ANTI:DOTE at Fairmont Singapore has partnered with ARTiSTORY and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to bring a touch of Impressionism to afternoon tea. This collaboration brings Claude Monet's iconic artwork to life through a specially curated menu, offering guests a unique sensory experience that blends art and culinary craftsmanship.
ANTI:DOTE, located in the Fairmont Singapore, aims to provide an innovative and artisanal dining experience. Their goal is to create a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere where guests can enjoy creative cocktails and gourmet cuisine. With this Monet-inspired afternoon tea, ANTI:DOTE continues its tradition of offering unique, themed culinary experiences that go beyond the ordinary.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) plays a crucial role in this collaboration by providing the intellectual property rights to Claude Monet's artwork. As one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world, the MFA Boston's involvement lends authenticity and prestige to the project, allowing ANTI:DOTE to accurately represent and honor Monet's masterpieces through their culinary creations.
The primary artwork featured in this collaboration is Claude Monet's "Water Lilies" from 1907. This painting is part of Monet's famous series depicting his water garden at Giverny. The "Water Lilies" series represents a significant period in Monet's career, where he focused on capturing the ever-changing effects of light on water. Inspired by Japanese prints, Monet aimed to evoke "presence through shadow and the whole through the part," creating a sense of the surrounding environment without directly representing it.
The final product of this collaboration is a Claude Monet-inspired afternoon tea set, aptly named "A Season of Impressionists." Available from September 1 to 30, 2023, this special menu features an array of savory and sweet treats that pay homage to Monet's artistic style and subjects. The afternoon tea includes items such as BBQ Carrot with Candied Orange Gel, Poached Boston Lobster with Avruga Caviar, and Ivory Chocolate with Guava Mango Passion Fruit Coulis. Each item is carefully crafted to reflect the colors, textures, and essence of Monet's impressionist works, offering guests a unique way to experience art through gastronomy.
