My little life is like this. For three days every other week, Fang Yi and his friends give lessons to stone art students, mainly to demonstrate the linearist painting method. The rest of the time, Fang Yi stays by himself during the day.
In the studio, I go home to live with my parents at night.
During the day, they mainly continued to think about how to crack the trash can with a canvas expression that is close to conquering nature. As for Keshma and the four of them, when they took a break, they ran around looking for someone to learn about Chinese art. These days
The circle of friends of the four of them is much larger than that of Fang Yi. From time to time, they walk in the painter's village and raise their hands to give passers-by a mud howl, which is considered a source of enjoyment.
When Fang Yi was in the studio, Zhu Zheng and Zhao Jie would come to the studio, watching Fang Yi paint while asking Fang Yi questions, sometimes about technique, and more often about linearism.
There are some issues regarding style. Fang Yi also knows everything about these two issues and talks about them endlessly.
Life is going well, but it's like God has prepared it. Whatever you worry about, it will happen. This is what happened to Fang Yi now. A female student translator hooked up with Rude. And it was still...
Anders' translation mentioned earlier.
Fang Yi walked the dog around and returned to the small yard of the studio. When he was about to start painting, Rude came in with a translator who made Fang Yi feel a little nauseous.
"Yi! Why are you walking the dog so late today?" Lu De looked at Fang Yi and asked casually happily.
Fang Yi glanced at the woman holding Lu De's arm: "I got up a little late today!".
"Where are Keshima and the others?" Rude asked again.
"They all went to find their own friends."
"Then I'll also go to Poxialu's studio." Rude waved to Fang Yi, and turned around and walked out of Fang Yi's house with his translator and sleeping companion. Rude understood that Fang Yi didn't like being around him.
Not only did he not like this woman, but his displeasure was not concealed on his face. As Rude, he also knew that the woman next to him was no different from the current girlfriend of Artur, Ilia, whom he hated. They both had a crush on him.
Something. But Rude didn't care about this because he felt that he was not as simple a person as Artur.
Fang Yi looked at his friend and nodded, then turned and walked towards his studio. Now Rude is basically painting in Lu Qikun's studio. The two of them are talking about art while painting, and the model is the translator.
Just as they arrived at the door, they heard the sound of a car. They turned around and saw Zhu Zheng and Zhao Jie getting out of the car together. They were greeting Rude and the three of them chatted for a while. Zhu Zheng and Zhao Jie entered the small courtyard.
Door.
Zhu Zheng said to Fang Yi: "Rude went out to stay in the hotel tonight?". Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Zhu Zheng guessed that they came here in a taxi early in the morning.
"This is Rude's matter. Why do we care so much?" Fang Yi said with a smile. It is impossible for Rude and two to make trouble in Fang Yi's studio. Don't say that this is Rude's habit. This happened.
Fang Yi also specifically told his friend that I was doing shameful things in my studio. In fact, even if I didn’t mention Rude, I wouldn’t mess around in Fang Yi’s place. This linearist painter has that in spades.
House rent.
Fang Yi walked to the studio, picked up the brush and started painting on the canvas. Now there is no shape on Fang Yi's canvas. It looks like an abstractionist work. The patches of color and the lines look very special.
It's so messy that I can't see what it is. Fang Yi wants to push out the trash can step by step. How does this old thing do it? But obviously Fang Yi hasn't touched the door yet. After two strokes, he will stop and look at the canvas.
daze.
More than an hour later, while waiting for Fang Yi to rest, Zhu Zheng and Zhao Jie walked to Fang Yi's canvas.
"Fang Yi, I always don't do it well when I draw linearist colors. The difference between the colors before and after is too big." Zhu Zheng scratched his head and asked Fang Yi.
After hearing this, Fang Yi walked over to Zhu Zheng's canvas, looked at the canvas and said, "There is one missing secondary color." With the current level of Zhu Zheng and Zhao Jie, it is really a bit difficult to paint linearism well.
It's hard to force someone to do something difficult, Fang Yi and Ke
The fact that the five people from Xima can do it does not mean that Zhu Zheng and Zhao Jie can do it. In the past few days, there have been problems like this or that on the two canvases. In short, the basic skills are not solid enough, especially for classical realistic oil paintings.
Basic skills.
You can't even do the layers of dyeing in classical techniques, let alone something more difficult like linearism.
"You should focus on classical techniques first," Fang Yi said to the two suggestions: "If you can paint thirty or forty layers of skin color and dye it, then try to do this! Haste makes waste, and you can't do it without learning how to do it.
Just learn to run directly, and you already know how to draw, and the rest is just a matter of drawing more and practicing more.”
After putting forward his suggestions with Zhu Zheng and Zhao Jie, Fang Yi began to tell them about pure classical techniques. Although the academy of fine arts now pays attention to realistic kung fu, this kind of too pure classical technique
Let alone the domestic academy of fine arts,
Even European art academies teach less, on the one hand, because classical painting methods are too time-consuming, and on the other hand, modern oil painting pays attention to style and ideas. Since the emergence of Impressionism, the issue of likeness has been a problem.
