Soul Painter

This work was later named "Ring Arena".

The full name should be "The Strongest Surface: Ring".

The "Gaovan Personal Modern Art Oil Painting Exhibition" in the Metropolitan Museum was also renamed as "Gauvan Anna Armas Demonic Art Oil Painting Exhibition" - this is the negligence of Lawrence and Gaofan, although AA himself does not care about this Everything, but AA should be given the credit it deserves.

In addition to the "Ring Arena" in the exhibition area, there are two works just now, so in order to enrich the content, Lawrence also put the video of Gao Fan and Anna painting on it. The video length is 24 hours. These are the two works. The entire time the artist spent creating the work "Ring Arena".

Compared with an oil painting, this time is not long. After all, there is a precedent of Van Gogh, a talented painter who lived in a mental hospital. Van Gogh in a mental hospital was very productive, and he painted a painting every day or even half a day. Compared with it, Gao Fan and Anna spent 24 hours creating a piece of work, which is not considered fast.

But the way they do it is interesting.

After the video was released, it caused a lot of repercussions.

In the video, it can be seen that Gao Fan and Anna created "Ring Arena" at the same time. They each depicted a character, but it was not messy.

In the base stage, the two have shown a wonderful synergy, and the coloring stage is even more interesting. The blending of various colors is like a dance of the soul full of tacit understanding.

This makes the viewer believe that there must have been another grounding, and it is not the first time on the canvas, otherwise the two would not be able to achieve such coordination.

Lawrence agreed to have another draft, but when the draft came out, it aroused the suspicion of the critics because it did not correspond to the lines of the sketch that fell on the panel.

Later, when Gao Fan and Anna used paint to smear the figures of the two boxers on the drawing board, they wrote very quickly, and large areas of color were used wantonly as if they had already been used.

Black and red are intertwined, and the struggle between the two boxers is also like the confrontation between two painters. In the end, it shows that the black side is as thick as a rock and the red side is as aggressive as water.

The two boxers in the picture each show a profile.

Tyson on the black side is on the left, his right hand is protecting his cheek, and his left fist hits hard, the strength seems to break the gap between colors.

The young boxing champion lowered his head slightly, his torso tightened, and every muscle was exploding. He didn't look at his opponent, but looked down at Shen Yi, as if he was sure that his punch would hit.

On the other hand, Ali on the red side is stretched. His footsteps are very flexible. In order to avoid it, his body is slightly tilted up. It is impossible to judge whether Tyson's heavy punch can hit him, but it is already close at hand.

The old boxing champion had a smile on his lips. He was relaxed and full of aggression, as if he had played with his opponents with butterfly steps countless times before in the boxing ring. His right uppercut was like a long whip. Right fist hitting Tyson's face shield.

When giving the viewer a feeling, the whole painting is in motion.

Was it Tyson who broke through the distance defense first and hit Ali first, or Ali who broke through the barrier of strength and hit Tyson.

In terms of posture, the two boxing champions maintain a fragile balance. If Ali is hit by Tyson's heavy punch, with Tyson's strength, he may be KO, and Ali's attack angle is very tricky. Superman Punch', which would also disable Tyson's ability to continue fighting.

Therefore, this painting is not only in motion, but also moves to a critical moment, and stops abruptly at this moment.

But when the viewer is fully immersed in the scene described in the oil painting, his brain thinking will involuntarily describe the next scene.

Or Tyson loses.

Or Ali loses.

They all saw the ending they wanted to see in the painting.

Even, when they substituted into it, they could feel the fist of a certain boxing champion blowing towards their faces, like a gust of wind blowing past their cheeks or ears.

This is amazing.

But no doubt about it.

This is another outstanding, even legendary work.

Especially for boxing lovers, it is simply an audio-visual enjoyment. Tyson and Ali are two generations of the most famous boxing champions. Countless fans want to see them fight in the ring, and today they finally got their wish.

The people of the beautiful country love boxing very much. The headquarters of these organizations such as WBC (World Boxing Council), WBO (World Boxing Organization), IBF (International Boxing Federation), WPBF (World Professional Boxing Federation) are in the beautiful country, or the equivalent In the beautiful country.

Although the salaries of boxers are lower than those of NBA, NBL football, baseball and golf, they are still among the top 5 after all. However, statistics show that the economic value and social impact of legendary champions such as Tyson and Ali are not Inferior to the top basketball superstars.

In 1996, Ali even lit the torch of the Atlanta Summer Olympics in the beautiful country as a representative of the beautiful country athletes.

Therefore, Lawrence was not optimistic about Gao Fan's oil paintings of realistic genres and characters at the beginning, but the moment he saw the finished product, he realized that Gao Fan might have created another "legend", because the two legendary boxing champions Under his brush, a space-time showdown was completed.

When the painting was hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it caused quite a stir.

Soon, because of the news and word-of-mouth popularity, Gao Fan and Anna's Devil School painting exhibition, located in a relatively remote location, ushered in a wave of visits, and people came here every day.

Visitors may not be proficient in art, but their love for boxing makes them very eager to see the confrontation between two legendary boxing champions, and what they see will never disappoint them.

Gao Fan's oil paintings are not always in a realistic style, but this exhibition of Demon Painting School's "The Strongest Surface" is indeed quite different from the previous "Mask" group paintings and "Bostonians", with a classic style, so the two The figure of the boxing champion on the ring can also be easily identified, and has a strong sense of substitution.

"It's amazing. It's like a 3D painting that transcends time and space. You can see different endings from different angles. I don't know painting, but I know boxing. I can guarantee that the boxing moves drawn by the artist are the two The boxing champion's habitual movements and fighting posture are wonderful~"

A boxing fan who came to visit said.

The exhibition of the second "Ring Arena" ushered in a small peak of the flow of people in the exhibition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the number of visitors broke through three digits at the peak.

...

And Gao Fan who completed the painting.

When he gave the painting to Lawrence, and Lawrence took it to New York, he took Anna for a walk in Phoenix.

This is a city built on both sides of a dry river valley, which looks dry and hot.

Both Gao Fan and Anna could see that behind them, there was a young man wearing a black boxer hoodie, with his hands in his pockets, following them leisurely.

Except for the two painters, no one can see the existence of Boxer.
