As a Celebration of London’s Resilience, Cartier UK Enlists Artists and Designers to Turn Its Boutique Into a Rainbow-Hued Art Gallery

In the wake of the global health
crisis, rainbow-themed artworks
have appeared as a sign of hope in cities across the UK. On
building facades, windows, billboards, and streets, many families
and their children have joined together to create colorful art as a
way to say thanks to the country’s NHS healthcare workers, and to
inspire optimism and unity.

In response to the initiative,
last month, Cartier UK reached out to members of the creative
community (including artists, actors, and fashion designers),
friends of the house, and employees to submit their own rainbow
creations, noting that the winning works would soon feature in
Cartier’s New Bond Street store in London. 

Cartier UK received more than
200 submissions over the two-week entry period, with the works
featuring all forms of visual media, from drawing and painting to
photography and collage.

“I am truly inspired by the
brilliant submissions we have received from so many friends of our maison and
employees,” said Laurent Feniou, Cartier UK’s managing
director. “These colorful displays of solidarity are a wonderful
tribute to the tireless work carried out by the
NHS.” 

Take a look at some of the
work—including the winning submissions—below.
