437, do not break, do not stand
Critics must act as if everyone in the world is drunk and sober in order to show their own uniqueness and unique opinions.
Therefore, they will do their best to criticize all kinds of works, and dig out their hearts to find any issues that can be judged by them.
Because if there is a wave of amiable touting, then why comment.
Anyone can praise it.
It's like Wan Changsheng: "So the name of this painting is Yi, although this is a word often used in the name, but it is enough to express the intention of the creator, and I think there is still a bit of traditional Chinese painting in it......"
In the face of such a standard modern oil painting, Wan Changsheng can actually talk about Chinese painting, which will definitely lead to a question: "Where can you see it?" ”
Naturally, he told the joke of "Tibetan Ancient Temple in the Deep Mountains": "Chinese painting likes to pay attention to the tactful expression of this meaning outside the painting, which is the artistic conception of Chinese painting, so I think this painter is also very interesting, and from this perspective reflects the combination of Chinese and Western." ”
Connoisseurs who understand Chinese painting are naturally laughing at this guy for showing off such an old-fashioned and simple joke.
The laymen thought oh oh, it was very interesting, and a leader who didn't talk much before laughed: "The ancient temple in the deep mountains, according to what you said, it's a bit ancient to think about it, so how about you come and give this oil painting a name?" A lot of people don't know this word, I don't even dare to recognize it......"
This is a smart person, deliberately making fun of himself in inconsequential places, and he thinks he is funny and open-minded.
Everyone laughed, but the surrounding cameras were busy, such a harmonious leader visited the scene.
Wan Changsheng also smiled: "According to the interest of Chinese painting, then there can be no hot words, so that all audiences can understand, then naturally you can use the most well-known sentence, hoe day noon, needless to say, everyone knows what is expressed, right." ”
In fact, this is no less than a small popularization of art, and the popularization of this artistic meaning for art laymen.
They couldn't help but applaud: "Yes, yes, yes!" Sweat drops down the soil, and immediately express this feeling of hard work! ”
"Even more far-reaching, the peasants work, the workers are hard, the meaning of this painting is not only to reflect such a welding scene, but to praise the good quality of the working people, right?"
"Mm-hmm, interesting, interesting......"
But the leader continued to make things difficult for Wan Changsheng: "This is a famous sentence, you take one yourself, I believe in your skills." ”
Wan Changsheng pondered: "The steel flowers are red like fire, and the back sweat is like splashing. ”
Except for the click of the shutter, the exhibition hall was quiet, and the leader took the lead in applauding: "I suggest contacting this painter and changing the name of the painting, the layout of the whole painting is a lot higher, and no one will simply think that this is just the spark of welding of the painting......
The leaders of the art institutions echoed the words.
Wan Changsheng smiled: "I'm taking the retro poems of the Song Dynasty to change my face, just let me go!" ”
All the leaders, who were at least fifty years old, smiled and continued to walk forward.
It really makes the painters around you feel in a groove, but you are really shameless, and you are so skilled in selling cute clothes.
Of course, I soon saw Wan Changsheng's gold medal works, and they were still hanging in the most conspicuous place in the Chinese Painting Hall, so I must have wanted to embarrass Wan Changsheng!
Because looking at so many well-drawn oil paintings in front of him, Wan Changsheng looked at his extremely familiar group portrait again, and he almost wanted to walk around......
But the leaders didn't do it, especially the leaders of the art institutions took the initiative to introduce: "Yes, yes, this is Wan Changsheng's work, hahaha......"
And then they all hahaha, because now you can understand why his work is named Sanchunhui.
I feel that before looking at my own paintings, this product is very shameless to popularize the principle of naming first.
Of course, Wan Changsheng's scroll painting of more than five meters long is also very suitable for many people to see, and everyone slowly wandered over side by side, and found that they could fully understand the meaning that was not straightforward.
Ninety-nine characters, all of them are parents, in the painting of the classroom window showing a little arm holding a book, the campus fence to cover the gobbling up children only chopsticks, the back of the parking lot lying on the lunch break children show a little toe, but around these cold windows to study hard, it is the details of parents holding lunch boxes and holding fans to chase mosquitoes, and there are also parents who sit on the side of the road and are annoyed, hating iron is not steel, but more are tiptoe expectations.
Wan Changsheng is very good at painting this kind of sentient beings, how much he painted on the temple wall, and even under the influence of Luo Youdao, it has increased the interest of many characters to be related to each other, rather than the upright relationship between gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters like before.
For example, there are always parents with big hearts, and when they send their children, they will use poker to hook up with the parents next to them for a while?
So it may seem a little shallow and stable to the insider, but it is quite interesting to the layman, the picture scroll is so long, and it is easy to have a sense of reading when you look at it this way.
