Have fun with art!

▎The most playful artist, but had a childhood shrouded in shadow

Hewei. Torre grew up in a family environment that was completely incompatible with art. His mother was a prisoner of war in World War II, and the shadow of war and poverty shrouded his childhood. As a teenager, he was bullied and ridiculed by teachers, which made him refuse to use painting as a form of self-expression.

He failed to apply for art college, but his unsatisfactory academic experience became a turning point in his life. Under the guidance of famous teachers and discussions among peers, before graduation, Torre had gained favor in the advertising industry, serving as the creative director of an advertising company, drawing illustrations for magazines, and was invited to collaborate with Hermès.

▎Interactive experience, "play" the artistic revolution in the children's book world!

An experience of visiting a backward community in Paris reminded him of the shadows of his childhood, and he firmly believed that only books could help children escape from a difficult environment and create more possibilities in life. Combining fun and inspiration became his creative concept, and the world-wide best-selling classic masterpiece "Little Yellow Dot" was born: take the book in your hand and turn it around, tap on the picture with your finger... through simple gestures, the story can be told From flat to three-dimensional. The interactive reading experience that broke away from the traditional became popular all over the world, and pushed him to a new career as a children's book writer.

▎The "ideal exhibition" where personal characteristics and group creativity blend together

Art is often labeled as "unattainable", but the artistic concept advocated by Torre is that everyone can enjoy the simplest and most primitive "fun" regardless of age, identity, or status. In 2018, he launched the "Ideal Exhibition", a global co-creation art project, which broke the "one phase, one session" time and space specification framework of previous exhibitions, and expanded the creation from "personal and perfect" to "everyone's, "Free", allowing the expression of creativity to become a part of group connection.

This book contains nearly 300 illustrations, sketches, pure artistic creations, and real-life photos of installation art. It is curated by the curator Alan. Ott and children's literature expert Reina. An introduction to Marcus's special article provides an in-depth understanding of his growth background, sources of inspiration, and creative methods through an overview of his creative process and the artist's self-analysis.

This is a colorful book that arouses readers' curiosity, full of experimental and improvisational spirit. It is deeply loved by parents, teachers, librarians, art lovers and creators. It is a must-read masterpiece for adult readers. As always, this innovator in the world of children's books returns with his new book, Make Art! 》Invite you to join the energetic creative journey!
