"Hello, let's start now, okay?" Lin Haven will talk about editing, and Miss Xiaoling will introduce the conference room. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tan editor is not particularly accustomed to this kind of straightforward approach, but he also likes it, it doesn't waste time, and it is very efficient.

"Okay, then we're going to get started. The editor put a voice recorder on the table.

"As far as this newspaper knows, Art Review, a very authoritative art magazine in France and even in the world, has made some comments on your work that was previously collected by the Seville Art Museum. Chinese-language media such as World Journal, Oriental Art, and Asian Art, as well as magazines for Asian Americans, have also reported on this news. We would like to ask Mr. Lin, when did you know about it yourself, and what do you think?"

"I think it's a bit of an overstatement to call me 'the future of Chinese oil painting'. Of course, I very much hope that I can make more voices belonging to Chinese people in the current international mainstream oil painting market. Especially the voice of the young Chinese oil painters. ”

"......?" the editor was stunned for a moment, glanced down at the interview outline, scanned it three times, and didn't see "the future of Huaguo oil painting".

Even the few Western media outlets he mentioned did not use this term.

"Uh, Mr. Lin, hehe, what publication did you learn about this 'Future of Huaguo Oil Painting'?"

"Publications?" Lin Haven frowned, "There are no publications, so far, I have only seen the comments of "Art Review", and the rest is still from what you just said. But I think they must have thought so, so I think this evaluation is rather exaggerated. ”

What do you think?

Do you think that others regard you as the "future of Huaguo oil painting"?

The editor rolled his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and decided to continue asking questions.

"Then, you also mentioned Huaguo oil painting, we all know, it is a pity that the current Huaguo oil painting is not particularly valued abroad, except for your teacher, Mr. Chang Shuo and a few other oil painting masters, others are generally not recognized by Western collectors and the market. And there are some cases of self-hype through foreign auctions, what do you think about this situation, and do you think this situation will improve?"

Lin Haven took a sip of tea, "You drink water, don't be restrained." ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

The editor took a sip, it was tea, and Xiaoling also took a sip, which was also tea.

"I feel that the burden of promoting the reputation of our Chinese oil paintings and integrating them into the so-called mainstream Western market is of course a great burden and weight for me. Of course, it is also a motivation and a spur for me to constantly improve my painting skills, and at the same time, I strive to learn from the birthplace of oil painting and many previous masters. Of course, you also said that my teacher, Mr. Chang Shuo, also has a high reputation abroad and is well recognized by the market, which can be said to be a banner of Chinese oil painting artists in the international market, and I will work hard to inherit this banner and strive to make it fly higher and more beautiful. Live up to everyone's expectations. ”

"When did you put this burden on you?" After drinking tea, Xiao Ling, who was still holding the cup, was a little sluggish on her face.

Lin Haven blinked, "I think you must think so, including many of us in the oil painting industry, not in the oil painting industry, they must all think so." I am also willing to give back to their expectations and wishes, and I will work tirelessly to achieve them. ”

Do you want to do it again?

The editor feels that he has grasped the context of today's interview.

"Ahem, then Mr. Lin, as one of the very few young Chinese oil painters who have received the attention of mainstream Western art magazines, can you talk about how you have such superb painting skills and such a rich art accumulation in a short period of time?"

The Tan editor accented the words "superb" and "rich", and Lin Haven glanced at him appreciatively.

"I'm sure many of me understand that to paint to the point where I am today, it takes a lot of sweat and hard work, and that's definitely essential. We have heard a lot of stories since we were children, countless scientists, countless successful people, all of them sleep very little, are very focused, and spend a lot of energy and time on their careers to seek breakthroughs and progress. I've also learned from them: I paint almost every day, and I've done almost ten works so far. ”

Ten "diligent" talk about editing Sparta.

But diligence is not the only element, or even the most important factor. We all know that Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Van Gogh, and Ingres, they all have gifts and talents that are hard for ordinary people to match, and that's what determines them to be masters, not just good painters, so—"

"Huh?"

Lin Haven smiled: "I can't say it too directly, can I?"

"You mean, you're a genius like Leonardo da Vinci?"

“...... When it comes to editing, your little girl is quite direct. ”

The Tan editor felt that Lin Haven was more direct, he glared at Xiao Ling and told her to shut up first: "Of course, diligence and genius are the two elements that determine achievement, and you think talent is more important, right?"

"Or that talent is everything, in the field of oil painting. ”

The editor of the "......" conversation took a breath and looked at the recorder, if only that thing could be rewinded. He will take what Lin Haven just said, so many words about diligence, turn them out, wash them out and re-record them.

"Okay, so there was actually some argument before, do you have a response, or do you have anything to say to people who don't understand you?"

"You know, there's always some hard-working oil painter who wants to show everybody that this is not a field where young genius is emerging. His subtext is actually that only old guys like us can achieve success, you young people, stay up slowly. However, it is not excluded that there are some people who do not have the ability to appreciate themselves, and there will be a few in each field...... It's inevitable.

Therefore, since I have received the honor of 'the future of Chinese oil painting', I think it is necessary to tell the audience, the collectors, and the market that you should appreciate good painters and collect good works, instead of listening to some inferior words, which will not be beneficial to Huaguo's oil paintings." ”

After the interview, Lin Haiwen very enthusiastically sent them to the door of the conference room, and then went back to his studio.

The next day, when the New Culture Newspaper came out on the streets, what was originally a conversational report turned into a self-statement by Lin Haven -- the editor decided to do this after listening to the recording three times. (To be continued.) )