Especially with so many characters, with different styles and styles, there will always be one or two that make the audience smile and contact the people around them, maybe they are like their parents when they were studying.
It's easy to touch.
So there was almost no need for Wan Changsheng to explain, and the leaders began to carefully observe the painting with their hands behind their backs.
Really take it seriously.
When Wan Changsheng was originally created as a graduation work, it was purely habitual opportunistic, and the cunning of the small people in the mountains and wilderness in his bones, he could not say that he did not take it seriously when he painted long, which could cover up his arbitrariness in conception.
The technique, meaning, and meaning are extremely simple.
But it's this kind of shallowness, when the foundation is reached, it will show the effect of the current ingenuity.
Because Wan Changsheng's skills are too skilled, in addition to saying that he is a bit bland in terms of character form, he really can't pick out the basic problems, so even if the whole painting is simple in concept, it relies on enough details, such as the father who quietly fanned his child by the back car door, it reveals the deep interest of licking calves, behind every two parents is a family's expectations, and each character vividly expresses their different educational support for their children.
This kind of theme that is related to thousands of families is very flattering, and almost all of the people who come to see the exhibition are parents, so it is easy to resonate.
The most important thing is to understand.
I can understand the parental feelings behind it.
Pile up so many details worth seeing, walk over slowly, and look forward to what kind of picture will be behind it, after watching it more than five meters long, I even want to go back and see the picture that impresses me.
So not only the seven or eight leaders of various departments, but also more than a dozen officials of art institutions were watching, and the art guests, big names, and even media reporters and cameras were also watching, holding the camera with anti-shake equipment steadily, slowly and smoothly moving, and filming the entire picture scroll.
This is also because of the clever use of the frame, so slender and far away to shoot a panorama, I can't see what the content is at all, so I can only get close to the mobile shooting, and some people are even contacting the logistics department to adjust a set of tracks!
Some of the participating painters inevitably began to think, maybe this young man's scenery is not so lucky, right?
There are indeed many problems in this society, some people like to tear up the bloody darkness, some people like to whitewash and cover up, how should artists express themselves in the face of this social structure that has both great achievements and intricate social structure?
The management mechanism must have a taste for great success, and it is also a lazy management that stops, deletes, and covers up at every turn.
But blindly seeking stability and avoiding harm, avoiding reality and virtuality, only spending a good moon, the years are quiet, and all the responsibility is pushed to the management department?
Wan Changsheng's work can be regarded as stable, but it is still very different from the theme of praising the revolution at every turn.
At least at this point, many people have basically labeled him as realism.
This twenty-two-year-old young man has surpassed his age in terms of works, at least age can shelter him, and it is rare to be able to see the height of people's livelihood in this society at this age.
See what other twenty-two-year-olds are still thinking?
Therefore, "Sanchunhui" can win the gold award, and there is still some level of strength.
Of course, seal carving is placed in the same exhibition hall as Chinese painting, which requires Wan Changsheng to explain.
After all, all seal carving works are seals, and if no one says it, it is easy to make a joke about "women's treasures".
Of course, the key comment must be Wan Changsheng's own "virtual and real life".
In this situation, of course, no one rashly said how much this stone was worth.
Wan Changsheng himself did not mention it, mainly talking about what the above inscription is about: "The seal is usually the carrier of the lyrical metaphor of the ancient literati, because my main business is sculpture now, so I slightly combine the feeling of sculpture on this stone, and treat this seal as a small sculpture, which shows a philosophy of life, rigid and soft, virtual and real, too rigid and easy to break, too soft and no principle, how to find this balance point, is the meaning that this seal wants to embody." ”
With this said, almost everyone can understand why some of the corners of this stone are hard and sharp, and some are rounded.
Judging from the expressions of everyone listening, this seal carving art is not so mysterious, and it is so simple to explain the ins and outs.
It's good, it's good.
As for the content of the seal text below, the appreciation of the beauty of the seal text, Wan Changsheng didn't say much about it.
For hundreds of thousands of years, engraving seals has been a very technical thing, but it is only in the past few years that the development of science and technology has suddenly become something that anyone can do.
Of course, some people will feel panicked, the former elegant art has become a ubiquitous stall, but Wan Changsheng feels that it is an opportunity, an opportunity to lower the threshold and be popularized, but he has not yet figured out how to do it, and this is a major turning point in the seal carving world, he has not yet regarded himself as a savior, take his time.
Especially the kind of thinking in some people's minds that they are high up and want to close the door and look up to themselves, how difficult it is to persuade them, it is better to let them encounter the cruel push of the times first.
Not breaking or standing is the correct attitude promoted by the times.
