繁體中文

阮大勇1941年生於浙江慈谿,在上海完成初中後,於1957年南下香港,先後任職紗廠和布行,也曾短暫在永華片場當美術主任費伯夷的私人助理。其後他進入朗文出版社當插畫師,再到格蘭廣告公司任職九年,晉升至美術主任。1975至81年間,他先後在Z Productions、Malcolm Glenn Advertising Ltd(即J. Walter Thompson廣告公司的前身)出任美術主任。1975年他繪成首張電影海報《天才與白痴》,翌年完成《半斤八両》,名聲漸響,邀約紛至,包括為黎應就與麥嘉的奮鬥影業設計海報。新藝城成立之初,他以部頭形式替其設計及繪畫海報,同期也為嘉禾創作。1981年11月,新藝城與金公主聯合聘用他為美術主任,除為新藝城設計海報插畫外,亦替金公主發行的電影製作報刊廣告。隨著金公主在1992年停止運作,他亦大幅減產,擱筆前最後作品為《笑俠楚留香》(1993)。1995年他移民新西蘭,經歷近十年創作真空,2007年回流後才再執畫筆,純以消遣為主,偶然之作包括《臥底巨星》(2018)的海報。阮大勇自學成才,從未隨師研習,尤擅人像;他筆下的漫畫式人物肖像海報佈局工整、畫功細緻,能傳神捕捉輪廓再賦予卡通化處理。七十至九十年代他繪畫約二百幅電影海報,包括《贊先生與找錢華》(1978)、《雜家小子》(1979)、《最佳拍檔》(1982)、《A計劃》(1982)、《陰陽錯》(1983)、《雞同鴨講》(1988)與《籠民》(1992)等,另有李小龍四部電影的海外版海報及周星馳主演作品的海報,並為《玉郎漫畫》繪畫自創刊起共256期的封面。他於2017年獲第36屆香港電影金像獎專業精神獎,翌年獲世界傑出華人藝術家大獎。

Yuen Tai-yung was born in Cixi, Zhejiang in 1941. After finishing junior secondary school in Shanghai, he moved south to Hong Kong in 1957, working first in a cotton mill and a cloth firm and briefly as a personal assistant to the art director Fei Bo-yee at the Yonghua studio. He then became an illustrator at Longman and spent nine years at Grant Advertising, rising to art director; between 1975 and 1981 he held art-director posts at Z Productions and Malcolm Glenn Advertising Ltd, forerunner of J. Walter Thompson. His first film poster came in 1975, and the following year's The Private Eyes made his name; commissions multiplied, including work for the Fan Shih circle around Lai Ying-chow and Karl Maka. When Cinema City was formed he designed its posters on a freelance basis while also serving Golden Harvest, and in November 1981 Cinema City and Golden Princess jointly hired him as art director, handling both its posters and newspaper advertising. After Golden Princess wound down in 1992 he cut back sharply, his last pre-retirement poster being for The Bare-Footed Kid (1993). He emigrated to New Zealand in 1995, returned in 2007 and resumed painting mainly for pleasure. Entirely self-taught and especially strong at portraiture, he painted some 200 film posters from the 1970s to the 1990s, including Warriors Two, Knockabout, Aces Go Places, Project A, Esprit d'amour, Chicken and Duck Talk and Cageman, plus all 256 covers of Jademan Comics. He received the Professional Achievement Award at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2017 and the World Outstanding Chinese Artist Award in 2018.

影響與傳承 Impact & Legacy

繁體中文

阮大勇以漫畫化而又講求形準的人物海報,為七十至九十年代港片建立了鮮明的視覺語言,被業界稱為香港電影海報教父。他設計的海報往往比電影本身更為人記住,成為一代觀眾的共同記憶。他自學成才的經歷,也說明視覺設計可以在體制外開花結果。

English

With caricatured yet anatomically faithful portraits, Yuen Tai-yung gave 1970s-to-1990s Hong Kong films a vivid visual language and is known in the trade as the godfather of Hong Kong film posters. His designs were often remembered better than the films themselves, becoming shared memories for a generation of cinemagoers. His self-taught path also showed that visual design could flourish outside the established institutions.
