See The Amazing Artwork These 10 Asian Artists Created For Gucci

Asian artists from China, Korea, Japan, Singapore and more were invited to interpret the Gucci Tian print. See our favourite works here.

by ISABEL ONG  /   March 10, 2016

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.

“The image in mind that I had was to portray not just beauty, but an air of nonchalance and power,” Lim said. Cue the youthful, feminine portrait in her embroidered work.

#2: Charles Loh (@mossingarden), Singapore

Loh’s #1 medium of choice: A glass terrarium. Here, he’s used the Gucci Tian print as the backdrop and also as his centrepiece.

Chan’s specialty lies in painting animal-human hybrids with a dreamy touch.

The Vietnamese fashion designer has artfully turned the Gucci Tian print into barely-there silhouettes.

#5: Cao Fei (@cao_fei), China

The artist placed slippers bearing the Tian print in a decrepit urban landscape, juxtaposing the vibrancy of Gucci’s pattern against a contemporary image of current-day China.

#6: Jaesuk Kim (@jaesukkim), Korea/Australia

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).

#7: Q-TA (@QTA3), Japan

This quirky collage features objects that have all been suspended in mid-motion, making for an irresistibly engaging image on the whole.

#8: Yoshito Hasaka (@_F7), Japan
image

The Japanese photographer gave architects a run for their money by applying the Gucci Tian print to one of Shibuya’s iconic shopping centres.

#9: Yile Yang (@kononekome), Japan

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
image

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.
