Chapter 371: The Venice Biennale is a sensation

readx;

The Venice Biennale is an art festival with a history of more than 100 years, which began on April 22, 1894, and is one of the most important artistic events in Europe. The www.biquge.info Venice Biennale is generally divided into two parts: the national pavilion and the theme pavilion, and the main exhibition is ultra-modern art, which is known as a carnival in the art world.

Li Mobai's style is somewhat incompatible with the style of the Venice Biennale, and the museum of traditional Chinese painting has really shocked the entire art circle, and for a while there are different opinions, and many people think that this is just a political reason and has nothing to do with art.

No matter what the outside world says, Li Mobai doesn't want to explain, in Li Mobai's view, art has no borders and no genres, and only brings endless visual enjoyment and ideological enlightenment to the audience is a good work of art, and there is really no good perception of popular installations and performance art.

Of course, Li Mobai does not object to these arts, and even admires some of the works very much, but most of the works are garbage in Li Mobai's opinion, which is the so-called artist's Yiyin-style self-entertainment, which has no sense of beauty and cannot enlighten the audience's mind.

The most disgusting thing for Li Mobai is that there are artists who use "Art" as the title to make love naked in public, which is disgusting enough to think, and it is actually called performance art, but this kind of similar ugliness is quite popular in the performance art circle, including some sanctimonious masters.

The most ridiculous thing is to write the English word fuck on his chest, stretch out his middle finger and point at what is also called art, and he is a sanctimonious master, who seems to be cheering for the people, and what he does in private is really despicable.

Li Mobai's pavilion is indeed very unusual at the Venice Biennale, so different that all the media are very curious, and the audience is even more curious, why a traditional painter is invited to exhibit in the form of a museum, but it is this curiosity that causes Li Mobai's crowds to be crowded in the museum.

This is the hottest topic, and some people even think that this is a performance art, why a traditional painter has broken into the territory of surreal art, and they have speculated about the purpose of the organizers.

Li Mobai's museum layout is full of Chinese style at first glance, but when you calm down, it is not like this, but incorporates a large number of Western cultural elements, and the combination of Chinese and Western elements is not a little abrupt, which is eye-catching, and everyone who has come to see it is shocked, how is this done? It's not that no one has tried, it's just that it's often nondescript, like nouveau riche.

But in Li Mobai's museum, there is no unpleasant feeling at all, but it is very harmonious, at this time, the reporters finally understand why the theme of Li Mobai's museum is called "bridge", it is indeed a thorough enough understanding of Chinese and Western cultures, so that it seems to be calm and easy.

When he saw Li Mobai's works, the reporter was just a reporter, after all, his artistic accomplishment was limited, and he was only amazed by the richness of Li Mobai's works, but he couldn't say a reason.

However, the artists who also came to watch it with curiosity were different, and when they saw the difference of Li Mobai at a glance, there was only one thought in their hearts: Li Mobai stood on the shoulders of giants, climbing to the pinnacle of art, and was only a stone's throw away from the most dazzling crown.

Americans play pop art because the United States has no history and no culture, and to put it mildly, it is uneducated, everything can be done as you like, and the emphasis is on the expression of personal freedom.

The French play three-dimensional abstraction, which is indeed the pinnacle of modern art, but compared with the Bada Shanren, Picasso has not yet started, and after reading the works of the Bada Da, you can understand what abstraction is, but because of historical reasons, the style of painting of the Bada has not formed a school, and because of cultural reasons, Chinese painting does not care about perspective.

The technique of perspective was first used by Leonardo da Vinci in "The Last Supper", and it is also one of the wealth left by Leonardo da Vinci to future generations, but in fact, Chinese painting earlier than Zong Bing of the Southern Dynasty and Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty put forward similar concepts, and Zhang Zeduan's masterpiece "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" uses the principle of perspective, but does not attach importance to this principle, nor does it summarize this experience.

Contemporary people play with installation and performance art, in fact, more than they can not surpass the height of their predecessors, if they want to be famous, they can only go off the beaten track and build a reputation through the media, but if they want to be famous in history, I am afraid they can only leave a name in the history of finance.

Li Mobai did not follow these unpopular styles, but devoted himself to the study of famous works, European oil paintings, ancient Egyptian murals, ancient Greek murals, African murals, Inca paintings are Li Mobai's learning objects, accumulated a rich heritage, thick and thin, the work "The Emperor's New Clothes" on display is the integration of various ethnic painting skills.

