, rumors have been swirling about who will play the legendary spy next — and if it could potentially be a woman. Chatter intensified after Amazon took control of the Bond franchise in February, with insiders in June saying that Amazon is interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30. Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland, and Harris Dickinson are at the top of the wish list. 'Dune' helmer Denis Villeneuve is on board to direct the new James Bond film, with 'Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight penning the script. Speaking to Saga, Brosnan said he has nothing but well wishes for the next person lucky enough to take on the 007 role. He said, 'I'm so excited to see the next man come on the stage and to see a whole new exuberance and life for this character. I adore the world of James Bond. It's been very good to me. It's the gift that keeps giving, and I'm just a member of the audience now, sitting back, saying: 'Show us what you're going to do.'' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
