See The Amazing Artwork These 10 Asian Artists Created For Gucci

In the first edition of #GucciGram, artists were tasked to reimagine the Bloom and Caleido motifs from the Italian house. This time around, they’ve invited artists from Asia – China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore – to interpret its Gucci Tian print, characterised by images of hummingbirds and butterflies against a landscape of tree branches and flowers. The result: images that are evocative, ethereal, and beautiful in their own ways. Scroll through the gallery below for some of our favourites, including contributions from homegrown artists like Teresa Lim (@teeteeheehee) and Charles Loh (@mossingarden). By Isabel Ong.

Whimsical yet alive, the illustrator added two Gucci bags to a twisting, snaking vine filled with Alessandro Michele’s favourite motifs (the butterfly, the hummingbird and the monkey).

The artist’s works frequently investigate the way we interact with light. Here, he gave the Gucci Tian print a mysterious, seductive treatment: A woman’s body is revealed in tantalising glimpses, with the print projected onto the parts of her body that are visible.

#10: Manoth Kitticheewan (@manoths), Thailand

The Thai painter/illustrator imbued his work with a Precious Moments-esque innocence through the depiction of an open storybook where two young children (clad in Gucci diapers no less) are happily plucking flowers for their hair wreaths.
