GUCCI’S latest venture into the world of art comes in the form of its ArtWalls, eclectic murals found in cosmopolitan cities throughout the world. The murals, which were unveiled earlier this year, now feature illustrations of Gucci Décor by British artist Alex Merry.

Through this project, Merry continues his partnership with the Italian house, having previously worked on the Gucci Décor debut in 2017. Onto the ArtWalls he renders, with a whimsical and fantastical aesthetic much akin to the style of Alessandro Michele, the latest pieces from Gucci Décor.

Executing Merry’s artistic vision are Colossal Media in New York and Urban Vision in Milan and London. The ArtWalls are located in Lafayette Street of New York’s fancy SoHo district, Milan’s Largo la Foppa, and just off Brick Lane in East London. In Asia, they are located in D’Aguilar Street in Hong Kong’s chic Lan Kwai Fong and Fengsheng Li in Shanghai. With these ArtWalls, Gucci certainly breathes life into art and brings it into everyday life.
