In the quiet night, Chen Li'an sat on the balcony of the hotel with the silver lion trophy in his hand.

The hotels in Venice are very stylish, with the turquoise water under the balcony facing the street, and the evening breeze blows with moisture and chill.

Chen Li quietly looked at the little waves on the surface of the water, and suddenly felt that his desire had decreased.

The reason why he felt that his desire was reduced was very simple, that is, he was sitting here looking at the quiet water and suddenly wanted to make a nest and throw a few shots.

Why do you want to fish when you are only in your twenties, Chen Li'an sighed and got up and went back to the house.

The night light was lit in the room, Bai Qing leaned on the head of the bed and looked at the brochure, and when he saw Chen Li'an coming in, he only asked lightly if he wanted to go to the exhibition together tomorrow.

Chen Li'an was not interested, he fell on the bed and smelled the smell of Bai Qing's body and said: "You can go and see it yourself, I will go back to Paris tomorrow, there are too many things to do on this tour, I am too tired." ”

"Then I'm not going either." Bai Qing closed the album, put it aside, pressed the night light and said, "Sleep." ”

The room fell into darkness, and only faint breathing could be heard quietly, and after a while, Chen Li'an's unhappy voice came from the darkness.

"Are you losing interest in me?"

It seemed that he didn't expect Chen Li'an to speak like this, Bai Qing was stunned for a while before saying, "Aren't you tired of shouting?" ”

"You sleep with me in your arms." Chen Li'an's muffled voice sounded.

Bai Qing couldn't help but laugh, turned over and hugged Chen Li'an, patted him on the back and said, "Like a child, sleep, sleep." ”

"Hmm." Chen Li'an snorted with satisfaction, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, the sunlight poured into the room, and Chen Li'an and Bai got up early in the morning to pack their things and left Venice.

During this hurried trip to Venice, Chen Li'an only took away a silver lion award, and many media who wanted to interview Chen Li'an did not find him, and the only thing that could see Chen Li'an was the photo of him winning the award in the newspaper.

On this day, the Venice Gazette spent a lot of space on the award of the Venice Biennale, and this report devoted a lot of space to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an's first film, his first time participating in an international art exhibition, and his first award were all here.

Even taking the Venetian to see this oriental face felt very good, after all, you can often see this guy in the newspaper.

However, the most exciting news in the art world today is the selection of the world's 100 most influential contemporary artists of the year.

Such news comes with a certain amount of controversy, after all, everyone has their own opinion on who can be selected and who is not enough.

However, everyone has no opinion on Chen Li'an, who is the highest-ranked, after all, this time we are talking about influence, and it is difficult to find someone who is more influential than Chen Li'an this year.

Not convinced? If you have the ability, you can also bomb Tokyo.

Chen Li'an won the Silver Lion Award in Venice and was selected as one of the top 100 in the world, and his name has become the most discussed topic in the art circle today.

Even among the young people, many people like people like Chen Li'an, and dashing artists can always make young people admire and like.

During the short two-day trip to Venice, Chen Li'an returned to Paris with honor, and the news of his exhibition in Paris spread quickly.

This is Chen Li'an's third art exhibition, and many people are very interested, and many art collectors who didn't pay attention to Chen Li'an have come to be interested.

Most of Chen Li'an's previous works were in Bernard's pocket, and this time Chen Li'an has carried out again, so naturally many people are interested.

In the Orsay Art Museum in Paris, Chen Li'an and those teachers from China decorate the exhibition hall together, which is quite fun to say, and these teachers are very cute.

I don't want the French staff to touch these works, for fear that they will bump into them.

Chen Li'an was moving a large bottle more than one meter high with a ceramic master at this time, and after placing it, the master carefully checked it before saying: "It took me a few months to get this thing ready, and if it was knocked, I wouldn't be able to cry." ”

"Master Wang, don't worry, I promise to show you, your big bottle is really good." Chen Li'an assured with a smile.

