On the opening day of the exhibition, Fang Yi and Qu Gu drove their cars to the Provincial Art Museum with their friends. In addition to Wei Jin, Tao Yong and Wang Hongqi, there was also Yan Daqi who came from the capital yesterday. Yan Daqi was in the two cars.
Senior brother is sent here as a representative from Mr. Xu Shize.
As a master of domestic oil painting, Liu Hongshuo has offended many people, but he still has some friends. At such an old age, he always has a few stakes in the painting world.
Today is the first joint exhibition between Liu Hongshuo and his disciple Fang Yi. All his friends in Shicheng are here. Friends from other places who cannot come will basically send a representative like Xu Shize. This representative is usually one of his disciples or children.
As for the middle-aged painters in Shicheng, nine out of ten will come to the exhibition hall. Even if Fang Yi is not too cold, Liu Hongshuo, one of the two artists in Shicheng, still has to come to appreciate the paintings in person.
The two cars arrived at the venue and found a parking space and stopped. After getting out of the car, Fang Yi took out his ID card from his pocket and hung it around his neck. He took his senior brother and friends to the door and showed the ID card hanging on his chest to the security guard.
Walk inside.
The grandeur of the Provincial Art Museum cannot be compared with that of the Municipal Art Museum. It is surrounded by an open square and the flower ponds everywhere are lush and colorful! Countless plants and flowers make the Art Museum less majestic but more majestic.
It is very beautiful and soft. The outer layer of the four-story building is covered with gray and white marble, and the lines and reliefs on the building are
It is clearly visible. The art museum is only four floors tall but is nearly 25 meters high. You can see the height of each floor inside the building. There are eight marble pillars with a diameter of about 1.5 meters at the entrance, which extend to the cornice on the top floor and above the cornice.
There are several strong and powerful relief characters written on the Jiangnan Provincial Art Museum. It seems that these characters are signed by the calligrapher Mr. Qi Gong.
Master and apprentice Fang Yi only have twenty or thirty works in total. Of course, it is impossible for them to use such a large art museum. If these paintings are thrown into such a large place, people may not think they are works. It is the art museum itself.
As for the decorations hanging on the walls, the exhibition hall of the master and the apprentice is in a medium-sized exhibition hall on the second floor.
It's not yet time to launch, but as one of the exhibitors, Fang Yi must come early and welcome the guests with his teacher!
As soon as the group entered the exhibition hall, Fang Yi saw Zheng Xiaopeng with a smile on his face at first sight, directing the staff to place some mineral water for drinking.
"Brother Zheng!" Fang Yi walked up to Zheng Xiaopeng, said hello and then asked: "Is the teacher here?".
"Here we come! We are chatting with Mr. Liu Yuchan and Zhang Chenglin over there." Zheng Xiaopeng smiled at Fang Yi, then nodded and said hello to Qu Gu and Wei Jin behind him. Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin were both there.
Having met the three of them in Yi's studio, they are considered familiar to each other, so there is no need for Fang Yi to introduce them.
Fang Yi helped introduce Zheng Xiaopeng and Yan Daqi: "Brother Yan, this is the owner of Jinpeng Gallery signed by my teacher. Zheng Xiaopeng, Mr. Zheng, Brother Zheng! This is my senior brother Yan Daqi."
Zheng Xiaopeng smiled and stretched out his hand to Yan Daqi and said, "I've heard about the famous name for a long time!".
How could anyone who opens a gallery not know Yan Daqi, a young and middle-aged artist who is currently in the limelight? Now some good people in the domestic painting circle have begun to spread the reputation of Bei Yan Nanlu. Beiyan refers to Yan Daqi, and Nanlu refers to Lu Qikun.
!The two of them are considered the best among young and middle-aged artists.
After chatting for a few words, Fang Yi said to Zheng Xiaopeng and Qu Gu: "My senior brother and I went over to say hello to the teacher, Teacher Liu, and Teacher Zhang! You guys chat first!".
After hearing this, Tao Yong said: "I'll go over too and say hello to Teacher Zhang!" Tao Yong received a lot of guidance from Zhang Chenglin during this period. Of course, it was polite to go over and say hello.
After hearing this, Zheng Xiaopeng opened his mouth and said to Tao Yong: "Then come to me when you are fine. I have something to discuss with you!".
After listening to Zheng Xiaopeng's words, Tao Yong nodded and followed Fang Yi and Yan Daqi towards the place where the three old people pointed out by Zheng Xiaopeng were staying.
"Teacher! Teacher Liu, Mr. Zhang!" Fang Yi and the other three greeted each other.
Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and the others and said with a smile: "It's not time for the exhibition yet, so you don't have to accompany us. Go and look at the paintings yourself. When it's time for the exhibition, just wait for me at the door!"
Today's art exhibition was not open to the public. Not even journalists came, only friends of master and apprentice Liu Hongshuo and Fang Yi, and some artists from Shicheng. There were no leaders' speeches to encourage creation in this joint exhibition of masters and apprentices.
Not only Fang Yi, but also Liu Hongshuo himself hated this tone. All unnecessary lines were reduced, leaving only the master and the apprentice standing at the door to greet the guests who took about twenty minutes to half an hour.
After listening to the teacher's words, Fang Yi took his senior brother to see the paintings, while Tao Yong went to Zheng Xiaopeng to discuss something.
At this time, Yan Daqi saw Fang Yi's post-impressionist style works for the first time. He looked more carefully at this style of work. After looking at a few pieces, he turned to Fang Yi, his junior brother, and said, "You have made great progress.
