Victo Ngai, Contemporary Illustrator: Basic Information Victo Ngai, a Cantonese native, grew up in Hong Kong and studied in the Illustrator Department of Rhode Island School of Design in the United States after graduating from high school. Growing up in a family in Hong Kong, she chose the art road with a confused future. Not everyone will understand her, and she may even go on with suspicion. After all, Hong Kong is a place full of financial and legal talents, and painting is not a golden rice bowl. It takes courage to choose art.
Everyone is responsible for his own actions. As Anselmus Keefer said, you can live with different highest goals, different ideals and objects of worship. The real difficulty lies in the choice. Your own choices may have an impact on your life, even the butterfly effect. Victo Ngai, who broke into new york alone, boarded Forbes at the age of 25, determined her ideal of choice and stuck to her hobby, which showed her talent. The happiest people are often those who don't abandon the happiness brought by hobbies. They can't give up and abandon their hobbies. I believe that Victo Ngai's paintings contain primitive happiness, which is the happiness of painting. She brings her infinite enrichment, freedom and purity.
Victo Ngai, a contemporary illustrator: To grow up and stick to the ideal road needs to cut through thorns. Her life in new york is very difficult, but with this persistence, she proved her strength with a lot of works and showed us a series of new pictures. The unconstrained Chinese style in her works is impressive, and the Chinese and western elements on the screen are also varied. There is no denying that her style is diversified and international. This crooked nut can't accurately say Victo Ngai's last name. Ngai's works made it to Forbes 30 on the Forbes Art List, and she changed from a dream catcher who worried her mother about not having enough to eat to a new york person whose dream came true. Ngai is a foreign student. In addition to the pressure from life, there are also regional influences. The dilemma of a person's development abroad can only be understood by himself. Just as Maxima will eventually be appreciated by Bole, her university tutor discovered Nga's talent, gave her a good opportunity and took her the first step to fame.
Chris? Chris Buzelli is Ngai's university tutor. Undeniably, he extended a crucial helping hand to Ni's artistic path. His wife Xiuzhen? At that time, Ba Gigi Lai was the creative director of Project Sponsor magazine and a very famous media person in the industry. He often recommends his students' works to his wife. Ngai got an internship as a freshman, that is, Xiuzhen? The magazine created illustrations edited by Ba. Since then, they have started cooperation for six years, which also enabled Ngai to publish more than ten works before graduation, and he was not discouraged when looking for a job.
Ngai was probably at the end of last year. I fell in love with her work at first sight. Her painting style can attract the audience's attention, with smooth lines, overall atmosphere and eye-catching color matching, which is very pleasing to the eye. At the same time, the exquisite color matching makes her picture very harmonious. I like the dots and lines in her paintings best. These symbols are used a lot, but they are not miscellaneous. They form a surface one by one, and form a dense surface bit by bit. Most of her works are done by computer and hand-drawing. The elements depicted in her works are very diverse, with a strong style of painting and a combination of Chinese and western styles. While retaining a strong Chinese style, she is also full of exotic fashion sense.
Although she didn't come from an illustration class when she was an undergraduate, she created her own sky with her unconstrained imagination and distinctive China elements under the atmosphere of free creation in the United States. Chris has a famous saying:? Painting must have a style, just like everyone's personality is different, so everyone's painting style will be different, so follow your inner voice. ? I believe this is what Ngai has always been firm, just as the essence of painting is not to copy the real thing, but to learn to express it. The richer the feelings expressed in the works, the more attractive the works will be. Just as there is a feeling in the depths of our minds that is slowly budding, we can't grasp it, but we know that we are infinitely approaching this feeling. In Ngai's works, there are colorful colors and flowing long curves, and each painting has a plot. The work is not China for China, but has become her unique expression. What is condensed in her works is spiritual strength, which has become a part of the value in her paintings. This is a freer expression, the pleasure of painting, and the original intention of getting close to the pure painting or spiritual world.
Victo Ngai, a contemporary illustrator: The style of works opens Ni's illustrations, and a strong Chinese style blows against my face. Although she is not from China for China's sake, it is undeniable that the exotic style of her illustrations is her biggest selling point in the West. The international market is very inclusive. In 20 16, he designed illustrations and posters for Ogilvy & Mather advertising company in the United States. Great power, gathering power? , to? Monkeys catch the moon? As the theme, it directly and vividly expresses the propaganda concept of the poster and vividly expresses the power of gathering people. I prefer Ngai's two illustrations, which have a strong Chinese style: The Moon Fairy Fox and the Carp yue longmen. I often saw them on New Year pictures and posters when I was a child, but now they look very good.
Ngai combines these elements into a new picture, a word from Huang Jisu. There is nothing new under the sun, only a new combination? Is the best explanation for it. We can easily find that Ngai's works come from life, but they are higher than life. The picture may be beautiful, and there is a restless factor hidden in the exquisiteness, and this restless freedom factor is more and more active in her later works. After the active style matures, more ideas are more and more skillfully integrated, making the work more and more full. I believe that in the future, Ngai's painting space will be even bigger. This is the fun that painting pursues, having self and faith, and living up to the Tathagata.
If a person has to choose to be a work of art or finish a work of art, I believe Ngai's behavior has told us the answer, because that's what she is doing, using art to express the thoughts generated by our brains. Art never creates ideas, it serves them. Ngai perfectly expresses the traditional elements she came into contact with in China. Her thoughts are diverse, active and spiritual.
Ngai's works make the author feel a different China and experience a brand-new picture full of humanistic spirit, which may be what she really wants to express. Her artistic thinking has broken through the surface and technique of a painting, which makes her pictures have many real attractions, such as the Bengal tiger and the African eagle. These international elements are the collision of free thoughts, and we can see the world of thinking from her paintings. Ni's painting style influenced us. Art comes from imitation, and her painting style is worth learning.
