109. Chen Shuren: I don't know what I'm drawing
The Centre Pompidou is a temple of modern art, and every exhibition here attracts many artists and art lovers.
Even if the exhibition is held by two artists from the East, there will still be many people who will come to the exhibition.
What's more, there is also a famous art manager Ji Fa operating behind the scenes, and many celebrities, rich people and artists have come to see the exhibition.
In the French high society, art is essential for life and communication.
As the protagonists of the exhibition, Chen Li'an, who is dressed in black, and Bai Qing, who is dressed in a red dress, will naturally become the focus, and the two are like conjoined babies, and they will be inseparable wherever they go.
Duo artists, how can they be separated?
Chen Li'an's installation has made many people feel novel, and the idea of combining photography art and oil painting art with oil painting on photos is also very innovative.
Although this art form is not as pure as a simple oil painting, it is extremely expressive and impactful.
Even if your sensibility is poor, you can clearly feel the emotions contained in the picture through the installation arranged by Chen Li'an.
Not only did the work feel new to them, but even the group of photographs made them feel different forms of photography.
Hundreds of photographs are reassembled and stitched together into a new work, extending mosaicism and giving new forms of expression to the art of photography.
Several photographers surrounded Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and asked, "How do you define this group of your works?" Mosaic style or pixel style? ”
Chen Li'an and Bai Qing glanced at each other and said with a smile: "No, you can be called extra-dimensional, individual photos are one dimension, but when these photos of the same dimension are rearranged and combined, they become another dimension." ”
This kind of explanation made these people feel novel, and they agreed with Chen Li'an's statement, hundreds of works of different shapes and different contents are recreated through light and shadow to form another dimension.
It's like three thousand small worlds combined into one big world, sublimated in both dimension and theme.
There were a lot of people around Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, and when they heard Chen Li'an's explanation, they all turned their heads to look at those extra-dimensional photos, and the more they looked at them, the more shocked they felt.
It's so big that when you look at it, you'll feel shocked and depressed.
Sophie Marceau, who also received the invitation, was in the crowd, listening to the conversation between Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, and felt that this exhibition had come to the right place.
She didn't really like that group of photographs, her favorite was the group of paintings with the theme of Jiangnan, and she felt feminism from those paintings.
The oppressive environment and the colorful women struggling in the black and white photographs make her feel the struggles of the characters in the paintings, and feel the oppression and constraints of the environment on women.
Sophie Marceau herself is a feminist, and she likes this group of paintings from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time, she is also curious about Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, who created this group of paintings.
Her eyes wandered over Bai Qing, wondering if she was a feminist.
Looking at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing who were talking to others, Sophie Marceau originally wanted to go up and talk, but after hesitating for a moment, she stopped.
It doesn't seem good to exchange feminism on such an occasion, maybe you can wait.
Sophie Marceau turned around and continued to look at the paintings, and in the order of each painting, she had to stand in the installation arranged by Chen Li'an for a long time.
She won't go to the next one until the people in the queue at the back are a little impatient.
It wasn't until she stood in front of the last painting that the emotions that had been stored in her heart instantly swelled, like a shudder from the depths of her soul, and she couldn't help but want to cry out with the characters in the painting.
In the black-and-white photo, the golden sunlight dispels the fog, and the big red figure seems to have broken free from the chains, jumping high to embrace the sun.
Stand up. She succeeded!
Sophie Marceau seems to be able to feel the joy of liberation and the free heart of the characters in the painting.
After stopping in front of the painting for a long time, she calmed down, and couldn't help but turn her head to look for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, and couldn't wait to talk to them.
Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, who had dealt with a lot of people in the exhibition hall, were lazy, and in the inconspicuous corner, Chen Li'an rubbed his sour neck and said, "They are too enthusiastic, are the French like this?" ”
Ji Fa couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, everyone here is full of passion. ”
"I don't want to come tomorrow," Bai Qing was a little uncomfortable with this kind of occasion.
Ji Fa looked at the tiredness in Bai Qing's eyes and said: "Of course, artists should also be mysterious in a timely manner, it's not good to overexpose, take a day off tomorrow." ”
"People and works should be separated, and when the author is more attractive and gets more exposure than the work, his work loses its potential value." Ji Fa explained, looked at Chen Li'an and said: "Artists and stars are different, you should understand this. ”
Chen Li'an nodded and said, "I understand, but I feel like you're trying to persuade me not to be an actor." ”
"Yes, being an actor is not going to help you in any way in your artistic career." Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and said seriously: "Actors will make it impossible for you to ascend to the altar of the art world." ”
After looking for Sophie Marceau, who had just walked over, accidentally heard their conversation, a trace of surprise flashed in her heart, she didn't expect that this artist from China was still an actor, and such an identity blessing instantly made her feel close.
