Soul Painter

He is a reporter for the social edition of Liaoshen Evening News in Liao Province.

I originally came to Daku Temple to investigate the saber-toothed tiger incident. Since the saber-toothed tiger always circles the Daku Temple, there must be something attractive to it in the Daku Temple, but I didn’t expect to ask about an anecdote. Unfortunately, this kind of A story too legendary to make it to the newspapers.

Just to satisfy the reporter's own curiosity.

Out of this curiosity, the reporter checked the life of the so-called painter.

After checking it, he was surprised.

Gao Fan.

The bunch of titles on the Internet encyclopedia.

The world famous young oil painter.

Founder of Demon Painting School.

The current auction price holder for oil paintings.

...

These appellations reminded him that it was not the first time he had heard this name. Although he belonged to the art circle, the name Gao Fan had repeatedly broken the circle.

The last two times, such as Christie's auction of the world's most valuable painter, and returning to China to become a monk some time ago, these are all things this year. Although the reporter is a social edition, he has been brainwashed by these information.

A 25-year-old oil painter worth more than one billion dollars, a monk, the most expensive in the world, and one of the most outstanding in hundreds of years of modern art history.

What is he drawing?

Can the residents of the Great Ku Temple think that the saber-toothed tiger was recruited by him?

The reporter became curious about the Hall of Thousand Buddhas in Daku Temple.

The same curiosity didn't just appear on him.

In fact, during this period of time, more than one reporter tried to get into the Thousand Buddha Hall to take some high-definition large pictures to see what the youngest and most expensive oil painting master in the world was doing in the hall. Come out with one or two valuable big news.

For example, this reporter came from a social journalism background, and he was only considered a "monk half way". There were also a few art media reporters who were one step ahead of him, and poked holes in the not-so-strict security system of Daku Temple. .

But this reporter was the luckiest one. When he touched the Thousand Buddha Hall from the construction site, it was the lunch time for everyone in the temple. Eating noodles together. Recently, painting is too exhausting. The artist gave up the practice of painting on an empty stomach. It is easy to pass out and waste time.

Next to it, God also got a small bowl. Although he ate vegetarian food recently, the black cat’s physique has become stronger and stronger. It seems that the ferocity of the saber-toothed tiger has stimulated its growth genes, making it feel the urgency of growth. .

Now, the half-closed door of the Thousand Buddha Hall is an undefended line of defense in front of this reporter.

The reporter pushed the door open without hesitation.

The noon sun was blazing, and suddenly stepped into the hall from outside the hall, making the reporter's vision dim.

And then, according to the physiological structure of the human body, his pupils will automatically adjust to adapt to the darker environment. This adjustment will gradually progress from dim to bright, but at this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in the reporter's eyes. soft light.

The light came from the front left, because the sun was shining obliquely, so it should be reflected light on the wall over there, but it seemed to have a large space, and even had a sense of infinity... This is very strange, because Thousand Buddhas The hall is not big, more than 2,000 square meters, which is not small, but it can be reached by walking a hundred steps from east to west, north to south, so it is not considered big.

Therefore, at this moment, this infinite perception is very wonderful. Waiting for the vision to become clearer, the reporter suddenly felt the green shade in front of him. It seemed that there was a tree standing in front of him. in front of him.

At the same time, the breeze caressed slightly, and the Zen sound was fragrant.

The reporter saw that there was green grass under this tall and tall tree, and a luxuriously dressed prince was sitting on the lawn. The reason why he was judged to be a prince was because he sat cross-legged in splendid clothes, holding a scepter and a crown. Under the tree, he was looking at him with sincerity in his eyes and compassion on his face.

He is obviously a prince, but he has one hand clasped in front of his chest, and the other holds a golden scepter, but the scepter is pointed slightly lowered, which seems to imply that he has given up worldly power, but has obtained more precious religious power.

The reporter was shocked by this scene, because he heard the wind blowing and the grass swaying at the same time. The smile of the prince in front of him seemed to be full of enlightened Zen sounds, and beside him, there were several people kneeling down in different shapes. Believers, there are ordinary farmers, there are gorgeously dressed nobles...

They kneeled so reverently, bowing their heads low on the grass, so that the reporter felt that it was disrespectful to stand so abruptly, and when he hesitated to kneel or not, he said, "This is a picture!" ’ Thoughts rushed to my mind.

This idea made him take a step back in surprise, and he was stripped from the scene. Only then did he see clearly that after he entered the Thousand Buddha Hall, he walked to the nearest wall. The trees, princes, and kneeling people he saw The crowd is just a painting on the wall.

But this painting... this painting...

The reporter stared blankly at the wall in front of him, then turned around abruptly, looking at all the walls in the entire Thousand Buddha Hall.

Half of the walls have already been painted.

The other half of the walls are just simple lines, which are somewhat unclear in the dark hall.

But only half of the painted murals, the depiction in the paintings, makes this half of the hall appear extremely wide, with a sense of infinity. Just now when the reporter entered the hall, the sun shone, and one of the murals was highlighted. Under the bodhi tree, the scene of the prince becoming a Buddha.

Sunshine and murals constituted a vivid fantasy scene, which made the reporter almost kneel.

Although the reporter was in the social news section, he knew nothing about painting art, at most he knew the names of a few famous painters, and knew that their paintings could sell for tens of millions of dollars, but at this moment, he was really shocked.

"...I almost wanted to become a monk." The reporter murmured.

With a heart of wonder, he began to browse in front of the painted murals on the half side. He saw different scenes, large and small. If he had seen the "Genesis" in the Sistine Chapel, he would have found this It is a different way of expression. "Genesis" is a typical oil painting scene layout, and each scene is clearly separated.

The murals of the Hall of Thousand Buddhas displayed in front of the reporters are one-piece long-scroll layout in the style of "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival". The structure allows scenes to be hidden in the long scroll, and the scenes are assembled into a long scroll.

The feeling it brings to the viewer is...infinity.

The close-up is larger, the same height as a person, and the whirling bodhi tree is also in true proportions - the reporter remembered the name of this tree, checked it by the way, and found that even the leaves are exactly the same as the real one.

In the description of the environment, especially the expression of landscape and landforms, the colors of the green mountains and black waters are taken from traditional Chinese paintings, and the perspective combined with far and near is taken from oil paintings. The combination of the two produces a wonderful, even miraculous chemical reaction.

The close-up is very real, as if the characters in the scene are right in front of you.

The distance is not illusory, and it seems to be gradually moving away in the perspective of the past.

This contrast between distance and distance makes people feel as if they are watching a 3D movie, creating a sense of immersion.

The distance emphasizes the contrast, and each scene is not too far away, which is enough to see the painter's terrible talent and skill in structure. Following the story line, the scene is far or near, the reporter walked forward hundreds of steps, and did not distinguish between true and false several times , almost stepped into the painting.

This painting is just scary...

"Does it look good?" Suddenly a voice rang in the reporter's ear.

ah! The reporter was almost frightened to death. He remembered that he had broken in illegally, so he turned around and ran, and ended up slamming his head into the wall.
