"It's a good picture!"

Professor Kazunari Sakai took a big sip of celery juice, his fat chin swayed, his big belly swayed, and his whole body swayed in waves, looking like a big balloon filled with water.

Uncle was like a balloon filled with water just now, and he had enough momentum in his chest.

When you are ready to open, you have to say some fierce and sharp accusations.

Professor Sakai wanted to tell the young man that he might be able to pick up a paper on Asian Art by virtue of his good fortune.

Art exhibitions are a completely different story.

Painters, critics, scholars, curators are all important parts of the art community.

There are certain industry commonalities, but there are also many differences.

Of course, the painter who publishes a heavyweight paper part-time is very dazzling, very domineering and cool, and the improvement of social status is very obvious, and it is also convenient for the promotion of the gallery and the tenure of the Academy of Fine Arts, and even when critics want to spray him in the future, they will also consider their words to some extent.

Estimate whether your authority in the academic world is high.

Of course, these tangible benefits are too numerous to count.

Otherwise, the two of them, why do they have nothing to do and rack their brains to arrange a paper for their daughter.

But there can be no mistake.

It's the same as sports stars crossing over to participate in variety shows.

These are the icing on the cake, and they are a series of multipliers that follow the main business to make them more valuable and famous.

The works of the pen are the most tangible things, and they are the main business. Art exhibitions are the most opportunistic battlefield for artists.

Gu Weijing can pick up a paper by AHCI and pick up a precious 19th-century impressionist work.

But he certainly can't just rely on his luck and connections to pick up an award at the Singapore Art Fair.

The history of uncle's fame is a handful of bitter tears.

Kazunari Sakai almost lost his life before he got a chance to participate in the London Art Fair, and the painting that made him famous was really old.

100% of the effort can be exchanged for such a return.

Sakai Issei felt that he had an obligation to let this little guy know that there was still a considerable gap between Gu Weijing and a strong, excellent and talented strange man who was rare in the world at the beginning.

"Little ghost, do you still want to win awards at this level? I've seen your work, and I can only score 40 to 50 points for the creative 85 points, but for the painting effect, I may only score 40 to 50 points. What does this mean? It means that with a little luck, some juries like your painting and will even put you on the shortlist for the award. If you're a little unlucky, you can't see it, this is a failing painting! You may even be eliminated at the audition. ”

"Oh, you have to pin all your future and destiny on illusory luck!"

"I'll admit that the story you told Katsuko about apples is interesting, but maybe a rotten apple is cute in color, but your current drawing ability is only a few highlights. Have you ever put your mind down to paint? Uncle, I used to hold myself in the studio for a week in order to paint, and I didn't even take a shower except for eating rice balls. Today's young people no longer have the roots and perseverance of me. ”

"No matter how tempting the reward offered by Mars Gallery is, you can't get it, you can't catch it, and the rest is only regret."

Uncle Sakai's mouth was wide open, and his saliva was brewing.

When the words come to the mouth, what is said becomes something with a different style of painting.

"This pen is very neat, the combination of long and short strokes is calm and orderly, praise it."

"The combination of paints is also a thumbs up. The single-layer paint painting method, which is similar to the impasto method, can express such a variety of colors, which can be regarded as a careful use. ”

"Well, Katsuko zoomed in on the top half of the canvas that was in focus...... Is the transition between the forest and the sky space not weakened? Landscapes with clear edges are more suitable for larger themes such as the Hudson River School of Watercolor, and with the exception of the landscapes of Raisfeld and Daniel Garber, who like to use clear lines, I have the impression that landscape painters seem to prefer romantic and soft transitional edges in the mainstream aesthetic of modern times. ”

"That's right, Professor Sakai. Here, I want to leave the transitions to the end with my fingers to create a more unique and smooth pigment texture. ”

"Finger smearing, I want to think about it...... Grunt...... It's interesting, great. ”

"It was Miss Katsuko's suggestion."

