Ateljee
Continuing the family’s passion for art, the Ateljee is an exciting creative space for guests to engage with artworks, artists and makers.
ROSE’D opened on 18 October 2025 and draws its inspiration from the flourish of spring and summer as well as the many forms of the rose.
Guests are invited to step into the rose and to admire both its grandeur and delicacy, its eternal, yet fleeting beauty and all that is special about the season of the rose, from buds to blooms to petals.
The exhibition showcases rose-inspired art by the acclaimed Heike Taschner Jeske, whose extensive experience developed from a childhood devotion influenced by her father, renowned rose farmer, Ludwig Taschner. This exhibition honours a longstanding collaboration between the La Motte and Taschner families as well as the two cultivars that Ludwig Taschner has named in honour of the Rupert family, the Hanneli Rupert and Berdine roses.
For this exhibition, Heike’s signature installation presents an immersive, larger-than-life rose that appears to burst from the walls, blooming across the ceiling, drawing you in to experience it as though you were a tiny creature marveling at its grandeur. The installation aims to evoke a sense of wonder and intimacy, inviting viewers into the delicate beauty and construction of the rose. The exhibition is presented through an array of mediums, including monoprints, charcoal drawings, watercolours and ceramic sculptures.
In addition to this immersive rose experience, La Motte invited artists through an Open Call to submit works to the theme of Flourish, deepening the universal appreciation of the rose. From the many submissions received, the top ten artworks are featured on display, while a broader curated selection will form part of the exhibition and be available for purchase.
The exhibition also includes a series of engaging workshops, and visitors can purchase products crafted by the featured artists at the La Motte Farm Shop.
