Chapter 35: Everyone's Weather

Gao Bo is a renowned curator, art critic and collector.

In the industry, he is very famous. Whether it is an artist or a rich and powerful person, they all like to make friends with it.

Because everyone knows that he has his own unique understanding of art, and he is very keen to grasp the market trend, and he dares to tell the truth, and his comments are sharp and in place.

So whether it is in the industry or ordinary art lovers, they are very convinced of him. So much so that his comments can directly affect the transaction price of the artwork.

Many artists, when holding exhibitions of their works, if they have confidence in themselves, like to invite Gao Bo to participate in the appreciation and review. If you don't have confidence, you basically avoid Gao Bo and stay away from his sight, lest he ruin his future with a word.

"It's amazing. ”

Under Cao Xiang's explanation, Bai Ye knew Gao Bo's origin, and at the same time it was also very strange: "It's just ...... Does this have anything to do with me? Couldn't I have known him before?"

"Don't you know?"

Cao Xiang frowned and said, "Then why does he comment and speak for you." ”

"What?"

Shiraba was surprised, "What comment?"

"See for yourself. ”

Cao Xiang handed over the phone.

On the screen, a long comment is staggered, and the layout is exquisite, which makes people feel comfortable.

The key is the title of the article, which also makes Bai Ye stunned.

"A Brief Comment on White Leaves - He Transforms Paintings into Reliefs!"

At the beginning of the comment, he was even more straight to the point, saying very directly that he was very unfamiliar with Bai Ye, and it was also by chance that he saw the turmoil on the Internet, and he paid attention to it out of curiosity.

"While paying attention, some people also asked me what I thought of Bai Ye. ”

My answer is...... No view. ”

"I'm an art critic and I only focus on the artistic side of things. The artist's personal morality, character, and temperament are naturally constrained by society and the law, and have nothing to do with me. ”

"Naturally, the man asked me what I thought of Shiraba's work. ”

Even though I knew that he wanted to get some biased answers in my mouth. But whether it's out of professionalism or my own aesthetic standards, I can only let him down. ”

"In order to comment on a person's work, we must first understand the person's life. According to the results of my inquiry, Bai Ye was a painter first, an abstract painter. ”

"In my opinion, abstract painting is the easiest to draw and the most difficult to paint. It can be detached from all concrete images, get rid of the established laws of form, and scribble freely. However, because of its freedom and unrestrainedness, it is difficult for ordinary people to define, and the quality of abstract painting cannot be judged, let alone the artistic value of it. ”

In this case, some people took the opportunity to infiltrate the art industry, and through a series of means, packaged themselves as famous masters, and then caused many controversies, and finally the deeds were revealed, which not only left a lot of chicken feathers, but also made the public's misunderstanding of abstract art deeper. ”

"Yes, I'm going to say it...... It's certainly not white leaves. ”

"I haven't seen the abstract oil paintings of Shiraba with my own eyes, I only searched for some photos on the Internet, and I can't go into depth and make accurate comments. After all, the author's brushstrokes cannot be seen in the photo, and the colors will be distorted. Abstract oil painting, especially abstract expressionist oil painting, is precisely to express its own emotional value orientation through brushstrokes and colors. ”

"I didn't get to see the painting, but I can draw conclusions from the photographs. The abstract oil paintings of white leaves are not useless as some comments on the Internet say. ”

In fact, without mentioning brushstrokes and colors, but only the overall effect, his paintings have a passionate tension. It's just that because his technique is not mature enough and still looks very immature, the tension has not been transformed into explosive impact. ”

"Still, I saw spirituality in his paintings. ”

"As long as he studies carefully, his techniques reach the point of wanton swaying, and then expresses 100% of the turmoil and excitement in his heart, then he will definitely be the backbone of the painter. ”

"In the next stage, everything will return to the basics, and it will be a famous master. ”

……

Seeing this, Bai Ye raised his head and asked, "Cao Xiang, do you think he will be my relative?"

The evaluation was too high, and he was shocked.

"I doubt ...... too"

Cao Xiang signaled: "Keep watching, the evaluation in the back is higher." ”

"Tsk. ”

Bai Ye muttered: "If I don't know, I'm a poor bastard now, I must wonder if he took my money and worked so hard to help me wash the floor." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Gao Bo is in the industry, but he is notoriously high and not moved by money. And to be honest, if he could be bought, he wouldn't be as famous as he is now. ”

Cao Xiang shook his head and said softly: "Over the years, because he has said a lot of truths, I don't know how many people I have offended. Many people hate him to the core, and if they have the chance, they will certainly not mind ruining him. But so far, no one has succeeded. ”

"Understood. ”

Shiraba continued to look.

“…… Due to the Dongxing Gallery incident, Bai Ye actually destroyed all his paintings. For this matter, I am not a party after all, so I can't judge whether he made an irrational move when he was out of control of his emotions, or decided to make a break with the past through calm thinking!"

The former is human nature, and impulsiveness is understandable. ”

As for the latter, this is a conjecture that popped up when I was writing my review. ”

"As we all know, after Bai Ye destroyed the painting, he disappeared from the human eye and was silent for more than half a year. What brought him into the public eye again was a set of sketches. ”

"It was when I was looking up the information of the white leaves that I saw the sketch group. To be honest, the moment I saw the group, I was amazed. ”

"If it weren't for the video footage, I wouldn't have believed that the painting team was actually from the hands of Bai Ye. His progress is so great, compared to more than half a year ago, it is simply a world of difference. ”

Some people may think that I am exaggerating to describe it this way. That's because you don't understand what kind of trade-offs the cow made in the process of transformation, and what kind of thinking Bai Ye has...... Variation. ”

"No, it's not a change, it's a metamorphosis, a sublimation. ”

"I don't know what he's been through during this time. I only know that his understanding of abstraction has crossed from the simplest appearance to the essence at once. This is the essence that many abstract painters cannot reach in their lifetime, and they will not be able to open their minds and touch - the road to simplicity. ”

"The truth of simplicity can be claimed to be clear to anyone. Ordinary people say they understand, and no one really asks you how you understand. But for artists, there are stricter requirements. If you say that you understand, then you have to express it in the form of a work and convey it to everyone. ”

"If you look at the abstract school as a whole, there are very few people who can do this. ”

"I was amazed that Bai Ye had done it. ”

But what shocked me even more was that Bai Ye, who already had his own unique views on abstract art, did not continue to work in the painting world, but turned to the arms of sculpture. ”

"Even if he applied for art school, the first major he chose was sculpture, and I couldn't let go. ”

"I wanted to point at his nose and scold, young man, your painting has already seen the beginning, why waste your talent?

In addition to the indignation, I came back to my senses in a trance and suddenly came to my senses. ”

"What was my original purpose for investigating Shiraba?"

“…… Sculpture. ”

"Sculptures that are boiling in the industry and stirring up the four directions. ”