"Katsuko? Oh oh oh, big praise. My daughter is amazing. ”

"The improvement in penmanship is really obvious, and it looks like I've really worked hard. By the way, do you have any good ways to train pen proficiency, let Katsuko push it to me, and I'll see if I can start a class in the studio. ”

"Hmm...... Some of them are practiced by themselves, and some of them feel as if they fell from the sky out of thin air. ”

"In this way, that is the coexistence of hard work and understanding, yes, it's pretty good."

The bald physicist was also beside him, pricking up his ears and listening playfully.

Even in the history of Japan's Central Academy of Fine Arts, a super famous school, Tama Art University, Professor Sakai Issei's value is quite rare, and he will not really teach in school.

Only a few lucky students have the opportunity to enter Professor Sakai's personal studio.

The coach was very curious about what this kind of top painter was like when he taught his students on a daily basis.

After listening to it, the bald head suddenly felt in his heart.

Art students are indeed fundamentally different from sports students.

Mr. Sakai's tone was so fierce just now, but he didn't expect to teach people, but he was actually a fat man who was quite gentle and easy to talk.

The gentle fat man Kazunari Sakai held his mobile phone in one hand and celery juice in the other, and he also felt that the way of "father's kindness and filial piety" at this moment was a little strange.

I obviously wanted to criticize this kid and let him lick me pitifully.

Grandma's.

It seems to be the other way around.

Uncle Sakai felt a little sad in his heart.

Gu Weijing's painting method is too mature, and his painting skills are also supermodels at his age.

After the works on the easel entered the camera, it pierced his chest like a needle, and all the feelings that he had been brewing for a long time were vented.

Young people nowadays are so scary.

At this age, he can paint like this, and even Sakai feels that it would be a bit too much to spray him again.

"Dad, is Gu Jun painting very well?" Miss Sakai chuckled.

Love me, love my dog.

Seeing that even the father of a great artist praised her boyfriend's painting level like this, Katsuko Sakai naturally had no reason not to be happy.

"Hmm." Kazunari Sakai snorted.

"Professor, do you think my work can already win an award at the Singapore Art Fair?"

Gu Weijing put down the paintbrush, carefully rubbed his fingers on the edge of the transition between cold and warm colors, kept moving his hands, and asked casually.

He can roughly estimate what kind of works he can use through calligraphy and painting appraisal to meet the criteria for shortlisting for the art exhibition.

But when it comes to the subjective judgment of awards.

It must be Katsuko's father's rich experience and experience to grasp more accurately.

Uncle Sakai's coffee position is no lower than the curator he met on Mr. Sloth's lecture show, Curator Tonks.

Not to mention.

In the first two years, Kazunari Sakai really served as the chairman of the organizing committee of the Yokohama Art Exhibition, as well as a judge of the overseas group of the Magic City and Singapore Art Biennale.

There are many international art exhibitions on one continent, and there are only a few professors from top art schools and top artists.

I can sell the total amount of the work for 100 million dollars.

It can be said that almost most of the local art exhibitions will send them invitations, but whether they have time or not, whether they are willing to be judges, depends on their own intentions.

This year, because his biological daughter is going to participate in the exhibition, Professor Sakai Kazunari is probably going to avoid suspicion.

"Well, the texture of your fingers can be a little more flexible, since you deliberately use your fingers instead of oil brushes, you just want to have that flexible and romantic touch......"

Kazunari Sakai in the camera commanded first.

He finally caught the place where Gu Weijing was still relatively childish and unskilled, and maintained his dignity as a teacher, so he touched his belly and thought about it.

"Fifty percent?"

Before Sakai made a video call, he thought that Gu Weijing could have a chance of winning about one and a half to two percent, so he was very optimistic.

Let's put it mildly.

The real gold, silver and bronze main prizes are too fiercely competitive, so he shouldn't think about it.

In Uncle Sakai's heart, Gu Weijing had a total chance to touch those two awards at the art exhibition in August this year.

One is the Best Art Creativity Award at the Lion City Art Fair, and the other is the UBS New Artist Award.

Name implies.

The former is the award given to the judges for the most refreshing artistic creativity in the entire Biennale.

It can be an innovation in art theory or an innovation in painting methods.

