The House of Rémy Martin has invited celebrated Chinese artist Huang Yuxing to interpret its collection to mark the Year of the Snake. The record-breaking contemporary artist has created a new artwork, Majestic Serpentine, to welcome the new zodiac sign, which has inspired a collaborative series of festive limited editions with Rémy Martin.
MAJESTIC SERPENTINE DECODED
At the heart of the painting is the mythical serpent, a creature associated with good fortune, authority, longevity, and wisdom in the Chinese calendar. In an explosion of vibrant colors, the snake winds upwards through majestic undulating mountains and hills, representing the exceptional terroir of Grande and Petite Champagne in Cognac where Rémy Martin exclusively sources its grapes.
The artist’s signature bubbles echo the precious fruits at the center of the cognac-making process. The flowing river symbolizes a legacy of outstanding eaux-de-vie from the two regions of Cognac, prized for their elegance and ageing potential: key to Rémy Martin’s quality. The snake’s upward motion draws on the progressive nature of the House, continuously moving forward to new heights. A kaleidoscope of jewel-like, yet harmonizing, colors reflect the rich, multi-facetted aromas that characterize Rémy Martin’s cognacs, as well as the vibrant festivities of the Lunar New Year.
