About Cheers To Macau Dizajn bledne kulturne razširitve

Cheers to Macau utelesa globok konceptualni pomen skozi preobrazbo aluminijastih pločevink za pivo v zmečkan porcelan, kar simbolizira edinstveno kulturno fuzijo Macauja in sodobno okoljsko ozaveščenost. Oblikovanje vključuje motive, kot so Ruševine sv. Pavla, portugalski vzorci ploščic, dvojezično besedilo v kitajščini in angleščini ter zlati brizgi, poudarjeni z divjo kurzivno kitajsko kaligrafijo, ki je osredotočena okoli teme lotosa. Ta umetniška stvaritev združuje klasično kitajsko umetnost z izraznimi gestami abstraktnega ekspresionizma.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: "Cheers To Macau" conveys conceptual significance by transforming aluminum beer cans into crumpled porcelain. This artistic approach highlights Macau's unique cultural fusion while symbolizing modern environmental consciousness. The design incorporates elements such as the Ruins of St. Paul‘s, intricate Portuguese tile patterns, bilingual text in Chinese and English, and dynamic gold accents. These are complemented by cursive Chinese calligraphy inspired by the lotus motif, merging traditional Chinese art with the expressive energy of Abstract Expressionism.
Dimensions & Packaging: The size of this work is variable and it could be displayed in many different ways, such as hanging the porcelain cans on the wall to create an art installation or framed in an acrylic box frame.
Tags: Culture Industry Design, Cultural Heritage, Calligraphy Design, Bland Visual Extension Design
Production Technology: This is a cultural heritage bland extension design with 3D sculptural form in porcelain.
Design Challenge: Cheers To Macau is a brand extension culture industry design for Macau Beer. It embodies rich conceptual meanings through the transformation of mediums. The Western aluminum beer cans metamorphose into Jingdezhen blue-and-white porcelain, symbolizing Macau’s blend of Chinese and Western cultures over the past four centuries. This project promotes Macau Beer by highlighting the cultural connection between the artworks and Macau's history.
Research: The design incorporates elements such as the motifs of Macau city flower lotus, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, and Portuguese tile patterns, as well as the gold splashes. These elements underscore Macau’s unique historical journey. The wild cursive Chinese calligraphy on the cans features ancient Chinese poetry centered around the lotus theme, blending traditional Chinese art with the gesture abstraction of Western Abstract Expressionism. The faded Chinese text derive from Sun Yat-sen’s famous quote in Zheng Guanying's "Words of Warning in Prosperous Times," representing the ideals of Chinese thinkers in Macau during the late Qing Dynasty, just before the establishment of the Republic of China.
Inspiration: The most exhilarating aspect of this design project lies in integrating brand and visual extension design into a three-dimensional sculptural form. Furthermore, the interplay between diverse mediums and textual elements adds an intriguing and stimulating dimension. The fusion of graphic design and sculpture opens up possibilities for engaging viewers!
Project Duration: This project started in Macao in 2023 and finished in 2024. The work has been exhibited in Macao Contemporary Art Center, and received many awards internationally, including 100 Best Annual in Creative Quarterly International Art competition in New York, USA; RedDot Award: Best of the Best in Berlin, Germany; and Silver Award in The Second Quanzhou Zayton Cup International Design Competition in China.
