On the day of the opening of the exhibition, Fang Yi and Qu Gu drove their cars to the Provincial Art Museum with their friends. In addition to Wei Jin, Tao Yong, and Wang Hongqi, there was also Yan Daqi, who rushed from the capital yesterday. Senior Brother Yan was sent by Mr. Xu Shize as a representative.

Liu Hongshuo, as a generation of domestic oil painting, although he has offended many people, but there are still some friends here, at such an old age, there are always a few stakes in the painting world.

Today is the first joint exhibition between Liu Hongshuo and his disciple Fang Yi, friends in Shicheng have arrived, and friends from other places who can't come will basically send a representative like Xu Shize, and this representative is generally his own disciple or child. As for the middle-aged painters in Shicheng, there is a chance that they will also come to the exhibition hall, even if the other party is not very cold, but Liu Hongshuo, one of the paintings of Shicheng Shuangliu, will come to appreciate it in person.

The two cars arrived at the venue, found a parking space, stopped, and got out of the car, Fang Yi took out the ID card from his pocket and hung it around his neck, took his brother and friends to the door, showed the ID he hung on his chest to the security guard, and walked inside.

The grandeur of the Provincial Art Museum is not comparable to the Municipal Art Museum, it is surrounded by an empty square, and the flower ponds that can be seen everywhere are lush and colorful! Countless plants and flowers make the art museum less majestic, but more beautiful and soft. The exterior of the four-storey building is entirely covered with gray and white marble, and the lines and reliefs of the building are clearly visible. The museum, which has only four floors, is nearly 25 meters high, which shows the height of each floor of the building. At the entrance, eight marble pillars with a diameter of about 1.5 meters extend to the cornice of the topmost floor, on which are written several strong and powerful relief characters of the Jiangnan Provincial Art Museum. Looking at the inscription, these big characters came from the calligrapher Mr. Qigong.

Fang Yi's master and apprentice only have a total of twenty or thirty works, of course, it is impossible to use such a large art museum. In such a big place, if you throw these paintings into it, maybe people will think that they are not works. It's a decoration on the wall of the art museum. The exhibition hall of the master and apprentice is in a medium-sized exhibition hall on the second floor.

It's not time to start yet, but as one of the exhibitors, Fang Yi must come early and greet the guests with his teacher!

As soon as the group entered the exhibition hall, Fang Yi saw Zheng Xiaopeng with a smile on his face at first glance, who was directing the staff to put some drinking mineral water there.

"Brother Zheng!" Fang Yi walked to Zheng Xiaopeng's side, said hello and asked, "Is the teacher here?" ”。

"It's coming! I'm chatting with Liu Yuchan and Zhang Chenglin, two old gentlemen," Zheng Xiaopeng smiled at Fang Yi, and then nodded to Qu Gu and Wei Jin behind him. Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin have both seen the three of them in Fang Yi's studio, and they are familiar with each other, so they don't need to be introduced by Fang Yi.

Fang Yi helped Zheng Xiaopeng and Yan Daqi to introduce: "Senior Brother Yan, this is the owner of the Jinpeng Gallery signed by my teacher. Zheng Xiaopeng, Mr. Zheng, Brother Zheng! This is my senior brother Yan Daqi."

Zheng Xiaopeng smiled and stretched out his hand to Yan Daqi and said, "I have heard of the name for a long time!" ”。

How could people who open galleries not know Yan Daqi, a young and middle-aged artist who is now in the limelight, and now that there are good things in the domestic art world, the reputation of North Yan and Nanlu has begun to spread, North Yan is Yan Daqi, and South Lu is Lu Qikun! The two are among the best young and middle-aged artists.

After a couple of conversations. Fang Yi said to Zheng Xiaopeng and Qu Gu: "Senior brother and I went over to say hello to the teacher, Teacher Liu, and Teacher Zhang!" Let's talk! ”。

Tao Yong listened and said, "I'll go over too." Say hello to Mr. Zhang! Tao Yong received a lot of guidance from Zhang Chenglin during this time. Of course, you should go over and say hello politely.

Zheng Xiaopeng opened his mouth and said to Tao Yong: "Then look for me when you have nothing to do, I have something to discuss with you!" ”。

After listening to Zheng Xiaopeng's words, Tao Yong nodded and followed Fang Yi and Yan Daqi towards the place where the three old men pointed out by Zheng Xiaopeng stayed.

"Teacher! Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang! Fang Yi and the three of them said hello.

Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and the three of them and said with a smile: "It's not time to start it yet, you don't have to accompany us, go and see the painting yourself." When it's time to start, just wait for me at the door! ”。

Today's exhibition is not open to the public, and there are not even journalists, only friends of Liu Hongshuo and Fang Yi's master and apprentice, as well as some artists from Shicheng. In this master-apprentice exhibition, there is no such thing as a leader's speech to encourage creation. Not only Fang Yi, but Liu Hongshuo himself hated this tune. All unnecessary lines were reduced together, and only the master and apprentice were left to stand at the door to greet the guests for about 20 minutes to half an hour.

After listening to the teacher's words, Fang Yi took his senior brother to see the painting, and Tao Yong went to Zheng Xiaopeng to talk about something.

