COLLABORATION

A KINDRED SPIRIT
As the Maison Hennessy and Zhang Huan became better acquainted, they found in
each other a kindred spirit. For both the cognac house and the artist, modernity lies in honoring
one’s heritage while always seeking to explore new frontiers. For Hennessy, a sense
of adventure has defined the House since its founding, and yet it has upheld its tradition
of transmitting savoir-faire for eight generations — a unique feat in the history of cognac.

THE ARTWORK
For the Hennessy commission, Zhang Huan sought to create a work of art that would express a sense of joy and celebration as well as a reflective quality that captures the essential meditations every New Year brings.“Making art is about using an object as a vehicle to express inner thoughts, or a spiritual side,” the artist explains. “Eaux-de-vie is intended as a natural, living expression.”
