The five people invested in the research of new techniques, which means that they have pushed linearism one step further. Zou Heming, who was far away in the United States, was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news. He used it as a gift to the five people in the name of paying off the sales of the paintings for this exhibition.
, once again rushed to this small village in France.
Sitting on the sofa in the barn converted into a studio, the five of them sat face to face with their contracted gallery manager Zou Heming again.
"This is yours!" Zou Heming looked at the check in his hand, took out one and gave it to Rude opposite.
In Fang Yi's opinion, this American with Chinese ancestry seems to have contracted a bad habit. It's a bit like when Fang Yi heard in China that when Japanese companies pay bonuses, the little devil boss always
He likes to hand envelopes to every employee, make a 90-degree bow, and say thank you for your hard work. What Zou Heming is doing now makes Fang Yi think of this with a smile.
"Taxes and other things have been deducted! What's left now is your final income!" Zou Heming said to everyone while handing out the check in his hand.
Fang Yi took the check in his hand and looked at the number on it, which was US$670,000. He couldn't help but sigh: Americans' taxes are so high, how could he pay back 100,000 US dollars after all the fiddling with them?
It's a big deal. What about capital gains tax, sales tax, and customs fees for foreign painters like Fang Yi? The U.S. government has really gone to great lengths to collect taxes!
"Those who should buy a house should buy a house, and those who should trade warehouses should buy a sports car!" Zou Heming was very happy after dividing the money, because after adding up the checks in the hands of Fang Yi and the five people, multiplying by 0.8 is the income of his gallery.
The United States will earn more than one million by going around in a circle, which is certainly a happy thing.
Rude looked at the check in his hand. This time he sold the most paintings, so his income was the highest at over 760,000. Now he was looking at the number on the check with a confused look on his face and said: "I really don't know how to spend it!
”.
After hearing Rude's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but chuckle. He folded the check in his hand and put it into his pocket. Fang Yi turned to Zou Heming and said, "The house you mentioned last time has a lawn and beautiful scenery.
Find me one!".
"You want to move to the United States?" Keshima asked Fang Yi in surprise.
"I don't have any plans now, but I'm very interested in the place Lawrence mentioned. If I have the money, I'll buy one! It'll be good for me and Beronica to go on vacation later!" Fang Yi said to his friends.
said.
As soon as Fang Yi finished speaking, Zou Heming clapped his hands and said, "That's right, you keep the money you make and spend it! Let me know what size and size you plan to buy and what special requirements you have.
When you go back, I will help you find a real estate agent! If it is more expensive, there will be a tax refund!"
After thinking for a while, Fang Yi said: "The numbers are based on the amount of this check. The house should be better, preferably with good living facilities, and then the requirements are those, beautiful mountains and clear waters, streams and trees.
It can’t be too far from the city, and it’s not good to be as far away as this small village! It takes thirty or forty minutes to drive into the city, and there is a small river running through it. Don’t give me anything to grow crops, I plan to
Just keep it for grass!”
"It's a bit difficult to get into the city in thirty or forty minutes as you mentioned. Los Angeles is not small. A thirty-forty-minute drive to the city center is just outside the city. The traffic jam in Los Angeles is also very serious. Farming and animal husbandry
The field is not so close, and you still have mountains and rivers." Zou Heming shook his head: "It's more difficult!".
Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "Then let's go to the edge of the city in half an hour! The main thing is it's quiet and natural."
"This is no problem!" After Zou Heming finished speaking, he pointed at Fang Yi and looked at the others and said: "This is the one who knows how to spend money. He spent the money as soon as he got it! He can also get some tax refunds on the way."
Keshima looked at Zou Heming with a bit of a bitter look on his face and said: "I really don't know where the money is spent! If we talk about buying a house, we will definitely not live in this small village forever. I can't think of where to live in the future.
Get up, I don’t have a plan for anything, how can I buy it!”.
"Why don't you buy a holiday home with me?" Fang Yi looked at a few friends and said, "In the future, we can all go on holiday together, and we can even go to each other's houses." Fang Yi also had thoughts about where he would eventually live.
I have no plans. Of course, considering market factors, it is best to live in the United States.
Altur said: "What if we hadn't moved to the United States? Anyway, the scenery I see in a small holiday house like Lawrence is pretty good, and it's not much different from here!". Regarding Europe, Altur said there is nothing wrong with it.
He has a sense of family and has been bullied since he was a child. Maybe this person is still looking forward to going to the United States.
"I don't really want to go to the United States!" Anders said: "I'm more used to living here in Europe!".
