Chen Quan bent down in front of the painting for about 20 minutes, not speaking, motionless, and the whole person took a break from time to time, obviously trying to think about something.

Zeng Xin saw the painting "Eternity" for the first time today, and he was directly stunned! looked at "Eternity", and then looked at his two portraits, and immediately understood why Zhou Kun said that before.

At this moment, in her gaze at Lu An, in addition to envy, jealousy and hatred, there was more of a sense of powerlessness and admiration.

That's the gap!

The sense of disparity brought by super talent reminded Zeng Xin of a sentence: Sometimes the gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs.

Zhou Kun saw the complicated mood on Zeng Xin's face, and he could understand it very well. But I don't know why, I feel a lot happier for no reason, as if I am no longer lonely, and finally find a confidant who is also a fallen person at the end of the world.

Yu Guanzhi was the last person to get close to the "eternal" oil painting, and after staring at the oil painting intently for about ten minutes, many doubts and puzzles flashed in her eyes.

Then she looked at Uncle Chen next to her, but unfortunately, the latter did not have the same tacit understanding as before at this time, so he didn't pay attention to her at all.

In other words, Chen Quan was immersed in the world of painting, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the movements outside the venue.

His eyes stayed on Uncle Chen for more than ten seconds, and Yu Guanzhi realized that he didn't seem to get an answer, but Uncle Chen's appearance seemed to have given her an answer.

And as Chen Bo was immersed in the painting for a long time, Yu Guanzhi affirmed a certain conjecture in his heart.

Meng Qingchi didn't know how to draw, so he kept standing behind the crowd and observing everyone's reactions.

Through the strong expressions of Zhou Kun and Zeng Xin, she knew one thing: Xiao An's painting is very good.

Through Mr. Chen's lengthy contemplation, she knew that the painting was better than she had imagined.

Thinking of this, Meng Qingchi looked at Lu An, a little happy in his heart, and a little proud of him.

For a long time, she has always treated Xiao An as a family member and as her own relatives, he has a talent for painting, and he can achieve results in painting, which is naturally what she wants to see the most.

Seeing that she was quietly looking at herself, Lu An walked over and blinked, a little proud: "Sister Qingchi, I have flowers on my face?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Qingchi smiled, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, ready to make dinner. At the same time, I thought in my heart that I should tell Qingshui about this as soon as possible, so that she could be happy.

The atmosphere of the dinner was eerie, and Chen Quan seemed to be immersed in the paintings all the time, not talking to people much.

In the middle of the meal, he suddenly looked up and asked Lu An, "When was this painting made?" ”

Luan replied, "A month ago." ”

Chen Quan stared at him and asked, "Why did you choose to create such a painting?" ”

"Because of my own needs," Luan said. ”

Because of their own needs? After Chen Quan chewed his words repeatedly, he seemed to understand, and it seemed that many things that puzzled him had been solved.

Finally he asked, "Do you sell this painting?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was eating slowed down their movements like slow motion, and looked at Lu An in unison.

Meeting the five pairs of eyes, Lu An shook his head.

was rejected, Chen Quan didn't seem surprised, but the expression on his face was still a little disappointed.

No, even a little lost.

Then he took out a gray velvet cloth from his pocket, wiped his glasses, and continued to eat, without asking any more questions.

Chen Quan's inexplicable question, and the inexplicable end, made the curiosity of everyone at the table even greater. But because the parties are all there, there is no way to get to the bottom of it.

When Chen Quan and Lu An were talking just now, Yu Guanzhi had been paying attention to Lu An's expression and pondering his thoughts.

But in the end, she was calm, before she figured out Uncle Chen's exact thoughts, she didn't startle the snake, but took the initiative to take out a business card from her bag and handed it to Lu An before leaving:

"I've been disturbed a lot in the past two days, this is my business card, if you want to go to Shanghai in the future, you can contact me."

Lu An looked at the mist-filled eyes, and instantly realized: the woman in front of her was fascinated by the "eternal" oil painting, and this business card was a hindsight.

Then he couldn't help but think deeply:

She can't see through my mind, right?

See through me, this is a means of retreating?

See through this is a plan to increase your value?

Seeing through the idea that you want to hug your thighs?

So give this business card as a temptation?

Thoughts are like electricity, fleeting, Lu An pressed these messy guesses, glanced at the business card, and found that in addition to the name and landline number, there was also the contact information of the big brother.

Good thing, I don't have to say it, Lu An took it with both hands, opened the drawer, and solemnly put the business card in.

