As Fang Yi's mansion in the United States is getting closer and closer to completion, Fang Yi's interest in moving to his own big house is also increasing day by day. Not to mention that the scenery there is more in line with Fang Yi's aesthetics than this small village, let's talk about the oversized studio.
, the large heated swimming pool makes Fang Yi very happy, not to mention that he can bring both the round head and the flat head there. The big place allows the two dogs to play how they want.
At that time, Fang Yi chose three main places to live: China, the United States and France. France was the first to be excluded. In terms of the current interest of European collectors in his works, they cannot be compared with those in the United States.
Compared with other countries, France was the first to be eliminated.
Fang Yi thought about it for a while but gave up. Not to mention the difficulty of buying such a large piece of land in China, everyone knows that domestic land is valuable. The key factor is that the domestic oil painting market is still quite closed. To put it bluntly, it is a bit
The European and American markets are each playing their own game.
As for Fang Yi changing the standard of domestic oil painting by relying on his own skills and fame, Fang Yi does not think that he is the material. The influence is influential. As for change? Fang Yi breaks out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. Back then
My teacher may not have had this idea when he returned to China. Looking back at the performance of his works in the European market, he also wanted to do well. Moreover, the U.S. dollar at that time was not the U.S. dollar that has been declining now, and the world's currencies were still strong.
Fang Yi doesn't think he has the toughness of his teacher. He has the attitude of pointing cold fingers at thousands of people, bowing his head and willing to be a Confucian bull. No matter how much opposition there is in his ears, he still has the feeling that even though there are thousands of people, I will go alone.
Pride. Even now Liu Hongshuo is full of enthusiasm for the reform of stone art.
. Historically speaking, a reform, whether it is for an industry or a country, has to touch the interests of a large number of people and snatch the meat from others. Who will let you go? Don't say you are
Master! Are there too many temporary heroes who were pulled down due to reforms in history?
From this aspect, Fang Yi is not as good as his teacher Liu Hongshuo. The old man is tough and strong, and his desire for reform has not cooled down until now. However, Fang Yi's persistence and paranoia completely gave him his favorite paintings.
Fang Yi has no interest in doing other things or competing for interests with others, let alone doing them.
To put it simply, Fang Yi is like an otaku who excels in certain aspects. He prefers to focus on his own affairs and is not too sensitive to the outside world's reactions. Even such Fang Yi has a Taoist escapism.
Thoughts. Although Fang Yi has excellent painting skills, there are still some contradictions in him.
For example, sometimes I like to be more lively, and sometimes I like to sit quietly in front of my easel and play with my works. Although I speak pleasantly when talking to people, in my heart I pay more attention to my feelings about people and things.
.Compared with some maverick artists, such as Henry Poppy, who is now at the beginning of his rise
Put them together. On the surface, Fang Yi does not have the toughness and sharpness of this old man. If he doesn't like something, he will speak out loud immediately. However, most of Fang Yi's choices are to ignore you if he doesn't agree with you.
But take a look, one is scolding you like crazy, and the other is not wanting to look at you. How big is the difference between these two behaviors?
Although Fang Yi's understanding of himself is superficial, it does not deviate from the center. In his heart, Fang Yi does not think that he is the kind of person who raises his arms or shakes his bastard energy, and his whole body is filled with great light.
He is a hero who bows his head and worships. When I ran back to the country like this, I suddenly said that all the things in the past were no longer good. Many things advocated by the previous masters were too one-sided, and this is how we should paint now!
Look at what the domestic reaction will be at that time. The styles and education of many domestic artists have been based on this for most of their lives. If Fang Yi changes it like this, doesn't it mean that many people's jobs will be ruined at once? At this time
Don't say you are a tortoise, even if you are a tortoise when eating, others will not care about you anymore!
If you don't have this skill, you can't take on this porcelain job. Now Fang Yi's best option is to live a peaceful life in the United States. As for the reform of the domestic art circle, he still needs to keep his head clear.
If you are strong enough, do it and enjoy yourself in peace.
In other words, Fang Yi is willing to exert some influence, but when it comes to charging into battle, Fang Yi himself will definitely not do it! As for being famous in the painting world, the master in Fang Yi's head has now proven that he can be famous for generations.
, what else is Liufang? The two Liufang added together are not Liufang?
Fang Yi was talking with the model while drawing. It was not until noon that the nearly four hours of morning homework was officially completed.
After seeing the model off, Fang Yi wanted to walk towards Artur's house. It was noon and it was almost time to eat. Of course, he had to go to pay homage to his five internal organs temple first.
"What should I eat for lunch today?" Fang Yi asked the chef as soon as he entered the room.
"I'll have steak and lamb chops, and some fruit salad..." the chef said to Fang Yi.
Coming a little early, Fang Yi can choose what he likes. If after this time, he will have to eat what the chef cooks: "I want a lamb chop, cooked more cooked." Fang Yi immediately started to order.
