100位启蒙艺术家04期｜巴黎奥运会海报设计者Ugo Gattoni
The Paris 2024 Olympic Committee enlisted the Parisian illustrator Ugo Gattoni, known for his skillful use of color, to design the official posters for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. To complete these posters, Gattoni worked in solitude in his studio from September 19th, 2023 to January 19th, 2024, spending a total of 2,000 hours hand-drawing them. He artfully integrated his signature personalized illustration style with the unique charm of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
巴黎2024奥组委聘请了以色彩运用见长的巴黎插画家乌戈·加托尼（Ugo Gattoni）负责创造本届奥运会和残奥会的主题海报。为了完成这幅海报的设计，加托尼从2023年9月19日至2024年1月19日期间一直在工作室闭关创作，总共花费了2000个小时来手绘了这两幅海报。他巧妙地将自己标志性的个性化插画风格与巴黎2024奥运会的独特魅力深度融合。
The two posters, representing the Olympics and Paralympics, can be displayed separately or side by side, demonstrating the equal importance of both events.
为了强调奥运会和残奥会的同等重要性，这两张海报既可以单独展示，也可以并置成一幅巨大的完整作品，左侧代表奥运会，右侧代表残奥会。
Breaking from the traditionally minimalist style of Olympic posters, Gattoni’s designs are rich in elements and detail. The Seine River flows through the image, and its intricate details are so precise that even thousands of tiny characters are clear, creating a beauty of complexity likened to a “French version of ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival.'”
这两张海报的设计破除了奥运海报传统上倾向于简约的风格，它们包含的元素众多，细节丰富，塞纳河贯穿画面，其内部细节精细到连数以万计的小人物都毫不含糊，充满极繁之美，因而被媒体誉为“法国版的塞纳上河图”。
In the nighttime version of the posters, Gattoni manually adjusted about 2,000 different colors, adding in fireworks and lighting effects to create a dynamic night scene.
而后发布的夜间版海报，Ugo Gattoni手动调整了大约2000种颜色，一一调色，加入了烟花和照明效果，使夜景更加生动。
Ugo Gattoni was born in Vitry-sur-Seine on the banks of the Seine in 1988. Formerly a competitive swimmer, he later attended the École Professionnelle Supérieure d’Arts Graphiques (EPSAA) in Paris and graduated in 2010.

“When I illustrate, I tell stories to myself, envisioning scenes that come to life, animated. It’s like delving deeper into the narrative. I can give my horses a way of walking, an emotion, etc. For me, it’s an excellent way to complete the story I want to tell, offering more elements to immerse the viewer in the world of my illustrations.” – French Illustrator Ugo Gattoni.
“每当我画画时，我都会对自己讲故事，想象画面变得生动，被赋予动画。这就像更深入地进入故事。我可以给我的马一个行走的方式，一个情绪等……对我来说，这是一个很好地完成我想要讲述的故事媒介，为沉浸在这个插画世界中提供更多元素。”——法国插画师 Ugo Gattoni
