Chapter 182: Buying a painting depends on the name
Back in the studio, Fang Yi immediately began to work on his new ideas. The experience bar in his mind jumped a big step, making Fang Yi more handy in drawing, and obviously made a great leap forward in color organization. After a week of experimentation in the studio, Fang Yi was very satisfied with the small parts displayed on the canvas. I started to redraw the wedding portrait of my sister.
At this time, Fang Yi did not reorganize the picture at all, Fang Yi had thought about his sister's wedding portrait more than a thousand times, and he had already been familiar with it by heart. In addition, the experience bar in Fang Yi's mind has just broken through a big step and is in the stage of excitement, directly lifting the brush, it is completely a state of thinking about where to paint, and it feels like the color and composition are directly revealed from the brain, so random and natural.
When the painting is in full swing, it is time for the exhibition to begin. Fang Yi put down the brush in his hand very reluctantly, now Fang Yi's heart is a little disgusted to go to the art exhibition, his painting here is being interrupted by life, you say it's uncomfortable, it's not uncomfortable!
Fang Yi decided to take his easel and painting box to Mingzhu to participate in the art exhibition, so that both sides would not be delayed! For this decision, Fang Yi was very complacent. However, it was a little bitter Mu Jin, who wanted to chat and talk to Fang Yi about the things around him in his free time, but when he saw that there was still an easel in the hotel room, he was a little interested.
On the day of the official opening, Fang Yi changed into a set of slightly more solemn clothes in a darker color and attended the exhibition with his girlfriend.
In this exhibition, Fang Yi's several paintings with post-imprintist style can be divided into two groups, one group is the theme of the small forest in front of his house, and the four small forests are almost the same perspective, the main colors are indeed completely different, there are sunny days and rainy days, some morning and some night. Fang Yi gave the four paintings a different state of mind. The tangled in the rain, the joy of the sunny day, the brightness and brightness in the morning, the faint sorrow in the evening, and the other group are portraits of people, not only their own but also the other three people who are now exhibiting.
Fang Yi and Lu Qikun said hello, and then took Mu Jin to chat with Chen Shenglin and Zheng Xiaopeng. As a gallery for the sale of Fang Yi's paintings, and the first stop of the development is in the pearl, how can the two not be.
"Brother Fang Yi! Introduce you to someone" Chen Shenglin saw Fang Yi walking next to him, and everyone greeted him and opened his mouth to say.
"Who?" Fang Yi looked at Chen Shenglin and asked.
"It's Mr. An, who bought a painting last time! He's interested in your paintings," Chen Shenglin said with a smile. Turning his head to Zheng Xiaopeng next to him, he said, "You and Mu Jin, the big beauty, will chat for a while, and I'll take Fang Yi to Mr. An's side to say hello!" ”。
"Go ahead," Mu Jin nodded at Fang Yi and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Shenglin took Fang Yi to greet An Xiaojun and chatted with him by the way.
Zheng Xiaopeng looked at the backs of the two and said to Mu Jin: "Fang Yi is very talented! Mr. An liked his paintings very much and always wanted to buy them. However, now Fang Yi has a fixed collector, and he has not bought it! ”。
"Oh!" Mu Jin smiled when he heard this, but did not speak.
Chen Shenglin took Fang Yi with him. found An Xiaojun who was looking at the painting. Then introduced, several people stood in front of Fang Yi's works, and Fang Yi briefly explained his creative ideas, as well as his emotions at that time.
Fang Yi felt that there was nothing to explain too much about his painting, there was still a body on the picture, and it was not like Lang Yanguang who couldn't see the shape of the two painters. I think that others can understand it by looking at it, and I really don't have much to say.
After talking to An Xiaojun for a while, Fang Yi saw Lu Qikun walking towards the exit alone, twisting his body as he walked. A hairy look! couldn't help laughing, said a yawn to Chen Shenglin and An Xiaojun, and walked in the direction of Lu Qikun.
"What's wrong, it's so uncomfortable?" Fang Yi found Lu Qikun next to the trash can in a corner, watched the buttons of his shirt open several times, his tie was also pulled aside, holding a cigarette in one hand, holding the wall with the other hand, he lowered his head and smoked and asked with a smile.
Lu Qikun looked at Fang Yi and said, "Every time I wear this thing, I feel uncomfortable, my whole body is uncomfortable, it is too tight, it feels like something is tied to my body." After speaking, he took out a cigarette case from his pocket and popped one out and handed it to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi took the cigarette and lit it with a smile, and the two were smoking and chatting next to the trash can.
"Mr. Lu, hello" At this time, a woman in her thirties wearing professional clothes walked out of a door, said hello to Lu Qikun, and then nodded to Fang Yi, who she didn't know.
Glancing at the crack in the door that was pushed open, Fang Yi saw the painting hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but open his mouth to say to this person, "Can we go in and have a look?" ”。
Lu Qikun smiled and said, "Xiao Wang! Let's go in and see, this is my friend! Then he turned to Fang Yi and said: "These are all consignment and consignment paintings, and the price is not high, of course, the level is just like that!" After speaking, the cigarette butt was extinguished in the garbage can, and Fang Yi, who also extinguished the cigarette, walked inside.