Master Wang said with some smugness: "I have been studying with my father since I was sixteen years old, and it has been decades now, this is my most satisfying work, and now I have the opportunity to open the eyes of these foreigners, I have to look at it carefully." ”

Chen Li'an smiled and chatted with Master Wang for a few more words before going to other things, Master Wang said that he had been doing this for decades, and most of the other masters were like this.

There will be such a thing in a lifetime, some have not even gone to junior high school, and they have been pondering their skills all their lives, and they are definitely craftsmen of great powers!

But it is precisely because of this that Chen Li'an feels that it is a pity, craftsmen are always craftsmen, and there is something missing if he wants to become a master.

Just like the painters' village in Guangzhou, where painters have been copying the works of masters all their lives, and even painting techniques are better than many artists, but they can't paint artworks, so they can only copy them.

Sometimes it's a little bit of inspiration, and a little bit of opportunity.

Chen Li'an looked at them and felt that he was very lucky, and he respected them even more in his heart, they were all amazing people.

The exhibition hall is being arranged, and the publicity on Ji Fa's side has not stopped, if it is just to promote the exhibition in Paris, it doesn't take so much effort, Chen Li'an is still very famous in Paris, after all, he is a man who soaked in French roses.

The name alone can attract a lot of people to join in the fun.

It's just that this is a global tour, and Ji Fa wants to make sure that the first stop in Paris can start, so that everyone can look forward to the other stops in the future.

Ji Fa is very busy, busy looking for someone to publicize, busy hyping Chen Li'an's reputation even more, and at the same time busy popularizing traditional Chinese culture.

Otherwise, how would people know what Chen Li'an's art exhibition is this time.

The collision of modern art and traditional craftsmanship, such a contradictory and abstract thing is indeed fascinating.

In Europe, Chinese traditional culture has always been quite attractive, and now with the modern art they are familiar with, it is very curious.

In fact, this is also the situation that Chen Li'an hopes to see, this kind of large-scale propaganda and popularization of science is also a means to promote traditional culture.

In addition to arranging the exhibition hall in the past two days, Chen Li'an also had to take time to participate in Ji Fa's publicity, and interviews with media and magazines were almost every day.

Everything now is really thanks to Ji Fa, and ordinary managers don't have this ability at all.

Chen Li'an is so busy every day that he can't remember how many media and magazines he has been interviewed in the past four or five days.

However, there are many such busy harvests, and on the day of the exhibition, a lot of people came.

Parisian socialites, art lovers, and many journalists also appeared.

One of the very good things about art exhibitions is that there are not so many people who are sophisticated, exhibitions are exhibitions, and they don't have so many links like movie premieres, and they have to walk the red carpet and so on.

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing were just in the exhibition hall, and after the guests arrived, they made a brief opening introduction.

"My country is a country with a history of 5,000 years, and it has given birth to a lot of brilliant culture and art in the long years, and many cultures and arts may not be in line with the trend of the times today, but today you will see the perfect fusion of modern art and tradition, the collision of ancient skills and modern ideas! You will see a new ancient civilization! ”

After Chen Li'an's words were finished, the exhibition hall immediately burst into warm applause, and then all the mysterious exhibits that were blocked were pulled down and blocked by red.

The artworks that have been precipitated by thousands of years of history and culture and combine modern artistic thinking are all displayed.

The beautiful but strangely shaped porcelain reflects the dazzling light at this time.

The combination of colorful paper-cuts makes the painting seem to be transformed into a three-dimensional painting under the illumination of the light.

The special reed paintings combine the peculiar materials of the reeds into thick paintings like oil paintings.

Colorful and multi-tie-dyed doughs are combined on soft cloth to form a painting of very different styles.

Each piece of art is like a vigorous flower, rooted in traditional craftsmanship to bloom into a new era of flowers.

Many of today's collectors are interested in porcelain, and the porcelain designed by Chen Li'an is very different from traditional Chinese porcelain.

Bernard looked at a piece of porcelain in front of him, and for a while he couldn't find the right adjective to describe it, like a postmodernist sculpture, but the material was porcelain, and this magical feeling was a little difficult for him to understand for a while.

An irregularly twisted curved surface, like a flannel cloth hit by a bullet, the fine cracks on the porcelain are so appropriate, the light on the right side is bright, but with the strange shape, there is a feeling that the treasure has been shattered.