Yan Daqi saw Fang Yi's post-impressionist style works for the first time at this time, and looked more carefully at this style, and after reading a few paintings, he turned his head to Fang Yi's little junior brother and said, "Your progress is not small!" It's been over a year since I last saw your painting! Now that it has reached such a point, the complex relationship of the picture and the handling of some difficult techniques seem to be easy! Now that the painting style has post-impressionism, it won't turn into abstract lyricism, tell me earlier, let's have a joint exhibition together! ”。

"Lyrical style?" Fang Yi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about this matter yet!" But maybe I'll draw some in the future. But my main focus is on the classicist realism technique! These post-impressionist stuff is just a kind of spice for me! ”。

Repeating his technique over and over again, for Fang Yi, there is not much fun left to break through the bottleneck now, and now he is facing a new bottleneck, after painting the triptych of the altar, the large tone with silver and blue tones can no longer satisfy Fang Yi, and the simple repetition is naturally empty and boring. Sometimes Fang Yi will feel bored, and these post-impressionism are improvisations when adjusting and taking a break, which does not mean that Fang Yi will focus on impressionism in his future creations.

Fang Yi is not sure that he will not create abstract works in the future. This matter depends on the mood, you can't draw a circle for yourself, you must not do anything or you must do something. Sometimes, for the person who creates, it is the inspiration that comes and what he paints is what he paints.

The two brothers watched and chatted quickly, and it was time to start the business, Fang Yi naturally followed the teacher to the door, greeting some of the teacher's friends, as well as the juniors who came on behalf of the friends. However, these juniors look like they are all older than Fang Yi, and Fang Yi only has this brother, this sister calls all the way over. Fortunately, there is a Yan Daqi next to him, who is regarded as Fang Yi's fellow junior brother, and it is also easy to greet these people, which greatly relieves Fang Yi's psychological pressure, and with these elder sisters, Fang Yi's age of about twenty has nothing to talk about except art.

After greeting the guests for more than half an hour, Fang Yi picked up a bottle of mineral water and hid to the side to be lazy for a while, anyway, it was almost time for the guests to arrive.

As soon as he unscrewed the cap of the bottle, before the mouth of the bottle reached his mouth, he saw Zheng Xiaopeng walking towards him with a smile: "Fang Yi! What about staying here and hiding here? ”。

"Brother Zheng!" Fang Yi greeted Zheng Xiaopeng.

thought that this person came to hide for a few minutes like himself, but the next words made Fang Yi know that he was wrong, and people followed him.

Zheng Xiaopeng smiled at Fang Yi and said, "We Jinpeng want to sign Qu Gu and the three of them!" There is no problem on Wei Jin and Tao Yong's side, but Qu Gu's side can help me talk about it! ”。

"That's a good thing! But they're still in school, and they won't graduate until a year later! You're ready to do it so quickly? Fang Yi smiled and poured a sip of water and asked, the three roommates were able to sign the gallery so quickly, and when Fang Yi was happy for them, it meant that in the future, the three of them had already waved their hands to the edge of the bowl of art.

Zheng Xiaopeng said: "Start quickly, start slowly!" There is more than a year in the early stage of operation, and the time is about the same, originally we were optimistic about Wang Hongqi, but I wanted to wait and observe, who knew that Lu Dao was preempted by Lu Qikun's gallery! It's better to make up your mind early, not only Qu Gu and the three of us, but we are also a little interested in Zhu Zheng! ”。

If you want to paint well, talent is one aspect, but you have to see more and think more about painting, and it goes without saying that you want to paint more, and it is obvious that you want to look at Lu's paintings more, so that you can know where others are good, whether they can be used by me, and you don't need to explain more if you think more.

Fang Yi hasn't thought about the meaning of his small circle yet, for Fang Yi is just some good friends who come to chat, often open salons, look at everyone's recent new works, discuss painting skills, and everyone eats and drinks happily.

In fact, from the overall point of view of this circle, there are Liu Hongshuo, Liu Yuchan and Zhang Chenglin, the three masters, and Fang Yi himself below, in addition to Lu Qikun, Pang Xiaoyong, Lang Yanguang and Zhou Tong, who are now a little famous, plus Wang Hongqi, who is a little famous at the beginning, Qu Gu, Tao Yong, Wei Jin and Zhao Jie, who took the time to come over from time to time, failed to take the stone art exam again, and Zhu Zheng, who dissolved in the most. This gives the people in the circle a big external condition to improve their skills.

Don't mention others, when Qu Gu's three roommates entered the school, the art test was also a high score, ninety-ninety-five, without Fang Yi's pressure in that art exam, the three of them might be able to get two perfect scores, how to say that this talent is also a little bit. squatting in such a small circle, it is nonsense to say that it has been mixed up and passed down through the ages, but it is much easier to mix and eat art than some people next to it.

There is no comparison in terms of resources, just like now, the people of Jinpeng have noticed the three of Qu Gu, not to mention the students in school, even if they are young teachers of stone art, there are a lot of people who can't sign the gallery! And the people in contact with it are not comparable, not to mention Liu Hongshuo, it is Lu Qikun with such a character, who has a reputation in China. If Fang Yi's painting is average, Lu Qikun is not interested in participating in any salon run by Fang Yi at all, the grade is too low! There will be no intersection with Zhu Zheng and other students who are still in the second grade! Unless Zhu Zheng can draw into the eyes of Lu Qikun and others one day. (To be continued......)
