Pirelli 2024: Timeless shows special people 🎥
60 YEARS OF THE CAL The 2024 Pirelli calendar by Prince Gyasi is entitled Timeless and pays tribute to people who have left their mark and are destined to inspire future generations.
The Ghanaian photo artist Prince Gyasi (gallery right) says that his portraits, which he has photographed in vivid colors, are like superheroes to him, but at the same time approachable. Gyasi is the 39th artist to have designed a Pirelli calendar. His work is the 50th edition in the 60-year history of The Cal between 1964 and 2024.
Personal awareness
When Gyasi was commissioned to design the 2024 Pirelli calendar, he first considered who he wanted to portray in it and what they represented to him, starting from his personal awareness of the West African community. As one of the youngest artists ever selected for the Cal project, he had to look back to his childhood and reflect on the personalities that inspired him throughout his 28 years.
It became a story about what makes a person timeless in Gyasi's eyes. Above all, he is concerned with perseverance and sincerity. The Ghanaian artist wants to encourage young people in particular to learn, create and in turn inspire others.
Contemporary artists
The calendar features, among others, His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, King of the historic Asante Empire in West Africa, and his royal delegation photographed at Manhyia Palace under the title Royalty. American actress Angela Bassett (gallery right) represents Altruistic, author Margot Lee Shetterly and poet Amanda Gorman are The Blueprint, and contemporary Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo is The Chosen One. Gyasi has dedicated a month to himself with the title Details. The image chosen for the cover shows the young artist portrayed by child model Abul Faid Yussif.