!It was just over a year since I last saw your paintings!
Now we have reached a point where we are able to deal with complex relationships in the picture and some difficult techniques with ease! Now that the painting style has post-impressionism, it will not turn into abstract lyricism at any time. Please tell me earlier, let us brothers and sisters work together
Have a joint exhibition!”.
"Abstract lyrical style?" Fang Yi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet! But I might paint some in the future. But my main focus is on classical realistic techniques! These later
The impressionistic style things are just a kind of spice for me!".
Repeating his own techniques over and over again, for Fang Yi, there is not much fun left in breaking through the bottleneck. Now he is facing a new bottleneck. He has finished painting the triptych of the altar statue, with a silver-blue tone.
Fang Yi can no longer be satisfied. Pure repetition is of course empty and boring. Sometimes Fang Yi will feel bored. These post-impressionism works are improvisations when adjusting and taking a break. They do not represent Fang Yi's understanding of the subject.
The focus of his later creations was exclusively Impressionism.
Fang Yi is also not sure that he will not create abstract works in the future. It depends on his mood. He cannot draw a circle for himself, what he must not do or what he must do. Sometimes following one's heart is the source of inspiration for creative people.
Come on, whatever you draw is what you draw.
The two brothers were watching and chatting, and soon it was time to start. Fang Yi naturally followed the teacher to the door, greeting some of the teacher's friends, as well as the juniors who came on behalf of their friends. However, these juniors all looked like Fang Yi.
Yi is older than ten years old, so Fang Yi only has this
Brother, this sister called me all the way. Fortunately, there was Yan Daqi next to him, who was Fang Yi's fellow disciple. He was able to greet these people easily, which greatly relieved Fang Yi's psychological pressure. Based on the opinions of these brothers and sisters, Fang
Yi has nothing to talk about in his twenties except art.
After greeting the guests for more than half an hour, Fang Yi picked up a bottle of mineral water and hid aside to be lazy for a while. Anyway, it was time to arrive and the guests had almost arrived.
As soon as he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and before the mouth of the bottle was brought to his mouth, he saw Zheng Xiaopeng walking towards him with a smile: "Fang Yi! Why are you staying here to hide and relax?".
"Brother Zheng!" Fang Yi greeted Zheng Xiaopeng.
He thought that this person came here to hide for a few minutes just like him, but what he said next made Fang Yi know that he was wrong and that he was here just after him.
Zheng Xiaopeng smiled and said to Fang Yi: "We at Jinpeng want to sign Qu Gu and the three of them! There are no problems with Wei Jin and Tao Yong, but you can tell me about Qu Gu!".
"This is a good thing! But they are still in school now and will graduate in a year! Are you ready to take action so soon?" Fang Yi asked with a smile after hearing this and took a sip of water. The three dorm mates were so quick.
When Fang Yi was able to sign a contract with the gallery, he was happy for them, which meant that in the future, the three of them had already waved their hands to the bowl of art.
Zheng Xiaopeng said: "Be quick to start, but slow to start!" The early stage of operation lasted more than a year, and the time was about the same. We were originally optimistic about Wang Hongqi, but we wanted to wait and observe again. Who knew that we would be beaten by Lu in this wait?
The gallery signed by Qi Kun has taken the lead! It’s better to make up your mind early now. Not only Qu Gu and the others, we are also a little interested in Zhu Zheng!”
If you want to draw well, talent is one aspect. You also need to read more, think more and draw more. It goes without saying that you should draw more. See more. Obviously, you need to see more good paintings, so that you can know what others are good at and whether they can do something for you.
I use it, so I don’t need to explain it if I think about it.
Fang Yi hasn't thought about the meaning of his small circle yet. To Fang Yi, they are just good friends who he can chat with. He often holds salons to see everyone's latest works and discuss painting skills. Everyone is happy.
Eat, drink, etc.
In fact, looking at this circle as a whole, there are three masters Liu Hongshuo, Liu Yuchan and Zhang Chenglin at the top, and Fang Yi himself at the bottom. The more famous ones now are Lu Qikun, Pang Xiaoyong, Lang Yanguang and Zhou Tong, plus some are starting to appear.
The nickname Wang Hongqi, the less famous ones are Qu Gu, Tao Yong, Wei Jin, Zhao Jie who came here from time to time and failed the stone art test again, and Zhu Zheng who finally melted in. This is helpful for people in the circle to improve their skills.
of external conditions.
Not to mention others, when Qu Gu and his three roommates entered the school, they also scored very high in the art test, ninety-nine and ninety-five. Without Fang Yi, who was the best in the art test, the three of them might have been able to do it.
With two perfect scores, I can say that I have a bit of talent. Being in such a small circle, it is nonsense to say that it has been passed down through the ages, but it is really easier than others to get into the art world.
Too many.
There is no comparison in terms of resources. Just like now, people from Jinpeng have noticed the three of Qu Gu. Not to mention the students at the school, even the young teachers of stone art, there are a lot of them who cannot be signed to the gallery.
! And the people I have come into contact with are not comparable. Not to mention Liu Hongshuo and the other three, Lu Qikun has such a character.
He just made a name for himself in China. If Fang Yi's paintings were mediocre, Lu Qikun would have no interest in attending any of the salons run by Fang Yi. The level was too low! He wouldn't have anything to do with students like Zhu Zheng who were still in the second grade.
Intersection! Unless Zhu Zheng can one day draw the eyes of people like Lu Qikun. (To be continued...)
