"You're absolutely right, that's what I did with these two paintings—to express the complexity and contradiction of human nature, truth and falsehood, good and evil, light and dark, to some extent, can coexist." He Yang couldn't help but smile, "I really didn't expect it, Xiao Tao, you can even guess this." Looks like I'm going to lose you a lot of ice cream today. ”

"What? Are you distressed? Su Tao said jokingly.

"How can I feel distressed if I give you food." He Yang hurriedly said, "You can eat as much as you want." ”

"Haha, then I can eat you poor." Su Tao smiled as she took He Yang and walked forward.

The exhibition hall on the second floor is divided into many cubicles, and the corridor is also zigzag, and both of them are a little dizzy. Su Tao asked He Yang as she walked, "Hey, He Yang, what should you do after the exhibition of these paintings is finished?" Will I give it back to you?"

"Not necessarily, in principle, these paintings are donated to art museums, and after the exhibition is over, they will be voted on, and then auctioned, and some people will sell them. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to public welfare organizations. Of course, if the painting doesn't sell, and you want to keep it as a souvenir, you can get it back by paying a mounting fee. ”

"Oh, I see." Su Ying nodded vigorously as she listened.

"In fact, no one participated in this auction for the money, they just wanted to use this opportunity to show their works on the platform. If it happens to be auctioned off, it can also increase its popularity and pave the way for its future future. He Yang continued to explain.

"Let's go this way." Su Tao pointed to the passage on the left, "There seem to be more people here, let's go see if there are any more amazing works." ”

"Okay." He Yang agreed.

"Huh? The style here is so realistic. Su Tao looked at a few works in the exhibition hall on the left, and said to He Yang with emotion, "It doesn't look like a painting, but like a photographic work." ”

"This is hyperrealism, also known as hyperrealism," He Yang explains, "Hyperrealist paintings and sculptures create a tangible sense of solidity and physical existence through subtle lighting and shadow effects. ”

"So what's the difference between this and a photo?" Su Tao asked puzzled.

"Hyper-realist paintings tend to be 10 or 20 times larger than the original reference photographs, but retain extremely high color resolution, precision and detail. There is often an illusion of reality in these works that cannot be seen by the human eye. In addition, they may include emotional, social, cultural, and political thematic elements as an extension of the optical illusion, which is quite different from photorealism. ”

"Oh, I see. In other words, hyper-realist paintings not only have a higher level of precision than photographs, but can also express the emotions of the creator through details, right? Su Tao suddenly realized.

"Yes, in layman's terms, that's probably what you mean." He Yang nodded in approval.

"So have you ever tried something like that?" Su Tao said curiously, and seemed to be particularly interested in this style of work.

He Yang's face instantly became a little strange, and he seemed to freeze for a moment, and said, "I have tried it once or twice, but because this kind of work has to be achieved by airbrushing, using acrylic resin, oil, or both." The painting materials are not easy to prepare, and the drawing process is quite cumbersome, so I haven't dabbled in this field much anymore. ”

"You're an art student. Shouldn't it be a common thing to prepare painting materials or something? Do you say that you don't draw because it's inconvenient? Su Tao asked in surprise.

"Not exactly." He Yang replied with a strange expression, "There are still other reasons......

"What? Is it because the attempt was not very successful? Su Tao asked.

"Maybe you'll find out later......" He Yang said, suddenly seeing Su Tao's face change, he followed Su Tao's gaze, and sure enough...... She finally saw it.

Su Tao was just chatting with He Yang on the side, when she suddenly noticed that several people in front of her stopped to look at a work, a little curious, and when she looked at it, she almost screamed - it was Su Ying, the portrait of her sister. Perhaps in the eyes of other people who don't know her, she and her sister look exactly the same, and it is difficult to distinguish them, but she can tell at a glance that the person in the painting is her sister Su Ying. Because although she and her sister Su Ying's appearance are very similar, their makeup, hairstyle, and even demeanor, temperament and subtle movements are quite different. Not to mention Su Tao herself, even the people who are close to him can easily tell who is Su Ying and who is Su Tao between the two of them. The girl in this work is obviously her sister Su Ying, with long wavy hair lazily draped over her shoulders, her signature flaming red lips, a smile hooked at the corner of her mouth, and affectionate eyes with a story at a glance...... Look intently at the people who are amazed outside the painting.