Historically, most of the works that have won this award have been bizarre, including nebulae made up of broken pixels, which are intended to oppose mainstream culture, to oppose falsehood and kitsch.

There are also those who simply break away from traditional oil painting.

There are alternative fusion paintings made by collage of various painting elements such as paper-cutting, board painting, and watercolor, and there are even plastic arts that combine three-dimensional space.

Ms. Anya of Zaohe Space made a name for herself by relying on her mixed painting method of finger painting and knife painting, and won such artistic and creative awards at several art exhibitions in Europe in her early years.

In principle, this award does not evaluate the artist's traditional painting techniques such as line, color, and structure.

Only the artistic creativity of the exhibited works is discussed, and the advantage is that the threshold is low.

Very friendly to young artists.

It should be the easiest award to get at the entire art show.

The disadvantage is that Gu Weijing still follows the painting path of classical art with heavy techniques.

In this kind of award, there will be a large number of cross-professional competition for modern art and avant-garde art.

In terms of the novelty of the pursuit of painting methods, it is obvious that people are more professional and more compatible.

In addition, almost all art creativity awards follow one principle.

It is as low as the lower limit of the difficulty of winning this kind of award, and how high the upper limit is.

The luck component is huge.

Can there be a "this?" I'm going to go, even this thing can win the award, the relationship of the organizing committee, shady? I can do it too. ”

You can say "This! I'm going to go! It didn't even win the grand prize! The organizing committee is crazy, shady? I'm a painter and I'm already crying in the toilet! ”

There really are historical years with less competition.

One lucky person won the Turner Prize, the highest award in the British art world, with two minimalist incandescent lamps, "He Lights Going on and Off 2000", and has since reached the pinnacle of his life.

The cost of materials for the exhibition is less than ten pounds.

There will also be tragic cases such as Hirst, who spent tens of millions of pounds to create huge and grand bronze sculptures, but found nothing and had to sour to the BBC documentary director, "Huh, not giving me an award is a loss for the Venice Biennale".

The more important the art exhibition, the less you know what kind of ghosts, snakes, gods, demons and monsters are competing with you.

I don't know how much money people spend on organizing the exhibition.

It's easy to see a bunch of contestants sneering at the easel there.

Suddenly, this time, the lord who was not bad for money held back a big move, and a "bang" of the divine palm fell from the sky and flattened everyone.

The winner of the Best Creativity Award at the last Lion City Biennale was an Australian art team that exhibited a conceptual work called "Black and White Dreams".

When the lights are turned on and off, the whole space alternates between lighting and darkness, and the spectrum of different wavelengths is sprinkled on the frame, which can reveal different paintings, and finally these paintings can be connected to form a complete story.

It has moved from art in the traditional sense to the field of playing with optics and chemistry.

Just customizing these paints cost the gallery behind him hundreds of thousands of dollars in subsidies, and an art exhibition meets such a master.

Gu Weijing's painting is very hanging.

It's not that the traditional way of painting isn't competitive. Art ExhibitionArt Exhibition, no matter how the organizing committee says, does not pay attention to painting techniques.

But you're good enough to draw to a certain extent.

So I'm not afraid of any kind of opponent I face.

However, as soon as the bonus points of fusion painting creativity are neutralized, the difficulty of winning the award will immediately skyrocket.

I picked this award because it was easy to get.

If you want to spell down the "Best Art Creativity Award" with pure hard work, it is better to ponder whether you can get a serious 800 bronze award, which is more cost-effective.

Considering the degree of attention received by the Lion City Art Exhibition, the evaluation of "one and a half" is already to give Gu Weijing face.

Another more valuable award is the Best Newcomer Award sponsored by UBS Consortium.

UBS is one of the world's largest wealth trusts, sponsoring concerts, art exhibitions and sporting events every year.

In the second half of the year, UBS was one of the main sponsors of two of the Lion City's biggest cultural events, the First Ocean Race in Singapore and the Art Biennale.

All contestants under the age of 35 will compete for this one prize.

and a personal sponsorship contract from UBS.