Rude said: "Let's not mention this. Anyway, we have plenty of time to slowly think about it. Once our techniques are perfected and maintained, it will take several months! Let's finish the painting first."
Zou Heming has seen several people's new research on color. Of course, most of them are from the canvases of Fang Yi and Keshima. The colors on Fang Yi's canvas are brighter and softer, and on Keshima's canvas, the colors are brighter and softer.
Ma's canvases are more passionate and vigorous. Compared with the original exhibition style, it has taken a deeper step towards an independent painting style. If it is completed, then the so-called linearism painting style can be established in the true sense. This is quite critical.
And an important step!
"How many more months? What do you think?" Zou Heming thought for a moment and asked the five people.
"It will take more than four months at the fastest, I estimate," Keshma said: "There are some problems that we haven't thought of a better solution to, that is, there are some problems with the processing of low-brightness colors!".
"Hurry up! Try to participate in next year's Venice Biennale! If it's quick, you can also try to participate in your respective national exhibitions. If not, I'll look for a curator to participate in the exhibition in a personal capacity!" Zou Heming thought for a moment and said: "
If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for another two years! I hope we can attract more public attention at this exhibition! It is best to get attention from mainstream media, so that it will be much easier to promote your works!"
Venice Biennale? Of course Fang Yi knows this exhibition and its significance. If you don’t look at anything else, just look at the winners over the years and you will know how it is the Oscar in the art world.
Sculptor Henry Moore, Picasso of Cubism, Matisse of Fauvism, Kandinsky, the originator of abstractionism, Miró, Mondrian and Chagall, and of course there are many, many masters. Including
In Fang Yi's opinion, they do not recognize their status as masters, such as Rauschenberg, the founder of Pop, and Marianne Abramovich, the mother of performance art, who are now canonized figures in the world's art world.
.
In short, this biennial organized by the Italians since 1895 is very impressive. There are many masters who have become gods here! Not only those who were famous before, but also those who are not famous will become rich immediately if they come back with a Golden Lion Award from here.
A hundred times. Sometimes things like a sparrow turning into a phoenix have happened before at the Venice Biennale, and they are happening now.
To see such a magical biennale, not to mention the fact that many people in China want to come here to make a fortune, even the foreign art circles are also following it, hoping to become famous all over the world.
Fang Yi thought about it and felt that he could not enter the national pavilion, because China's national pavilion has always been a stage for domestic exports of national consciousness to foreign countries. Under the baton of the state, the national pavilion of the Venice Biennale is full of orthodox exports by state departments.
National quintessence consciousness. No matter which angle Fang Yi thinks about, it is impossible for his works to enter the National Pavilion. First, it is an oil painting, and second, it is not Chinese-style enough!
Although many domestic artists are full of opinions and ridicule about China's national pavilion at the Venice Biennale, some people jokingly call it the 'Panda Pavilion'! There is also a lot of disdain for the quality of the curators, but it is still the case every year.
, ceramic silk Five Elements Bagua, and things like Yin and Yang reconciliation still come every year, every time, changing the soup without changing the medicine. There are
"It's still early, who knows what will happen next year!" Fang Yi said to Zou Heming.
Rude didn't care about the Venice Biennale. He was very interested in Fang Yi's new actions in the past two days and asked directly: "What are you doing with all those bottles and cans? Are you going to mix the paint yourself?".
"Yeah!" Fang Yi nodded in confirmation and continued: "Some colors don't satisfy me. I'm going to try to mix some, and I'll also play around with it to try to get some clearer and more suitable isolation media!".
Artur blinked and looked at Fang Yi, thought for a moment and asked: "Are you ready to practice the work of a gold sorcerer? Some paints will react with each other when added together!".
"Didn't you see that I bought some chemistry books? Besides, there is the Internet now! After looking at the main ingredients, I think they are almost the same!" Fang Yi explained to his friends.
After returning from the museum, Fang Yi started to mess around with mediums and other things. Some oils and mediums are not available on the market now, or some that were available in the past have disappeared. Fang Yi chose one or two types of oils and mediums that were suitable for several people's techniques.
Slowly 'research' and prepare it.
After hearing this, Anders shook his head and said: "Yi! I can't help you at this point. I dropped out of school! I don't know anything about this!".
"I can't help you either!" Rude opened his mouth and said.
The remaining two people also said that they could not help much.
"I'm just studying and taking a look. I'm pretty good at chemistry, but the reaction of these minerals shouldn't be so intense." Fang Yi opened his mouth and said. For Fang Yi, it's just to copy some useful things out of his mind.
, just prepare it, anyway, first 'research' the most needed media agents, and then we will talk about other things later, 'research' slowly! (To be continued...)