So, this is the work that He Yang said before coming here that she must be allowed to see with her own eyes, right? Her sister. How gorgeous and enchanting, how brilliant and dazzling, like a gift from the gods to the world. The beauty of every part of Su Ying, the style of every place, are fully displayed under He Yang's pen. But these are all in the past, and they are all in the past. This stunner, who seems to be a gift from the gods, is in a trance of a drop in the ocean, and on a night of indulgence, her life ends under the eyes of the gods. That's right, He Yang is right, this is super realism, it's art, it's not a casual photo, because no photo can show her so vividly, and it can't show the real Su Ying...... And this work did, without a doubt.

Two lines of tears crossed Su Tao's cheeks, but she hadn't noticed it yet. He Yang walked over and gently wiped the tears from her face, "Baby, that's why I don't paint any hyperrealist works anymore." Because my first hyper-realist work was inspired by your sister, and the only one I painted like this was her, which is probably the pinnacle of my style. I don't think I'll ever create more hyper-realistic paintings than this one. And every time I try to pick up the airbrush again, I think of your sister...... I didn't think I could go on with such painful memories, so I gave up. Saying that, He Yang gently hugged Su Tao from behind, "I don't know what to do with this painting, its existence reminds me of Su Ying's death every day, so I donated it to the art museum." However, I think you have the right and should have another chance to see it, I painted it for your sister, and I was going to give it to her after the painting was completed, but unfortunately I didn't wait for this opportunity, Su Ying ...... so suddenly. So, I think you're her only relative, and you should take a look at her. ”

Su Tao turned around abruptly and hugged He Yang tightly, "Thank you, He Yang." Thank you! Thank you for taking me to see her," her voice was still a little choked, "He Yang, do you know?" I just saw this painting as if I really saw her again...... It was as if she was smiling at me, just like before. I didn't even think for a moment that she wasn't dead, she was still by my side, she would wait at the door for me to go home after class, and she would go with me to have milk tea...... He Yang, I really, miss her so much......"

Su Tao's movement was a bit big, alarming the crowd who were watching the work in front, some people turned to look at her, but were surprised to find that there was a girl who looked exactly like the work, the crowd began to whisper, many people thought that this was just a portrait painted by a boy for his beloved girl, and the girl who came to watch was moved to cry love story, and some even let out a light-hearted laugh. He Yang was keenly aware of Su Tao's emotion, and said soothingly, "Let's go first, let's go to the side and rest for a while, okay?" ”

"No, I don't want it," Su Tao sobbed and said intermittently, "I don't want to leave that painting here, that's my sister, I'm going to take it away." I can't leave her here alone. ”

"Okay, listen to you, let's buy it and take it with us later, okay? It's not auction time yet. Let's go to the lounge and rest for a while, huh? He Yang patiently coaxed and persuaded him, and finally slowly persuaded Su Tao.

placed Su Tao in the lounge, Su Tao was tired from crying, and a little tired, so she fell asleep on the sofa in the lounge. He Yang saw that Su Tao had finally fallen asleep, and his heart was slightly relieved, but when he thought about the work again, he couldn't help but worry again. He went to the top floor alone to find the organizer to identify himself, and expressed his willingness not to auction his work called "Sakura", and was willing to pay double the mounting fee, as long as the work was returned to him at the end of the exhibition. The person in charge of the chubby organizer received him warmly, listened to his appeal seriously, and then rejected him in a kind tone, "Mr. He, I think we have all confirmed the ownership of this work by our museum at the beginning of the conclusion of our contract. It can be said that the policy of returning the goods after paying the framing fee is just a humane solution for works that have not been auctioned. We provide a platform for you to become famous, and you provide your work for free to our charity auction. Your work "Sakura" was quite popular at this exhibition, and you took the opportunity to become famous, but you wanted to get it back, which inevitably violated the spirit of the contract. What's more, your work is marketed through our platform, and now you want to take back ownership and sell it yourself......"

"I'm not as filthy as you think!" He Yang was a little angry and said, "I really just want to take it back as a souvenir." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. He, I don't know your motives, and I don't need to know. But one thing is for sure, now that you own your work, if you really want it, then please join us for an auction at 4 p.m. The person in charge told him in an emotionless, businesslike tone.
