NEW YORK, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutterstock,
Inc. (NYSE: SSTK), a leading global creative platform offering
full-service solutions, high-quality content, and tools for brands,
businesses and media companies, today announced the launch of its
ninth annual Oscar Pop! poster series to celebrate the Best Picture
nominees in the 93rd Academy Awards. Turning to world-famous pop
artists for aesthetic inspiration, our talented creative team
utilized Shutterstock's collection of over 360 million photos,
vectors, patterns, and textures to capture the spirit of the films,
while showcasing the infinite possibilities of these creative
assets.
The Oscar Pop! series is an opportunity to celebrate and
reinterpret the art of cinema through the art of design. Acclaimed
artists provide inspiration for the eight in-house Shutterstock
designers, whose pop art creations serve as a visual representation
of how iconic art, masterful storytelling, and creative passion can
come together to inspire artistic innovation. From the bubbly color
palette and black collage elements synonymous with Pauline Boty, the founder of the British Pop Art
movement, to the modern calligraphy depicted in Russian artist
Pokras Lampas's street projects, each poster represents the
individual and unique perspectives and interpretations of this
year's Best Picture nominees. Additionally, these posters highlight
the diverse, best-in-class content provided by Shutterstock's
global 1.6 million contributor community, which acts as the
foundation for these remarkable, one-of-a-kind works of art.
This year's list of nominated films and artists that inspired
the designers include: "The Father" inspired by Banksy, "Judas and
the Black Messiah" inspired by Emory
Douglas, "Mank" inspired by Yayoi
Kusama, "Minari" inspired by Peter
Max, "Nomadland" inspired by Johanna
Goodman, "Promising Young Woman" inspired by Pauline Boty, "Sound of Metal" inspired by
Jamie Hewlett, and "The Trial of the
Chicago 7" inspired by Pokras
Lampas.
"The 2021 Academy Award Best Picture nominees form an eclectic
shortlist, from the power of words and the pursuit of justice in
"The Trial of the Chicago 7," to a
Korean-American family's immigrant story in "Minari," these films
provide our team with endless inspiration for this annual poster
collection," said Flo Lau,
Creative Director at Shutterstock. "Now in its ninth year, the
Oscar Pop! series is a highlight for the creative team, who not
only produce fun, fresh works of art based on their personal
perspectives, they also leverage the exceptional talent from our
1.6 million contributor community."
In addition to the celebratory Oscar Pop! poster series,
Shutterstock will have access to the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony
on Sunday, April 25th, with coverage
of celebrity arrivals on the red carpet, as well as the general
photo room. Watch as the photos come in live here.
