Soul Painter

Overinterpretation by critics.

It always surprises the artist himself.

The art world is very fond of Gao Fan at present, because Gao Fan's social value has risen, so that all creators of modern art, not only paintings, but also sculptures, have also ushered in a wave of market trends. Some of them, although not the first A master of Lipai, but he can be regarded as a master, even if there is no painting worth hundreds of millions of dollars, is ten to twenty million dollars a little low?

The collectors have a love-hate relationship with Gao Fan. Love him, let the painting art out of the circle, and make a lot of hot money in the circle, hate him, it will pull up the market as a whole, and they have to pay more to acquire artists. their paintings.

Of course, there are still some critical views from the art world, who believe that Gao Fan's current inclination towards classicism is a manifestation of the degeneration of the painter's creativity, but at present, the voice of this view is not large, but it is very tenacious.

So far, Gao Fan and Anna's "The Strongest Surface" painting exhibition has been on display for more than a month. With the exhibition of the third "Veteran", Gao Fan thought that this subject would receive criticism. After all, the content of the painting is a revelation. The dark side of war.

But what he didn't expect was that people in the beautiful country love reflection, and under the background of political correctness, no one dares to say that "reflection on war" is wrong. At the beginning, Gao Fan was labeled as a 'kitsch', saying that Gao Fan was deliberately catering to the public's psychology to please and entertain the public, without the artist's firmness, exploration and persistence.

"It's hard for me to believe that this is a work by Gao. He used to go so deeply into the forbidden zone of the human mind, but now he uses blood and anti-war to please the public, which is disappointing."

This kind of comment not only made Gao Fan unhappy, it was simply very unpleasant.

"Isn't this understanding too crooked?" Gao Fan frowned and looked at the art review articles that Lawrence sent home. A scene of siege? How obvious!"

"It's very obvious." Anna chimed in. The structure of the entire "Veteran" was dominated by her, and it was the first time that the infinite symmetry painting method was applied to the characters.

After careful calculation, Anna made a very clear statement. Outside of the ten besieged soldiers from the beautiful country, there was a company of eastern troops charging towards them.

According to the number and the topography of the scene, it can be analyzed that this is a siege representing the final outcome of that battlefield. From this war, the myth of the invincibility of the beautiful country was shattered, and another strongest army on the surface of the world rose gradually in the east of the world. .

Infinite details, careful calculations, precise expressions, and the skills of the two masters make this 'private goods' a semi-public display, but this is almost an 'express' 'hint', and no one has discovered it It took the two painters a little by surprise.

"Indeed, anyone who sees this painting can realize that the characters in the painting are surrounded and desperate, but everyone thinks that you are metaphorizing Hopkins' difficult situation at the moment. Creation would help Hopkins' situation," Lawrence said.

"Is it helpful to his situation?" Gao Fan was surprised. He didn't draw a good man, and of course he didn't slander the veteran. Hopkins did kill the local aboriginal captives during the war.

"Because it became an anti-war symbol," Lawrence said.

"...the weird brain circuit of people from the beautiful country." Gao Fan was convinced.

If this incident helps Hawkins win the lawsuit, it will undoubtedly add to the legend of the painter. The plot of using a painting to appeal for a criminal can be made into a movie. The audience in the beautiful country likes this tone. All such artistic creations and great thinking will ultimately serve the creative theme of human beings and freedom.

"I feel so unwilling..." Gao Fan sat on the swivel chair behind the bar counter in the living room on the first floor, spinning around in place, "I have to correct their wrong views."

"How to correct it?" Lawrence had a bad thought.

"Didn't the Metropolitan Museum invite me to give a lecture? I will give a lecture!" Gao Fan jumped off his chair and said with piercing eyes, "The theme is called a great people's war!"

Hmm... Lawrence swallowed the words of remonstrance that had reached his throat.

Being tough and lofty from the front will definitely not please you.

To hit a snake, you need to hit seven inches.

To deal with Gao Fan, we must start from his artist's cleanliness.

Lawrence had figured it out.

"That's no problem." Lawrence said, "Director Hollein of the Metropolitan Museum is keen to invite all outstanding artists to give lectures at him, and you have never publicly expressed your creative ideas on any occasion. Caused a sensation and crowds..."

Sure enough, when he heard the words 'sensation' and 'crowd', Gao Fan's expression was not so happy immediately. Gao Fan didn't like humans very much, but he couldn't help but like those fans who liked his works, so he could imagine himself The difficult scene of being surrounded by a crowd of admirers.

"Moreover, it is actually the trend of modern art for a painter to express his creative ideas through theory and language, rather than through works. After all, the transmission of works is prone to ambiguity. As the founder of the Devil School, you are also time In a public occasion, the definition of the Devil faction was given." Lawrence said again.

This is almost a killer feature.

Creators express their ideas through language and theory, instead of conveying spirit through works. This kind of behavior is disgusting to Gao Fan. It may be the sequelae caused by learning those art theory subjects when he was in school. Yes, Gao Fan’s theory The grades in the class are very poor, but I just don't like it, so I am poor.

Will the dragon slayer boy turn into a dragon?

Thinking that in the future there will be a special introduction to the Devil faction in the textbook, which contains certain remarks made by Gao Fan himself, Gao Fan feels so ashamed that goose bumps are about to pop out.

"Forget it." Gao Fan snorted. He knew that Lawrence didn't want him to disclose his political stance, so he said these words, but it did hit his weakness.

"Eldest brother, promise me one thing." Gao Fan said.

"Tell me." Lawrence said sternly, Gao Fan would only call him "big brother" when he was faced with something "must do", otherwise he would be "Mr. Broker" and so on.

"After I die, you must destroy all the text, pictures, and video records I left behind, leaving no paper behind, including the browser records in my computer and mobile phone." Gao Fan said very seriously.

"...No problem." Lawrence agreed, although he still didn't know what Gao Fan was thinking.

"Thank you very much." Gao Fan shook Lawrence's hand tightly, looking very moved.

Is it necessary? Lawrence clenched Gao Fan's hand backhand: "It should be done."

...

Put aside all kinds of comments from the outside world about your paintings.

Gao Fan began to attack the fourth coordinate point of "Book of Seven Sages".

In the Temple of Inspiration, he summons veteran Hopkins.

And first put Hopkins into the Weiyang Palace scene representing the existence of Wang Mang.

In the next second, a burst of flames and white smoke burst out of this scene that was floating in the inspiration of Gao Fan and had not yet been drawn into the hall of inspiration. It felt very strange, as if this scene took a puff of smoke with sparks.
