“TIMES LIKE THESE” by Peter Yuill
We caught up with Hongkong based artist Peter Yuill, who’s custom Skullcandy Aviator headphone is an addition to the SDA 2012 tour. Find out more about the artist and his work “TIMES LIKE THESE”:
SDA滑板板面艺术展问：请向我们介绍一下你和你的作品。
PETER YUILL答：
我出生在加拿大，也那里受的教育，我在香港生活和工作已经两年了。我的作品主要和机械的神圣性有关，描绘它在我们的生活和人类生存发展中发挥的重要作用。我也喜欢在作品中探索符号、爱国主义和帝国的强大和诱人的本性。
问：在SDA艺术展上，与Skullcandy合作有什么特别之处？
答：这次展览对我来说是一个很好的机会，让我尝试用我通常不会用到的媒材进行创作。对我来说，在滑板板面上创作是一次非同常规的经历，并且我真的很享受接受这一独特挑战的过程。
问：这件特殊的作品灵感来自哪里？
答：我的这幅作品灵感来自大英帝国和香港发展的关系，以及英帝国对这座城市的持久影响力；以及像香港这样的殖民地如何帮助大英帝国发展成为世界上最强大的帝国。
问：SDA艺术展的概念很独特，它打破了板类运动、美术和城市艺术之间的界限。请告诉我们你在这次群展中的贡献，以及这一概念对你的Skullcandy作品的创作产生了什么影响。
答：我不仅创作了一个滑板板面作品，我还定制了一对Skullcandy Aviator飞行员耳罩式耳机。我尝试创造珍珠般的光滑外形，但又带一点工作室里坚韧不拔的氛围，就像是艺术家们的工作耳机那样。同时，我还在一副耳机上绘制了香港的标志性建筑——唐楼，它也一直或多或少地影响着我的艺术创作。
SKATE DECK ART / Q Please tell us more about yourself and your work !
PETER YUILL / A
I was born in and educated in Canada and have been living and working in Hong Kong for two years.
My work deals with the divinity of the machine, the role it plays in our lives and with the development of the human existence. I also explore the powerful and seductive nature of symbols, nationalism, and empire.
Q What is special about the collaboration with Skullcandy for SDA?
A This exhibition is a great opportunity for me to explore working with other mediums that I usually don't get to work with. Doing the piece on the skateboard deck was a great step outside the norm for me and I really enjoyed the unique challenges it had.
Q What is the inspiration for this particular artwork?
A My inspiration for this piece is the relationship of the British Empire to the development of Hongkong and the lasting impact it has had on the city. As well as how colonies like Hongkong helped to build the British Empire into the most power empire on the planet.
Q SDA is a unique concept and breaks down borders between boardsports, fine art and urban art. Tell us more about your contribution in the group show and how it influenced your creation for Skullcandy.
A Not only did I create a skateboard piece but I also customized a set of Skullcandy Aviator headphones. I tried to create a pearly glassy look but with a gritty studio vibe like they were an artists working headphones. I also drew on one of Hongkong signature Tong Lau buildings which always influence my work in one way or another.
