Blanc, Three Color Trilogy
Victo Ngai
2016 marks 20 years since the death of Polish film director Krzysztof Kieślowski. I have the great honor to work with MK2 Productions in France and the great Black Dragon Press in the UK, which I previously collaborated on Tarkovsky’s Solaris Posters with, to celebrate his work by bringing you a set of original art posters for what turned out to be his last work, the iconic Three Colours Trilogy.
“Trois Couleurs: Blanc”, an epic 7-colour, 18” x 27” limited edition screen printed poster is the second of this series. In this image, I want to focus on Karol’s obsession for his ex-wife Dominique. It is this obsession that motivates him to get back on his feet, engages in dangerous endeavors which are not within his previous character, and discovering the other side of himself along the way.
I think the bust he stole is the tangible embodiment of this obsession, a motif that strings along the whole transformation. We see Karol projecting all kinds of emotion for Dominique on this bust, including the protective tenderness when he is gluing the broken bust back together, which I think draws an interesting parallel with his broken marriage and later Dominique wanting to reconcile at the end of the film.
As I mentioned in the ‘Bleu’ interview with Evil Tender, illustration is the story-telling in one frame, so I want to focus on the tipping-point, showing Karol’s first determination to take charge of the situation he passively and unwillingly ended up in, in the quest of revenge or mending his failed marriage.
‘White’ goes on sale Friday December 9th at 3pm UK time (GMT) from The Black Dragon Press Store.

Bleu, Color Trilogy
Victo Ngai
2016 marks 20 years since the death of Polish film director Krzysztof Kieślowski. I have the great honor to work with MK2 Productions in France and the great Black Dragon Press in the UK, which I previously collaborated on Tarkovsky’s Solaris Posters with, to celebrate his work by bringing you a set of original art posters for what turned out to be his last work, the iconic Three Colours Trilogy.
“Trois Couleurs: Bleu”, an epic 11-colour, 18” x 27” screen printed poster is the first of this series. In this single image, I attempted to capture the overall mood and structure of the film. To our heroine, the color blue is the devastation of losing her family to a car crash, but also the safe haven of a public swimming pool, where she learns to heal and eventually let go.
Bleu officially goes on sale this Thursday October 6th at 6pm UK time, but up until then you can subscribe to the whole series for the special price of £40 per print plus a one off shipping charge. Otherwise you can purchase Bleu on its own for £50 for the first 40 orders, £70 for the following 40 and £90 for the last 20 orders. The final edition number will be the number of subs + 100.
