虎牌啤酒/Tiger Beer 广告拍摄
2017年,受虎牌啤酒邀请,英杰参加其“释放心中虎”项目。不仅为活动创作一幅高3米,宽5米的大型画布作品,还参与了微电影“释放心中虎”的拍摄。此次活动邀请了一群新锐的舞者、音乐家、画家和技术爱好者,在布拉格当地著名的美术馆和博物馆进行拍摄,旨在表达“任何人都可以成为大人物,我们内心都有一只老虎且潜力无限”这一理念。
In 2017, invited by Tiger Beer, Chan participated in the project “Uncage the Tiger”. He not only painted a 3-meter-high, 5-meter-wide large canvas work, but also appeared in the shooting of the micro film "Uncage the Tiger". The micro film, which gathered a group of up-and-coming dancers, musicians, painters and technophiles, was shot at Prague's famous art gallery and museum. It aimed to promote their beliefs that anybody can be a somebody. That we all have a tiger inside and hidden potential.
活动开始前一星期,英杰来到捷克的一个旧火车站,临时搭建工作室,花了三天时间完成这幅“虎青”,以作为微电影的拍摄背景。从创作开始的大面积泼洒挥毫到后期的细描刻画,他试图在一气呵成的创作状态下把虎青精神诠释在画布上。这种混沌而有序的表现形态正是诞生这件作品过程中最大的精髓。
A week before the event, Chan went to an old railway station in the Czech to build a temporary studio and spent three days making the "Roar Collective" as the background of the micro film. He tried to interpret the spirit of roar collective on the canvas in one go, from the splashing to the description of details. This chaotic and well-organized form of expression is the key of this work.