It has given way to the expressiveness of the picture.
At this time, Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin of Jinpeng Gallery in Mingzhu were discussing the matter of holding a joint exhibition in the office. They had people like Zhou Tong gathered under them. They were all small gold mines, and they had to dig deeper no matter what. Now
The discussion was about domestic art exhibitions, but they already had a rough plan in mind for overseas exhibitions.
While the two were discussing the exhibition hall plan, the secretary opened the door and walked in, looked at the two of them and said: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Chen! There is a painter who said he made an appointment with you, and he came here with his works."
"Oh!" Chen Shenglin thought for a moment and said, "I forgot about this!". At this point, he said to the secretary: "Ask him to the reception room, we will be here right away!".
Watching the female secretary close the door and leave, Chen Shenglin explained to Zheng Xiaopeng who looked confused, saying who recommended this person, and he couldn't help but ask him to come and talk.
After hearing this, Zheng Xiaopeng shook his head slightly and said, "Then go and have a look!".
The current Jinpeng Gallery has gained quite a reputation in China. It is signed by Liu Hongshuo, and now there is also the so-called Shicheng Qijun launched by the middle management. Liu Hongshuo will not mention it, but the current name of Shicheng Qijun is managed by Jinpeng.
It is getting louder and louder. With such a model, many young and unknown painters are interested in Jin Peng
The gallery also has a certain understanding. Like today, there are one or two people who come through some small connections or self-recommendations almost every week. However, the more this happens, the more cautious Jinpeng becomes when signing contracts, because if the style is not too
The outstanding painters, Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin, preferred not to sign so as not to distract their energy.
When the two of them arrived in the reception room, they looked at the young painter in his early thirties sitting next to the sofa, and naturally looked at the work on hand.
After seeing his work, Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin looked at each other, and then both saw a wry smile in each other's eyes: Another linearist one!
After sitting down and chatting with this person for a while, the two of them pretended to look at his works. In fact, it was just a matter of face. As businessmen, I didn’t want to say something so unpleasant.
"My current style is developed based on linearism. I absorbed some elements from their works and incorporated my own style..." The man opened his mouth and talked to the two people who were looking at his work.
talk.
Chen Shenglin suppressed a smile after hearing this. Your work is just like Artur's, and it only uses some similar shapes. At first glance, it does have some meaning, but if you look closely, it's too far off.
First of all, the canvas of linearism works is transparent at first glance. Whether it is white or black, it seems to be melted into the canvas.
In a layer of transparent oil, you can see a sense of depth on the canvas. Especially Artur's works have a faint sense of haziness, as if there is a trace of smoke on the canvas. What do you think?
The work "Smoke" is there, but it is not transparent, and the whole thing is not transparent. This is not how linearism is drawn!
Zheng Xiaopeng shook his head inwardly when he heard this nonsense. That's not how linearism works. You just took a shape! There's still a long way to go! He even doubted whether this person had ever really seen Fang Yiwu face to face.
works of man.
After reading this person's work and listening to this person finish talking, Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin found an excuse to send this person out.
I watched this person take his work out of the company door and enter the elevator.
"Is this the first person we have encountered who said that he borrowed and incorporated the linearist style?" Zheng Xiaopeng said to him as he entered the elevator and asked Chen Shenglin next to him with a smile.
"The sixth one!" Chen Shenglin also had a smile on his lips: "Linearism in China is really booming now. People on the left and right say that they have absorbed the linearism style, but when they look at the works, they are really not flattering!"
.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Shenglin said: "Those who have this ability can't draw, and those who don't have this ability just stick to it. Now the linearism style has almost become a popular trend."
Linearism techniques are difficult to say, but it is not too difficult for senior painters who have been doing erotic oil painting for decades. Many painters of the older generation have been playing with realistic techniques since they picked up brushes, and now they want to paint linearism.
In terms of style, it may not be impossible. Just like at Liu Hongshuo's level, you will most likely know it just by looking at a painting by Fang Yi and others. At most, it is a matter of lack of paint.
However, such people are all domestic celebrities in their fifties and sixties, and they don't bother to devote themselves to the linearist style. The group of boys who started the faction are only in their thirties at most. How can you follow others at such an old age?
And it’s not like I’m not famous! At most, I can only use it for my own use, absorbing what I’m interested in in linearism.
People who have the ability to invest in linear style will not do so, while those who do not have the ability are trying to squeeze into the popular style. This situation makes Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin not sure what to say.
Fang Yi didn't know that his linearism style had become popular in China, and many young painters began to imitate his and his friends' styles. It is difficult to create such a thing, but once it is completed, you can
If you show this style, others will learn it
It's quite easy. Even if the young painters who don't have much talent can't do it for a while, as time goes by, the situation will slowly change. No matter how difficult it is, as long as you want to do it,
And you can always do it if you keep working hard. (To be continued...)
