Chapter 265: Can't Get on the Table
Pop art has been very controversial since its inception.
Because Pop Art is defined by the ability to reproduce words, pictures, and music with unmistakable accuracy, leading to a large number of symbols and symbols that can be consumed.
For some artists, they stubbornly believe that the so-called work of art should be unique and cannot be reproduced.
A work of art, even if it is the artist himself, should be different from the previous creation when he creates the same subject matter.
Exactly the same thing, that's a reproduction, not much artistic value.
In the eyes of some artists, the so-called pop art is, at first glance, an unpopular 'artist', who has no strength to create, simply patchwork together, or is boring and spoofed, and then becomes a trend under the pursuit of the ignorant public.
Trendy, popular, is it good?
No, a flu is not necessarily a good thing.
Therefore, these artists feel that the so-called pop art is just a group of boring people, taking a bunch of boring things and coaxing the public.
However, stupid people, who can't see this clearly, are fooled.
It's just ...... Tarnishing of art.
There should be no such garbage in the temple of art.
At this moment, several sculptors were trembling all over, not knowing whether they were angry or using the topic to play, anyway, the scolding continued.
In stark contrast to them, there are tourists with bright smiles.
Groups of tourists, after approaching the balloon dog, touched the glittering thing, and couldn't help but show a happy and happy look. This kind of joy from the heart cannot be feigned in any way.
It is also possible to know the acceptance of balloon dogs by tourists.
For tourists, it doesn't matter what art they are or not, when they see something, the first impression is very important.
It's the impression that determines whether you like it or dislike it.
What is Impression?
This is complicated and difficult to summarize in detail.
But appearance is definitely very important. Unless the aesthetics are strange, more curious, and people with heavy tastes. Otherwise, everyone's understanding of beauty is basically the same.
There is no doubt that the balloon dog is certainly a beautiful thing in the eyes of the public.
Cute, cute, and likeable.
What's more, its size, which is unusually large, is even more surprising.
Because in their impression, the balloon dog should be a plaything that is twisted into a puppy with a long balloon on birthdays and celebrations.
But I didn't expect that someone would enlarge such a plaything countless times and then make a huge sculpture out of stainless steel.
The most important thing is that this large-scale sculpture itself is very light and unveiled, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.
In particular, the crystal clear coating is more like a mirror. Someone stood nearby, and their image was immediately clear.
Next to the coast, the sun shines down and the light is reflected. Colorful, brilliant rainbow shines, full of charm.
"Awesome!"
A critic exclaimed.
He has no prejudice against pop art. So after taking a closer look at the balloon dog, I immediately understood the reason for its popularity.
"What's so good?"
Another critic had a gloomy face and said angrily: "Is Bai Ye crazy, he can't get on the stage at all with such a work for an exhibition." ”
"What do you mean you can't get on the table?"
The others frowned and retorted, "I think it's good." Typical of pop art, perfect for participation in the Sculpture of the Coast exhibition. ”
This person also has a full understanding of the nature of the exhibition.
You must know that the Coastal Sculpture Exhibition is aimed at commercialization. The exhibition is grand and lively, and a lot of resources are invested, but it is not for any artistic development.
In the final analysis, it is to stimulate the tourism economy and improve the reputation of the city. To put it in layman's terms, it is to advertise the city to the whole world.
Essentially, it's about making money.
Pop art itself is a product of commercialization, and the two combine to complement each other. In the opinion of that critic, Bai Ye created the Balloon Dog purely because he was clear about the theme and knew the needs of the organizers.
As soon as it was exhibited, it was really popular and sought after by tourists.
From this point of view, Bai Ye didn't do anything wrong, it was nothing more than submitting an answer sheet that satisfied the examiner 100% on the premise of the proposition composition.
If nothing else, when the organizers see the balloon dog, they will definitely commend Shiraba.
In this regard, some critics are also well aware of this, so they are even more angry: "This is something with no connotation, it is purely not a plaything, and it is not art at all." In my opinion, this is just a joke, circumventing the real complexity and multi-layered ...... of artwork."
"yes, I can't understand the value anyway. ”
Someone immediately chimed in: "This work is beyond my imagination, very low, I feel that Bai Ye lacks reverence for the industry he is engaged in." In other words, his participation in this sculpture exhibition has always been perfunctory. ”
"It used to be, so let his assistant go out. It is also now, there is such a work. What kind of artist is he with such a mentality?"
The man beat his chest and said, "Before I lost it, I thought he was a star of hope in the sculpture world and had a great future. I didn't expect him to fall so quickly. ”
"The so-called all-rounders are all faulty. ”
Someone spurned and said: "His energy is distracted, he is painting, purple clay pots, and what architectural design is he doing." Ordinary people learn one subject, which is enough to study for a lifetime. But he wants to take care of it all, so naturally he has to pay the price. ”
“…… Reasonable. ”
Some people nodded unconsciously, sighing and sighing.
In fact, aside from the artistic concept, they still have a good impression of Bai Ye. After all, several of Bai Ye's sculptures have left them enough room for comment, allowing them to analyze and deconstruct the works from different angles.
A sculpture can write more than a dozen articles, earning enough money to polish the pen.
But this balloon dog, what is there to write about, what kind of article can be written, and there is no room for them to play at a glance.
"Who says it's worthless?"
However, some critics retorted, and he looked down on these peers with a look of disdain. In his opinion, these peers have no ability, and it is not good to rely on others.
This is called throwing the pot and incompetence.
He sneered: "This work has a unique shape, the visual impact of the effect amplification of the texture substitution is very strong, the color is gorgeous, the ideas are childlike, and there are obviously many advantages, how come it has reached your mouth, but it is useless?"
"That's right. ”
Another critic with the same view said: "This is a commercial activity, and you are asking for Bai Ye with the logic of an artist's thinking, isn't it a bit nitpicky?"
"Besides, the balloon dog is amazing in terms of both vision and volume, and it also has high technical requirements......"
