The Tokyo Olympics came to a successful conclusion. The representatives of the Hong Kong team achieved one gold, two silvers and three bronzes in the East Olympics, which drove the Olympic enthusiasm and sports enthusiasm throughout the city.
Riding on the Olympic boom, "Hong Kong Sports Expo 2021" will join the sports illustration exhibition for the first time. There are about 30 works by 14 illustrators, and 26 Hong Kong players including the protagonists Zhang Jialang, He Shibei, Wu Jialang and the non-Olympic athlete Cao Xingru will be selected. The athlete's most exciting and dynamic moment turned into an illustration.
Some illustrators believe that sports, creation, and life are actually very similar. "Before you have a grade, you have to be indifferent to others for a period of time. After a while, you will have to grit your teeth until someone knows you."
It doesn’t have to be sweating to be a tribute to athletes with illustrations
Preparations for this sports illustration exhibition began last year, and it was forced to postpone it due to the severe epidemic. Sports Expo 2021 marketing director Zeng Huishi said that through the sports illustration exhibition, he hopes to let the public know that many people in the art and culture circles care about sports, "Don’t have to bleed. Sweating precedes sports."
There will be a 10-meter by 2.5-meter large painting exhibition with 1:1 paintings of athletes. It is hoped that illustrations will be used to pay tribute to Hong Kong athletes.
Athletes must grit their teeth before becoming famous Illustrator: Life is the same
Monk Man, one of the 14 participating illustrators, drew illustrations of two fencing athletes, including the Tokyo Olympic men's foil gold medalist Jia Lang.
He believes that athletes and art creators are walking on similar paths. "Before you have scores, you have to be indifferent to others for a period of time, and for a while you have to grit your teeth until someone knows you, so I say sports are the same. The creation is even buried, even the same life is buried."
Monk Man especially likes to draw the moment when athletes win. "Before the athletes have scores, there may be a period of 5 to 10 years when they are coldly treated. Therefore, when I draw pro-athletes, I will try my best to draw the channels as much as possible, "I finally got it. "Victory".
Hand-painted like a game without undo
In this sports illustration exhibition, most of the works are computer-drawn, but Man Seng hopes to exhibit at least one hand-painted work because he thinks that hand-painted works are like sports competitions, "not undone."
Therefore, he will not correct the mistakes, but will find a way to turn the mistakes into a part of the painting.
The expo set up a lucky draw for a chance to buy a shock-absorbing mountain bike for 5 yuan
The 9th Sports Expo will be held at the Kowloon Bay International Exhibition and Trade Center for three consecutive days (13-15) this Friday, with more than 100 exhibitors.
