Cognac producer Hennessy held a dinner at the City of Dreams to welcome the imminent Year of the Dragon in the Lunar calendar and unveiled a new bottle designed by artist Yang Yongliang.
In honor of the dragon, the most symbolic and vital animal of the Chinese zodiac, Yang combined traditional drawings with striking digital art which breathe life, movement, energy and fire into a collective of metallic dragons dancing in and out of waves, the brand said.
The unique artwork has incredible attention to detail, with a three-dimensional element which brings out even the texture of the dragon’s skin and teeth. Hennessy explained that each bottle features a color which embodies the aspirations of the new year; red for joy and luck and gold for prosperity.
Born in 1980 in Old Town Jiading, Shanghai, Yang has studied Chinese painting since childhood. Having graduated from Shanghai Institute of Design of the China Academy of Art, he currently lives and works in New York and Shanghai.
The decorated bottles are available in three different versions. Also available for purchase is an exquisite and rare collectable decanter in a beautiful oak giftbox.
(Readers are reminded that the legal drinking age in Macau is 18 years.)