We're all the same kind of people
"The roses are really here." Bai Qing saw Sophie Marceau a few steps away, touched Chen Li'an with his arm and said, "Your favorite star is here." ”
"Huh?" Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, then followed Bai Qing's line of sight, and saw Sophie Marceau walking towards him at a glance, her eyes were very bright under her long golden hair, but her eyes were slightly red.
Sophie Marceau walked up to them, looked at Jifa and said, "It's been a long time since I saw Jifa. ”
Ji Fa turned his head to look at Sophie Marceau and immediately said happily, "Why don't you tell me when you come." ”
"Let me introduce to you, this is Chen Li'an and Bai Qing." Ji Fa pulled Sophie Marceau and introduced, and then pointed to Chen Li'an and said: "He's still your fan, you're his favorite French woman, haha"
Ji Fa's directness made Chen Li'an feel that his toes were about to tear his shoes, what is his favorite French woman! Belch. It's true, but you can't say that!
Hearing Ji Fa's words, Sophie Marceau's face showed a hint of surprise, and the eyes that looked at Chen Li'an were a little unnatural.
Chen Li'an immediately stretched out his hand and said to Sophie Marceau: "Hello, don't get me wrong, I like your movies very much, and Ji Fa likes to joke." ”
Looking at Chen Li'an's outstretched hand, Sophie Marceau shook it lightly and said, "Thank you for liking, I also like your work." ”
Ji Fa couldn't help but say regretfully beside him: "Li'an, you should perform a veneer ceremony according to the French tradition!" You missed an opportunity to be intimate with the Goddess. ”
Chen Li'an: "." Can I say I forgot, do I still have a chance?
Bai Qing looked at Chen Li'an's eyes with a trace of annoyance, and couldn't help but quietly step on him with his feet in high heels.
The pain coming from the surface of his feet instantly made Chen Li'an sober up, and he turned his head to look at Bai Qing.
Bai Qing's thin eyebrows suddenly raised, as if to warn Chen Li'an not to think too beautiful!
Sophie Marceau, who has been observing Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, noticed the small movements between them, and felt that these two might not only be artistic partners.
"Are you a couple or a couple?" Sophie Marceau couldn't help but ask curiously.
"They're just artistic partners." Ji Fa was the first to explain, but he was actually worried that Chen Li'an and Bai Qing's answers would be different, which would be very embarrassing.
Although this answer made Bai Qing a little disappointed, he still nodded in agreement.
Sophie Marceau was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that the two were just artistic partners, but there must be feelings between men and women to create such a good work of art together!
Maybe the world of an artist is different from that of a normal person? Sophie Marso pondered, then asked, "Did you create those paintings together?" ”
"That's right, all the works here are created together, we are close and we are in harmony." Bai Qing spoke first.
A strange thought flashed through Sophie Marceau's mind, an intimate soul union. So why not together? What a strange combination!
Chen Li'an recognized Bai Qing's statement very much, during this period of time, he was indeed close to Bai Qing and could indeed resonate with each other, but this relationship is not the same as love, perhaps Bai Qing himself did not realize it, and subconsciously regarded this relationship as love.
If it were love, the two of them might not be able to create such a work, the magic of love will magnify a lot of things, it will make things better, and it will also make things worse!
Sophie Marceau looked at Bai Qingjiao's beautiful face and couldn't help asking, "Are you leading that group of oil paintings together?" ”
"Most of Li'an's ideas were first put forward by him." Bai Qing did not emphasize her own merits, in her opinion, the two groups of works on display today are led by Chen Li'an, and Chen Li'an could have completed them without her.
Hearing Bai Qing's words, Sophie Marceau was very surprised, a feminist work of art was actually created by a man?
Looking at Sophie Marceau's surprised expression, Ji Fa couldn't help but ask, "You seem surprised?" ”
Sophie Marceau nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought only women would speak up for women." ”
"Women's rights?" Chen Li'an was slightly stunned, and then understood that Sophie Marceau's understanding of the work is feminist and thinks from a woman's point of view.
Sophie Marceau was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't it?" ”
In fact, Chen Li'an's works do not specifically refer to women's rights, and even the characters in the paintings do not show gender distinctions, they are just vague concepts.
If a man looks at it, he will see a man, and if a woman looks at it, he will see a woman, and it all depends on how the individual understands it.
"Of course, everyone sees it differently, what you see is women's rights, and that's women's rights!" Chen Li'an said affirmatively.
Sophie Marceau: "So what exactly? ”
Chen Li'an looked at her beautiful eyes and said: "This is like a collection of empty concepts, there are many interpretations in this collection, everyone sees it differently, and there is no need to worry about what it is." ”
Just like Lu Xun doesn't know what he is writing, it all depends on the interpretation of the Chinese teacher!
The same is true of Chen Li'an's paintings, which you can interpret however you want.
Chen Shuren said that I don't know what I'm drawing. Take your time guessing.
There is another chapter that will be late, so you can get up tomorrow morning and read it.
