On 9th September, Le Méridien Beach Plaza in Monaco is set to open a new art exhibition featuring four artists whose works explore the landscape and culture of the French Riviera.

The exhibition, titled ‘Celebrating The Riviera’, will run from September 9th to January 9th 2026, and it will display paintings and artworks in the hotel’s lobby space. The show has been organised in partnership with Tanya Baxter Contemporary, a London and Hong Kong based gallery.

Featured artists and their work

The exhibition includes works by four artists who each interpret Riviera themes differently. Carol Bruton, a local artist creates abstract paintings that focus on sea and water themes, incorporating Mediterranean light and coastal movement into her work.

Rip Todd-Warmoth produces detailed paintings of French Riviera locations, combining architectural elements with landscape scenes. His work captures both the physical structures and atmospheric qualities of the region.

Jesse Grylls uses bold colours and flowing paint techniques in his marine-themed pieces, creating works that reflect ocean movement and changing water colours. Paul Hughes, who has experience in both fine art and design, creates paintings that connect natural elements like land, sea and sky through colour and texture.

The exhibition forms part of Le Méridien Beach Plaza’s annual arts programme and can be admired by both guests and the general public. The hotel also participates in Le Méridien’s ‘Unlock Art’ programme, giving guests free access to the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco by presenting their room key
