MAGNETIC PRESS LANZA MONGOLIAN WIND

 

La editorial Magnetic Press, nominada a varios premios Eisner, anuncia la publicación de MONGOLIAN WIND, un libro de arte increíblemente ilustrado por el creador Lu Ming, que es reconocido como el representante de los cómics realistas chinos.

Pocos artistas son tan completos como Lu Ming. Conocido por sus cómics hiperrealistas y su universo inspirado tanto en la música medieval (china y europea) como en la música (también es guitarrista y baterista profesional), esta colección es una mirada a sus pinturas, ilustraciones publicitarias (por las que ganó una Palme d'or en el festival Cannes Lion en 2008), guiones gráficos y trabajos de diseño conceptual para largometrajes (incluido el legendario Tsui Hark's FLYING SABERS) y sus esculturas (incluido el monumental DESERT GRADE presentado en el festival Burning Man en Nevada) ".

Lu Ming, el primer ilustrador chino en ganar un León de Oro en el Festival Internacional de Creatividad Cannes Lions, creó MONGOLIAN WIND porque sintió la necesidad de representar correctamente la cultura y la historia chinas ante el mundo: "Siento que tengo una especie de misión o deber convincente. Siento que se me ha dado la responsabilidad de asegurarme de que la gente no olvide el pasado. Muchas de las obras que pinté, así como algunas esculturas que hice, muestran una especie de belleza que ha murió. No importa quién lo olvide, siempre lo recordaré, ¡y luego recordaré obstinadamente a la gente que alguna vez existieron! "

El editor de Magnetic Press, Mike Kennedy, agregó: “Después de encontrarnos por primera vez con HARD MELODY, quedamos impresionados con el talento puro de Lu Ming y teníamos que ver más. MONGOLIAN WIND recopila un montón de sus trabajos anteriores en cómics, publicidad, bellas artes y cine, mostrando su amplia versatilidad y reflexivas observaciones sobre la vida, el linaje, la historia y la tradición. Sus habilidades artísticas son monumentales e inspiradoras, y estamos emocionados de compartirlas con este hermoso libro de arte ".

Por estas importantes razones, MONGOLIAN WIND se lanzará en mayo de 2021 en celebración del Mes de la Herencia Asiático-Americana. Este libro de arte contendrá 120 páginas y se presentará en una tapa dura premium de 9 x 12 " y ya está disponible para pre-pedido con un 21% de descuento, reduzca el precio a solo $ 15,99 del precio de portada de $ 19,99: https : //store.magnetic-press.com/search? type = product & q = lu + ming

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL

Magnetic Press Announces
MONGOLIAN WIND – The Art of Lu Ming

New York, March 4th, 2021 -- Multiple Eisner Award-nominated publisher Magnetic Press is announcing their publication of MONGOLIAN WIND, an amazingly illustrated artbook by creator Lu Ming, who is celebrated as the representative of Chinese realist comics.

Few artists are as complete as Lu Ming. Known for his hyper-realistic comics and his universe inspired by both medieval (Chinese and European) and music (he is also a professional guitarist and drummer), this collection is a look at his paintings, advertising illustrations (for which he won a Palme d'or at the Cannes Lion festival in 2008), storyboard and conceptual design work for feature films (including the legendary Tsui Hark's FLYING SABERS), and his sculptures (including the monumental DESERT GRADE presented at the Burning Man festival in Nevada).”

Lu Ming, the first Chinese illustrator to win a Gold Lion at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, created MONGOLIAN WIND because he felt the need to properly represent Chinese culture and history properly to the world: "I feel that I have sort of a compelling mission or duty. I feel that I have been given a responsibility to make sure people do not forget the past. Many of the works I painted, as well as some sculptures I’ve made, are all showing a kind of beauty that has died. No matter who forgets, I will always remember, and then stubbornly remind people that they once existed!”

Magnetic Press Publisher Mike Kennedy added, “After first coming across HARD MELODY, we were blown away by Lu Ming’s raw talent and had to see more. MONGOLIAN WIND collects a bunch of his previous works in comics, advertising, fine art, and film, showcasing his broad versatility and thoughtful observations about life, lineage, history, and tradition. His artistic skills are monumental and inspiring, and we’re excited to share them with this beautiful art book.”

For these important reasons, MONGOLIAN WIND is being released in May 2021 in celebration of Asian American Heritage Month. This artbook will contain 120 pages and presented in a gallery-sized 9x12" premium hardcover with spot UV and curved corners and is already available for pre-order at 21% off bring the price down to only $15.99 from the cover price of $19.99: https://store.magnetic-press.com/search?type=product&q=lu+ming