.
After ordering the meal, Fang Yi wandered around Artur's small living room, looking at the practice works that the friends had drawn. During the time he came back, Fang Yi was not the only one who was slow in drawing.
The four of them, Keshima and Rude, all slowed down together. Fang Yi was speculating on classicism, while Keshima and the others were thinking about incorporating some Chinese artistic ideas into their works.
.
Looking at this experimental work on Artur's easel, Fang Yi can feel a little bit of the Chinese landscape on the canvas. Although it is not too strong now, it still has a bit of it. At least the small artistic conception is there.
Fang Yi seems to have a bit of a Chinese flavor.
Originally, everyone was busy starting their own creations as soon as they came back. Now the friends are busy digesting the gains from the previous stage of artistic exchange. Now the communication between the five of us has been reduced a lot. In addition, the previous daily work on time
Dinner exchange meetings have also become two or three a week.
Everyone was thinking about their own things. Moreover, these things began to show a bit of mismatch. Fang Yi was tinkering with classicism, while Keshma was concerned about the Chinese gongbi painting style. Anders and
Artur preferred landscape painting, especially the technique of splash-ink landscape painting, while Rude cared about his models and his own fun as always.
Now that everyone is together, it's like talking to each other. Everyone except Fang Yi feels that they have found a breakthrough at this stage. It's just that everyone is in the experimental stage. Fang Yi doesn't care much about his friends' affairs.
If my mind is full of classicism, I have too much time to spend on my friends’ new ideas.
While waiting for dinner, everyone chatted about what they had done in the morning and so on. They chatted casually while eating.
"Yi, do you have anything to do this afternoon?" Rude looked at Fang Yi and said.
"It's nothing serious. How can I help you?" Fang Yi asked Rude casually while holding the long bones of the lamb chops and chewing on the meat.
After hearing this, Rude raised the glass of wine in his hand to Fang Yi: "Then you drive me to Paris in the afternoon, and I will go on vacation for a few days, a week!".
Not only Fang Yi, but also Keshma and Artur put down the food in their hands. They all looked at Rude and said, "Why is it so sudden?". When we were eating in the restaurant last night, we didn't hear anything from this old boy about going there.
I heard about the vacation at noon today. Should I leave in the afternoon? This is too drastic.
"What girl is there?" Fang Yi asked casually.
Rude smiled after hearing this and spread his hands: "That's right!".
Fang Yi originally asked casually, but Rude admitted it. Before Fang Yi could answer, Artur asked: "Are you dating online?"
The word "online dating" is not only for Fang Yi, but also for the other two people. Of course, except Anders, the other five people don't look like online dating. People who don't even know much about the Internet still fall in love.
What kind of energy!
"Not really, it's someone I met before. We talked about how we were going to go to Greece for a few days together." Rude explained to the three friends and said, "She told me in the morning that she was in Greece. Let me
Go by in the afternoon."
Fang Yi thought for a moment and nodded: "I'll take you there in the afternoon." Fang Yi thought that his friend Rude was also fashionable for a date at such a long distance. As for dating any woman, Fang Yi was not interested. He said he had known her before.
Maybe it's a little model or something. Fang Yi doesn't want to ask, not only Fang Yikshma and Artur are not interested in asking about this thing.
After finishing the meal, Fang Yi drove his car towards the airport, taking Rude with a small bag, and delivered them to the entrance of the airport. Fang Yi watched Rude get out of the car, and no one had even entered the airport hall.
As for the door, he turned around and walked back along the way back. Rude, who was carrying a small bag, didn't need Fang Yi to get out of the car to help him see him off.
As the car drove on the road, Fang Yi received a call from Zou Heming from the United States. He said a few words and went straight to the topic: "How is the completion of the work?".
"It will be fine in about ten days," Fang Yi said.
After hearing this, Zou Heming felt slightly relieved, then hung up the phone after chatting for a few words, and started calling the four people in Keshima.
Now Zou Heming has to call to check on the progress of the five people's work after almost a week. In the past, he was only worried about Fang Yi, but now after a trip to China, the speed of the four Kesima has also slowed down, which makes Zou Heming a little worried.
Worrying, having few works can certainly drive up the price of paintings, but having too few works is not a problem.
As a gallery whose main income comes from Fang Yi’s five linearist cash cows, it hopes that the artists’ works it signs will not be too many, but not too few either. A few paintings a year must be guaranteed to the gallery, and now these five obvious ones are
On the small road, instead of giving a few paintings to the gallery a year, we are preparing to paint a few paintings a year. This situation is certainly not what the boss Zou Heming wants to see.
It's okay to play Fang Yi like this, because Fang Yi's works can maintain the standard, but it is a bit of a problem for Keshma and the others. What if they don't perform well for a period of time, or have no desire to create? This is
