Platinum Card® from American Express has recently partnered with two acclaimed contemporary artists in order to create unique and exclusive artwork for its card holders. The two chosen artists are Kehinde Wiley and Julie Mehretu, both renowned for their innovative approach to art and design. Through this collaboration, Platinum Card members now have the opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind work of art that is an integral part of their financial journey.
Kehinde Wiley’s designs feature bold colors and intricate patterns, inspired by traditional African textile motifs as well as his own contemporary interpretations of them. His depictions often draw on the rich history of African cultures while exploring themes such as identity, power, beauty, and recognition. With each image, he creates a powerful visual statement that connects today’s world with its past. On the other hand, Julie Mehretu produces abstract works in which she combines elements from maps or architectural plans creating dynamic compositions full of color and texture that reflect her interest in global politics, migration patterns, and socio-economic changes.
The combination of these two distinct styles makes it possible for Platinum Card members to choose between two visually stunning cards – either one designed by Kehinde Wiley or one by Julie Mehretu – transforming everyday transactions into something more meaningful; a true piece of art! And what better way to honor your financial success than carrying around an exclusive artwork created just for you?
By using state-of-the-art printing technology combined with these unique designs Platinum Card® from American Express is taking luxury credit cards up a notch allowing customers to proudly display not only their financial success but also support some amazing talent in the process!
