The LONGINES MASTERS SERIES continues its Journey Across Continents, and will be arriving in the French Capital from November 29 to December 02, 2018 for the European Leg of the Grand Slam Indoor of Show Jumping. The Longines Masters of Paris, where the Series initially started, has become the Not-To-Be-Missed Event on the Capital's Sporting and Cultural Calendar, where Movie and TV Stars (some Riding in the Invitational and Prestige Trophies), Business Decision Makers and World Class Riders will be eager to gather.
The International Show Jumping Series kicks off in Europe celebrating the 10th Edition of "Longines Masters of Paris", followed by the "Longines Masters of Hong Kong", 15-17 February 2019 with the "Asia Horse Week", before setting sail for its Final Stage with the "Longines Masters of New York", 25-28 April 2019.
This Parisian Event, which is held in the Aegis of the "Salon du Cheval of Paris" and welcomes nearly 200,000 Visitors each year, is well-known for its Atmosphere made Unique in the World. For the Fourth Season, EEM entrusted the Image to the Young and Talented Selman Hosgör who is a London-Based Multidisciplinary Visual Artist. He completed his Undergraduate Degree in Graphic Design at Kadir Has University in Istanbul. He also a followed a Professional Development Course in Illustration and Typography at Central Saint Martins in London.
He said : "For me Paris is the City of Literature and Fashion. I got to pick Blue as the Main Color because it represents the Intellectuality and the Calming Impact of Literature and the Timelessness of Fashion despite having been changed over the Course of Years. Other Vivid Colors I've included are the Result of the Indulgence of other Senses when Literature and Fashion are combined."... In the Hong Kong Design, I focused on the Traditional and Modern Lives living together, to the Hectic Streets of the City and the Multi-Colored Cuisine Culture. I expressed the Blend of Modern and Traditional Lifestyles Boldly with Hues of Red. Moreover, the Hectic Streets and the Unlimitedly Colorful Cuisine with Blue and Green Colors. The Iconic Red Boat of the City, the Dynamism of the Horse and the Joy on the Faces of Spectators are the Perfect Description of Hong Kong for me....New York first comes Into Mind as the Metropolitan City of the World.I tried to display a Prominent Charm of the City, Diversity, using other Vivid Colors. The Iconic Statue of Liberty, Joyful People in the City and their Sense of becoming Free with Art are some other Factors I've been inspired while portraying NY."
