========================================================================
Imagine Nation Studios X Secret Fresh proudly presents:
“VADERBOY SHOW”
May 4th, Sunday @ Secret Fresh Gallery 1.
Dubbed as May-the-4th-PH, this event was coined out of love of the epic series that made everyone a fan of anything and everything Star Wars, which then translated into art in the form of paintings and sculptures. What started as a pun created for a congratulatory advertising material in The London Evening News in honor of Margaret Thatcher’s victory as Britain’s first woman Prime Minister, it has since then become the unofficial Star Wars day celebrated worldwide. Through the years, Star Wars have made an impact to most people and is not just a movie, but is now part of our culture. 2014 marks as the 37th anniversary since the first film from the series was released, and our lives has been changed ever since. What started as a small project by George Lucas back in the 70’s, both official partners and fans alike have since then created books, toys, movie props, and conventions in order to keep the spirit of force alive. Star Wars made an incredible mark into pop culture in all age brackets imaginable and will forever remain in the hearts of fans and geeks worldwide.
About the show:
VADERBOY Show marks as the second Star Wars related collaboration of Imagine Nation Studios with Secret Fresh; the dark side of the force is indeed irresistible, after all. Upon learning that May 4 lands on a Sunday, we know we just had to push through with this event no matter what. Conceptualized right after wrapping up the TROOPERBOY Show last December, VADERBOY is a representation of a kid’s playful imagination of someday ruling the galaxy far far away. Armed with a mini lightsabre, control chestplate, and a cape to complete his look; he dreams of one day having an incredible journey with his trooperboys and plan to conquer the darkside of the force together.
Event activities includes the grand launch of VADERBOY, custom VADERHEADS exhibition by various artists, film viewing of all 6 Star Wars movies and documentaries, live-art painting session open to all the artists attending the show, and a special participation of the 501st Legion Philippine Outpost.
