The Genesis Artist Series is a social campaign where we commission digital artists to create beautiful artwork inspired by our vehicles. While leading each project, I worked closely with artists and client to deliver feedback and provide creative direction. Overtime, deliverables expanded beyond artwork and into to behind-the-scenes video interviews and even an AR Filter for Instagram and TikTok. #ArtistSeries continues to be the best performing content for our social.
GV70 ARTIST SERIES
For the first-ever GV70 launch, we directed artists to maximize the feeling of desire as part of the “Want Wins” campaign. Animations were accompanied by custom-composed score. In addition, we created a lo-fi beats-inspired Youtube Series and behind-the-scenes process videos for Instagram Reels. Artists ranged from 3D, photography, and mixed media.
Artists: @bloowoods, @giorgiaascolani, @romain_laurent, @blunt_action, @momarkmoproblem, @romanbratschi
SUV ARTIST SERIES
We asked 3 digital artists to reimagine our luxury vehicles as high fashion and created a mixed-media style video series that uncovered their inspiration.
Artists: @romainlaurent @skeevaa, @stephy_fung
G90 ARTIST SERIES
The G90 is our flagship, top-of-the-line luxury sedan, so this time we selected artists that complemented our larger strategy focussed on fashion and luxe lifestyle.
Artists: @blakekathryn, @petertarka, @skeevaa, @smeccea, @bloowoods
G70 ARTIST SERIES
For G70, we continued to push the art and allowed artists to experiment with surreal scenes, metallic finishes, and even modifying the car. With this series, I wanted the styles to be visually different from the previous GV80 Artist Series so that each piece had variety in terms of car angle, colors, and environment.