All the artists, critics, and reporters were amazed when they saw the works of "The Emperor's New Clothes", which was so beautiful that it was dazzling; It's shocking, heart-wrenching.

Irony, this is a wonderful irony, and the ending of the change is the finishing touch, although many people have thought about it, and whether it is Western history or Eastern history, it is exactly like this, but no one dares to express it, but Li Mobai just expressed it, pointing out that the emperor was naked and undressed.

There is no pickiness in the technique, whether it is the image of the character or the sense of the picture, it is first-class. But this is no longer important, what matters is the idea expressed in this group of paintings, you sing and I appear, but who is speaking for the people?

"My God, Li is a genius, this is the most beautiful painting exhibition I have ever seen, "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Leaving the Scratch" are the greatest works of this era." Lawrence, the famous art critic, has always been stingy with praise, but this time he used the words "the most beautiful" and "the greatest" in front of the reporter's camera, which surprised all the reporters present.

"Lee is a great thinker who tortures the hearts of all of us, debunks the true face of the political game, and shows us the ugliest side of human surnames. I hated him, I thought the world was beautiful, but Lee broke everything, and my heart hurt. A young white man told reporters.

"Lee's painting skills are in no way inferior to those of famous painters in history, and what is particularly remarkable is that he closely blends the cultures of various ethnic groups without a trace of abruptness and jerkiness, which is really amazing." The famous artist Fisher said to himself after seeing Li Mobai's works.

"Li Mobai has shown the world the creativity of the Chinese, and the Chinese Renaissance era is coming." A Chinese painter excitedly said to a Chinese reporter who came to interview.

"Bai Shao is not only a writer with a conscience, but also a master painter, I don't know what he can't do." So said a fan who came to visit.

The American art critic Summerer said disappreciatively, "The cliché self-righteousness has no innovative viewpoint at all, and the technique is also an undisciplined accumulation, just a one-sided pursuit of perfection, which does not give people a strong artistic appeal at all." ”

"If you want to become a master, you must have your own unique opinions, I don't see in Li's works the characteristics that a master should have, culture needs to maintain the surname of reading, not a bitch who is allowed to be ravaged by the lady, and art is not." An 'artist' known for his exhibitionist performance also wrote on his blog.

The three major news agencies, BBC, N, ABC, NBC, The New York Times, Every Mirror, The Times and other media have reported on the topic, and Li Mobai has become the talk of the street for a while. With the promotion of the media, the eyes of the world have focused on the Li Mobai Pavilion of the Venice Biennale, and almost every visitor to the Biennale has to visit Li Mobai's pavilion.

Although the domestic media are always accustomed to being surnamed and aware of it, this time they finally did not fall behind, but they did not expect that Li Mobai would once again cause a sensation in the world, and they have increased their coverage. If it is said that the previous times it caused a sensation in the world was because there were political or economic factors, but this time it is definitely the power of art, and if this group of "The Emperor's New Clothes" is satirical, it is by no means satirical to the Celestial Empire, but to satirize the political axes of the world.

Li Mobai's fans were even more happy, almost everyone was discussing in the forum, and there was laughter, just like the carnival of Europeans and Americans.

All the media hope to interview Li Mobai, but Li Mobai asked Shang Shandai to politely refuse the reporter's interview, Li Mobai is not that he doesn't know how to face reporters, but he is unwilling to cooperate with reporters to act, and Li Mobai doesn't want to be a media darling.

The art circle is also quite lively, almost all people who are involved with art are discussing, and there is only one topic, that is, the cultural integration caused by Li Mobai and the development direction of contemporary art.

The major famous galleries and art museums are also moved, with only one purpose, that is, to acquire Li Mobai's works, if Li Mobai really becomes a master in the future, then his own museum will add a bright spot, even in front of him, Li Mobai's works are also hot, if you can buy one of the three works of "Scratch", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Hundred Sons", it will be even more unexpected.

The discussion in the circle is also becoming more and more intense, from the initial private exchanges, to the later divided into two obvious camps, one after another in the media and the Internet verbal criticism, mutual attack, the argument is red-faced and thick-necked.

And the initiator Li Mobai has become an outsider, even if he updates his blog and scarf, he will never participate in this topic, because Li Mobai at this time is constantly creating new works at night.

Just when the exhibition was about to end a month away and the controversy reached its peak, Li Mobai once again launched a huge work at the Biennale, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention to himself again.
