The Wick Culture - Liu Wei x Hennessy

Objects Liu Wei x Hennessy

Liu Wei’s geometric forms stop you in your tracks. And Spring, his new canvas commission for heritage cognac brand Hennessy, is no exception. Its palette of fuchsia, blue, green and yellow buoys the spirit, while its organic curves invite endless interpretation. It conjures ‘a certain kind of beauty within a world of possibility,’ says Liu.

Created in celebration of the Lunar Year of the Ox, the joyful composition has inspired two new bottle designs: the Hennessy V.S.O.P and Hennessy X.O bottles (and packaging) now pop with vibrant colour, channelling spring’s cheerful optimism. ‘Each year brings change and new possibilities, even in times of crisis,’ says the artist. ‘Focusing on new creativity gives me lots of hope for the future.’ We say cheers to that!