Bernard felt a pity in his heart, and he admired this work very much.

It's just that Master Wang, who was standing next to him, blushed a little, he didn't understand what this thing could do, it was not a vessel or a vessel, and even the cracks on it were forged later.

It's really a shame for the face of our ancestors, we can't get this technology at home, and we haven't made good-looking utensils yet, and we can't understand anything in a mess!

Master Wang sighed slightly, if it weren't for the arrangement of the ministry, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Li'an was a great artist, he wouldn't have made such a thing.

Master Wang was just about to turn around and leave to guard the large bottle more than one meter high that he had made, when he heard the man in the delicate suit say something excitedly.

It's just that Master Wang doesn't understand any foreign languages, and he thinks in his heart that it is probably a curse. If Master Wang could understand, then he would know that Bernard was admiring the beauty of the artwork and asking if it was for sale.

It's just that now there are no people who can be translators, so Master Wang can only shake his head and leave.

The porcelain is beautiful, but what attracts those artists is the paper cut-outs, reed paintings, and tie-dye paintings.

They were amazed that these things could make such beautiful paintings, and felt that the door to a new world had been opened, and although the materials and media of painting had been refreshed again and again in the development of modern art, the paintings made by these traditional crafts were more beautiful and novel.

Layers of paper-cuts, layers of combination to form a three-dimensional painting, under the illumination of light and shadow, as if the light is used as paint, to paint a beautiful oil painting.

Several artists gathered around the paper-cut paintings, and their eyes changed from angle to angle, and they were all stunned.

There are also a lot of people around the tie-dye painting, and there are a lot of people looking at the paintings, but more often than not, they are watching the tie-dye masters on the spot, and they are all waiting in line to try it.

Chen Li'an specially prepared a lot of white T-shirts, which can be experienced by tourists and then taken home as a souvenir.

Of course, there is a fee for these T-shirts, a hundred dollars a piece, and no charge for tie-dyeing!

If you want the master to tie-dye you personally, I'm sorry for a thousand dollars at a time!

When Chen Li'an set this price, several masters of tie-dye still felt that Chen Li'an was too black-hearted, and this thing was done with a few yuan from them.

A hundred dollars for a T-shirt, and a thousand dollars for them to help tie-dye, will anyone experience it? It's not like a loser can do it.

It's just that Chen Li'an was very insistent at the time, and said that their technology was cheaper for a hundred dollars.

Now seeing so many people queuing, those masters suddenly feel that Chen Li'an is still conservative, these foreigners are so rich and so stupid, they should have a little money!

Young man, how can you be so young and brave, you should charge more money!

Several masters feel as if they have missed hundreds of millions, you must know that they also have a share of this money.

When the heartache of several masters missed hundreds of millions and shocked foreigners to be stupid and have a lot of money, Chen Li'an was discussing reed painting with several European artists in front of a reed painting.

Reed painting is actually a non-traditional material painting, but the material is really special and has strong limitations, the creative space is not very large, and there are many places that are constrained by the material.

Chen Li'an pointed to one of the reed paintings and said: "In traditional reed painting, the color is very simple, that is, the true color of the reed, and it is more to express the oriental freehand, but I think the texture of the reed is very similar to the texture of the oil painting, so I use the reed to create such a realistic style painting." ”

The artists around looked at the reed painting, turned their heads to look at Chen Li'an, and wanted to ask him, so you made a self-portrait? And added a mustache to yourself, looking so sexy?

Chen Li'an was a little embarrassed by their eyes, coughed and said: "Let's go and see something else, another water lily is also good, the reed becomes a water lily, a very interesting deformation." ”

Click~click~

The reporters in the exhibition hall recorded the scene with their cameras, and then turned their heads to photograph other works and guests.

The works brought by Chen Li'an this time really let these people see a different oriental culture!

Chen Li'an never disappoints, and he will play new tricks every time.

It has also brought a lot of whimsical ideas to many artists, and perhaps in the future, we will see more and more modern art containing oriental elements.
