Best Use of Colour in the Arts
Madam Butterfly by English National Opera

Dulux Let's Colour Awards 2014 Best Use of Colour in the Arts.

The late Anthony Minghella’s Olivier Award-winning take on ‘Madam Butterfly’, produced for and performed by English National Opera, was hailed by the Sunday Telegraph as ‘the most beautiful show of the year in operatic London’. The story documents a clash of cultures and a tragic love story between a young Japanese girl who falls in love with an American naval officer. This iconic opera was strongly inspired by Japanese culture and was brought to life with colour through elaborate costumes and spectacular sets.

 

Colour Ambassador
Alex Box

Dulux Let's Colour Awards 2014 Colour Ambassador.

As the Creative Director for cult make-up brand Illamasqua, Alex Box is instrumental in shaping the brand’s product development, imagery and creative vision from conception to execution. Her masterful work with shade, texture, contrast and bold use of colour brings to life the fantasy and creativity inherent in everyone, inspiring them to explore and express their alter ego.

 

Colour Moment of the Year (winner of the public vote)
The Color Run  

Dulux Let's Colour Awards 2014 Colour Moment of the Year.

‘The Color Run’, also known as the ‘Happiest 5k on the Planet’, is a unique colour race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community. The run is less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life. A five-kilometre un-timed race, where thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colours at each kilometre. The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic ‘Color Festival’, using more coloured powder to create happiness and lasting memories, not to mention millions of vivid colour combinations.

 

Contribution to Colour
Michael Craig-Martin

Dulux Let's Colour Awards 2014 Contribution to Colour.

Known for his intensely colourful paintings, installations and public displays – colour is at the centre of artist and painter Michael Craig-Martin’s work. Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1941, he was raised and educated in the United States, studying Fine Art at the Yale University School of Art. At Yale he studied under Josef Albers, whose famous colour course taught artists to investigate colour and its interactions in an almost scientific way.
