"I remember that in this adult group work, Akira Kuronomiya, a student of Mr. Yamauchi, also successfully entered the final screening stage, right?"

Next to him, a painter who has won several awards in active service leaned over and said with a smile: "Should it be said that a famous teacher produces a high apprentice?" I've seen Kuronomiya-kun's previous works, and it's really good. ”

He didn't overdo it, he just told the truth.

After all, there are only a few famous students from the five major art departments in Tokyo, and the rest are all those who plan to specialize in art and design in the future, unlike painters like them, who rely purely on painting and sculpture.

As for the title of 'Jun', this is quite normal, after all, the elders can also use the title of the younger generation.

"Hei Gong's classmate is indeed very talented." Yamauchi didn't hypocritically say a lot of 'what's not there, she's not quite good', he nodded straightly, and then added: "What she lacks now is experience, the younger generation of students... She should be considered the leading batch. ”

This is still a very pertinent assessment.

"Haha," the middle-aged active painter laughed twice, and turned to look at the twenty paintings of the adult group that had been hung up by the staff.

He perked up a little.

After all, it's the evaluation of the paintings in the adult group, and the quality of the "Tokyo Sunset Impression" I just watched is so high that it's simply crushing compared to the other students below... Naturally, there is nothing to compare with.

"Speaking of which, what is the name of the author of the "Tokyo Sunset: Impressions" just now?" The middle-aged active painter looked up and asked casually.

really asked casually, he naturally couldn't remember all the more than 20 selected paintings, not to mention that it was only a gold award work in the student group, of course he didn't particularly care.

"It's Tsukasa Higashino from Kitagijuku Private High School, and it's a good material for drawing." On the first floor of Yamauchi, I was already watching the work of the adult group, but I still casually reported the name of Tsukasa Higashino.

This made the middle-aged active painter who asked the question just stunned, and then a little embarrassed.

He casually asked the author's name, but he didn't expect that the first floor of Yamauchi would even pay attention to the school.

I guess that's the gap.

The middle-aged active painter shook his head and began to admire the works of the adult group.

The selection criteria for the adult category of the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards are stricter than those for the student category.

Some of the works of the student group that are not bad are brought to the adult group, and it is estimated that they will not even be able to pass the audition... Of course, the "Tokyo Sunset: Impression" just now says something else.

That painting feels really amazing, and it feels like it's definitely a very good work when it comes to the adult group, and even if it gets the adult group, maybe the gold award can be won by it.

But...

The middle-aged active painter shook his head slightly.

This time in the adult group, there is Yamauchi's proud protégé Kuronomiya Akisa, and the level of Kuronomiya Akisa, who has been guided by Yamauchi's first floor, has been completely raised.

"Heigongjun's "Shangjing" is really interesting."

Looking at the oil painting in front of him with cold colors as the main color, someone next to him sighed.

At a cursory glance, it seems that the colors are very thick and messy, but if you look closely, you will find that the colors formed by these colors are actually a whirlpool of pulling and deformation, and the colors are very distinct, and the brushstrokes appear to be scattered.

Colorful figures are reflected in the whirlpool, and the urban jungle of Tokyo is erected...

In the midst of the whirlpool, there is a large bright red fish that has not yet been stained with any variegated color.

The fins flapped and stretched, and the body of the fish bent and twisted, as if struggling in this colorful swirl...

The moral of this painting is actually not difficult to understand.

Just by looking at the title, you can probably see it.

'Kamikyo' is actually a phenomenon in Japan.

Kyoto here refers to 'Tokyo'.

'Kamikyo' is synonymous with the dreams of young people who come from all over Japan to Tokyo, which is known as 'gold everywhere'.

Rural, small towns, metropolises... There are all kinds of young people.

They came to Tokyo in order to get ahead in Tokyo and make a lot of money, so that they could return to their hometowns.

This is actually the same reason that people from all over the provinces in China are flocking to Beijing, or other big cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou.

But there are so many temptations in Tokyo.

In the glittering city of Tokyo, as long as you have money, you can get anything...

The fish in Kuronomiya Akisa's "Uekyo represents" the image of young people who have come to Tokyo from all over the world, and the whirlpool of people and cityscapes refers to the temptation of Tokyo's filth.

The fish struggling in the whirlpool is the epitome of the struggle of the Kamikyo clan in Tokyo.

"The meaning and technique are enough...", the middle-aged active painter couldn't help muttering.

Yes.

Kuronomiya Mingsha's "Shangjing" not only has a very tasteful meaning, but also tests the composition and skills of the overall picture.

First, we should not let these bright and dense colors suppress the background color, so that they will dominate and highlight the dominant position of the 'fish' in the whirlpool.

Second, the brushstrokes should not be too messy, otherwise the colorful colors will be pasted, and the whole picture will look very 'dirty'.

... It's no wonder that many college students who know each other in the five major art academies in Tokyo call Kuronomiya Akira a genius... This does have a set.

The middle-aged active painter nodded with satisfaction, feeling that this time the gold reward was estimated to be Kuromiya Mingsha, so he planned to turn around and congratulate Yamauchi on the first floor: "Mr. Yamauchi, congratulations, Kuronomiya-kun's "Shangjing" is very good, and the gold reward is expected." ”

He said with a smile, but didn't hear a reply.

Then he said a word to the first floor of Yamauchi.

But there was still no response.

This made the middle-aged active painter can't help but look sideways at the first floor of Yamauchi.

The first floor of Yamauchi half-raised his head and looked ahead, and the whole person was stunned.

The middle-aged active painter followed his gaze and realized that the first floor of Yamauchi was originally looking at a painting.

This surprised him a little.

Kuronomiya Akisa's "Shangjing" is so good, why is Yamauchi still looking at other people's works on the first floor?

Could it be that you can kill some dark horse halfway?

How is that possible?

The middle-aged active painter erased this thought.

It's not that he looks down on the other contestants, it's that he's there as a professional-level active painter.

Even if Kuronomiya Mingsha's "Shangjing" is taken to debut as a professional-level painter, it is estimated that it is not a big problem, what other wild way can the dark horse come out and knock this professional-level work down from the sky?

It's impossible to think about.

Rational analysis and thinking in the past also knew that it was impossible.

He thought so, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.

What kind of work can attract the first floor of Yamauchi, which is known for its severity?

Thinking so, the middle-aged active painter curiously leaned over to the first floor of Yamauchi and looked up—

"Tokyo"? Directly use the topic as the title? This author is still a little interesting.

The middle-aged active painter muttered and looked at it intently.

And then—

Looking at it, he was also distracted...