Seeing that the other party was still looking at him, Lu An immediately tore off a page of blank paper, wrote down the public phone number at the mouth of the alley, thought about it, and wrote the landline number of the Meng family, handed it over shamelessly and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, the home is relatively simple, there is no landline, if you don't bother, use this one first. When I have a business card in the future, I'll send you one. ”

Hearing "mail one to you", Yu Guanzhi looked at him meaningfully, and saw through his words at a glance: keep in touch more, don't cut off contact.

But she didn't expose it, reached out and took the note, looked down, and put it in her bag.

Later, she said to Meng Qingchi and Lu An: "Then let's go first, thank you two for your hospitality." ”

Meng Qingchi sent a few people to the door, "You're polite, go slowly." ”

Santana is gone, taking the four with him.

Seeing the car disappear at the entrance of the alley, Meng Qingchi looked a little stunned.

After being banned in the courtyard, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao An, do you think they will come back?" ”

"Yes." Luan closed the door.

Seeing what he said categorically, Meng Qingchi pondered for a long time, and then went to the kitchen to prepare to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhang Xuan was not idle and followed in.

Although washing dishes and washing clothes is what he hates the most, it also depends on the situation, right?

It is said that men and women match, work is not tired, and with Sister Qingchi, he is in pain and happy.

…

Hotel, suite living room.

After Zhou Kun and Zeng Xin left, Yu Guanzhi, who had always been silent about the "eternal" oil paintings, leaned forward slightly.

began to ask: "Uncle Chen, what do you think of that painting?" ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Quan shocked her as soon as he opened his mouth, and saw him say very seriously: "We need this painting." ”

Yu Guanzhi looked at him and waited for the following.

Chen Quan expressed his opinion: "You may not believe it, but I actually saw the shadow of Klee in this painting, which made me..."

Yu Guanzhi asked: "Swiss painter, Paul Klee?" ”

Chen Quan nodded: "Yes, it's him." I wonder if Luan has ever seen Klee's paintings up close? I don't know where he passed through and saw it? But there is indeed a shadow of Klee.

But...

That's not the most important thing, though. The most important thing is that he takes inspiration from Klee's paintings and leaps into the world of abstraction, what does that mean?

The development of Western painting is now facing a bottleneck, and the breakthrough is in the direction of abstraction, which is also the reason why realistic oil painting is gradually declining in the West, and even many famous schools have canceled realistic oil painting courses.

But this breakthrough is not so easy to cross, in reality, one hundred painters is often very good, and it is more difficult for a carp to jump over the dragon gate than we imagined.

Of course, if that's all it takes, it won't away.

What makes me feel that the most commendable thing about this painting is that Lu An has integrated the rendering method and spatial concept of Chinese ink painting into his painting creation, and Shengsheng has opened up his own path, and Shengsheng has taken his painting to another level.

The "eternal" color and spatial allocation of his painting gave me a taste of another world, an infinite world that seemed to be invisible and tangible. It's remarkable.

His talent is just like what Zhou Kunxin said: it's terrifying. Puts me off. ”

Yu Guanzhi pondered for a long time and asked: "So Lu An can not only oil paintings, but also Zhongguo ink paintings?" ”

Chen Quan said in a very affirmative tone: "It will definitely be, and the level is not low." ”

Yu Guanzhi fell silent.

Because she also felt a lot of new things from "eternity", but her artistic attainments were far less than Chen Bogao, so she didn't dare to confirm it for a while.

Yu Guanzhi thought about it in his heart, and asked: "Based on Chen Bo's 30 years of work experience at Sotheby's New York, what price can this painting be sold for at the auction house?" ”

Chen Quan had obviously thought about this question along the way, pondering and saying:

"The painting has taken a new direction, and it's a gimmick, and if it's properly advertised, it's worth a hundred thousand dollars."

Yu Guanzhi did not doubt the authenticity of these words, but asked: "If Uncle Chen you operate it yourself, how sure are you?" ”

Chen Bo said: "He is a newcomer in this industry, and it takes a lot of time and financial resources to operate, but it is conservatively estimated that it is 60%. ”

Yu Guanzhi knew it in his heart, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, then we will postpone the trip back, our newly opened galleries and auction houses need a pair of pioneering works at the level of 100,000 US dollars."

There is a need for a painter of this level. ”

PS: The price of $100,000 is estimated by checking a lot of information from that era in March, and if you have different opinions, you can put forward valuable opinions.