The woman turned on the light in the house and wanted to take the two around, Lu Qikun said, "It's okay!" I'll just take my friend to see it, I don't need you to explain! ”。
"That's good! I'll be waiting for you here," Xiao Wang said with a smile.
After entering the door and looking at a few pictures, Fang Yi quickened his pace. Indeed, as Lu Qikun said, the level is very average! But the price is also very average, and the most expensive of the dozen or so pairs is more than 3,000 yuan.
Just when he was disappointed, the three paintings placed in the corner attracted Fang Yi's attention, the three paintings are from the same person's hand, the painting style is a little dark, and the deformation of the characters in the picture is also very large, the characters can only be said to have hands and feet, and they look like a person! Of course, it is correct for ordinary people to say that the painting is a ghost. Judging from the painting technique alone, the standard is very good, but the style of this whole painting looks like it makes people's backs flutter. A corner of each painting appears to have the author's name written in Russian.
Naturally, what attracted Fang Yi was the author's painting style, Fang Yi didn't know Russian, and he could probably guess the author's name by looking at the location of the writing. To Fang Yi's surprise, the author's name popped up in his mind now: Gregory? Nadeshkin.
This name made Fang Yi very interested! You must know that Lu Dao, the current teacher Liu Hongshuo, is still wearing an unknown hat in his mind! Although this name was not followed by the words of master and master, it was so dazzling in gold, and for the first time, a brown name popped out of Fang Yi's mind!
Thinking of this, Fang Yi said to Lu Qikun next to him, "How do you feel about these three?" ”
"The technique is okay, but I really don't like this style of painting! It's too dark, I'm afraid of attracting ghosts at home! Lu Qikun glanced at it and said.
"Do you want to buy one?" Fang Yi looked at Lu Qikun and said, "I feel that this person can become famous in the future!" ”。
"When did you become famous? Don't wait for me to be famous! Even if it turns to the sky, what does it have to do with me, and I really don't like this style of painting" Lu Qikun shouted to the door after saying to Fang Yi: "Xiao Wang, come here!" ”。
Waiting for Xiao Wang to walk in, he pointed to the three paintings and asked, "Why are these three paintings not priced?" Then he said to Fang Yi: "Which one did you fall into?" ”。
Fang Yi smiled at Xiao Wang and said, "I'm just asking to see if the price is acceptable!" I'd like to meet the artist if I can! ”。
Xiao Wang listened to it and said with a smile: "This is a person who came back from abroad and brought it back, and it is placed on consignment with us, and you can only go to Ukraine if you want to see the artist!" The price given by that person is four thousand five for a painting, and it's been almost four months since it was put here, and it's the first time you've asked for the price! Our boss is going to return this painting for another two months! ”。
"A gloomy painting of four thousand five?" Lu Qikun said a word, then turned his head to Fang Yi and said, "What do you think!" ”。
"Four thousand five?" Fang Yi looked at Xiao Wang and nodded, then said, "I want all three!" "Although it is one or two thousand yuan higher than the estimate just now, Fang Yi can start with the name of this one, and if there is a mistake, there is no letting go!
Lu Qikun said to Xiao Wang: "You go and ask that person at the lowest price first!" Where can an unknown foreign painting be bought so expensive, maybe he will buy it himself as if he picked it up for nothing! ”。
"That's fine! I'll help you ask" For Lu Qikun, the contracted painter of the gallery, Xiao Wang was still quite polite, and turned around to call after saying a word.
Fang Yi and the two waited here for a few minutes, Xiao Wang turned around and said that one was cheaper for three hundred, Fang Yi didn't bother to care about it anymore, and directly took out the card on his body and swiped it, and the three paintings were in the pocket. Not only the painting money, but also the commissions of the gallery are all Fang Yi, because of Lu Qikun, the commissions of the gallery are a little less interesting, and the last one is 15,000 yuan.
"I don't know what you're buying these three for," Lu Qikun looked at Fang Yi, who was smiling, and couldn't help asking.
"Investment!" Fang Yi replied directly.
"It's not famous, and it's still a hairy man. Who do you buy it for in the current domestic market? Lu Qikun shook his head: "And this style is really unpleasant, judging by the picture, it should be something from the difficult period when the Soviet Union collapsed." The style of painting is so dark, it is difficult to interest the domestic audience! ”。
"Take it! Just take this more than 10,000 yuan to be lost? Fang Yi's interest was very good, and he went back to the exhibition hall while chatting.
Fang Yi was happy to buy it here, and the one who sold the painting was also very happy when he heard that he had sold it, and said proudly to the fat woman beside him that he had exchanged a few bags of bread for more than 10,000 cash and came back! As soon as it changed hands, the profit rose N times. (To be continued......)
