“Start  起．點” ─2UP Studio像素藝術展

“Start” – Exhibition of Pixel Art by 2UP Studio

“Start”作為“2UP”第一次發表藝術創作之展覽名，有一種新生、開展的意思，亦與我們這一代受着電子遊戲文化之影響相關。中文譯作“起．點”，起是我們創作的開始，點為Pixel(像素)的意思。

澳門發展至今已成為國際有名氣的旅遊城市，有著中葡文化融滙結合的特色，也是一個五臓俱全的彈丸之地。從遠看它，城市裡很多微小的地方都像單獨的小點（有如PIXEL ART風格般），在有限度的空間內呈現了澳門的文化特色，就像一個個像素堆砌起的畫作。

展覽作品通過像素風格去表現澳門城市風光、環境狀況、生活中具特色的小人物，反映著澳門色彩，小城生活軼事，通過有趣玩味的手法帶出另類視覺效果，令人會心微笑，產生共鳴。

Entitled “Start” (Qi‧Dian), meaning ‘rebirth and unfolding’, 2UP’s debut art exhibition presents the influences of video game culture on the younger generation, with Qi symbolizing the beginning of the studio’s creative career and Dian meaning pixels.

A tiny land with full amenities, Macao has become an internationally renowned touristic destination where Chinese and Western cultures interplay. Viewed from afar, the city looks like a patchwork of dot-like blocks resembling pixels in pixel art; in other words, like a pixel painting, oozing distinct local flavours.

These pixel pictures show Macao’s cityscape, its surroundings and characteristic figures, full of distinctive flair, reflecting what’s going on in this micro-megacity, offering light-hearted, alternative visual effects that elicit chuckles and strike a chord with viewers.
