"The work of shadows..."
Qiu Yu was stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which almost broke her perception of the cartoonist.
In fact.
This painting breaks everyone's perception of shadows.
Many people were dissatisfied when they saw Shadow's name on the bulletin board at the entrance.
Why should a commercial cartoonist's work be included in such a professional Chinese painting exhibition
However.
When seeing this painting of Butterfly in Love with Flowers, many people's faces started to turn red.
No one expected that Shadow's Chinese painting skills had reached a professional level, even higher than many professional Chinese painting teachers!
Luo Cheng didn't expect this either.
However, Luo Cheng is one of the great names in the Chinese painting world after all. Although a trace of shame and anger flashed through his heart, he quickly adjusted his mood.
Inside the silent exhibition hall.
Luo Cheng spoke again: "It is rare for a cartoonist to have such a level of Chinese painting. Unfortunately, although this painting is beautiful, it still lacks a touch of charm. The standard for judging the quality of a painting is not just how realistic it is. Otherwise, taking a photo would be enough. What would we painters do? This is probably the regret brought about by his identity as a cartoonist..."
Luo Cheng didn't intend to change his words.
The painting is indeed not flawless, as he said.
In terms of the realm of painting, it is still a little short of the top level.
For a while.
Everyone seemed to take Luo Cheng's words as the golden rule, and followed suit to ease the awkwardness of the situation:
"that is!"
"Teacher Luo Cheng said it well!"
"This painting is not perfect."
"It's just that the excellence of this painting is highlighted because the other works in this exhibition are not so good."
"If we really compare ourselves to those masters of Chinese painting, there is still a big gap."
"After all, this is the comics industry. Although there is some level, it is limited to this."
“This is determined by the structure of the comics industry itself.”
"In addition to the similarity of objects, Chinese painting also pursues artistic conception. Yingzi's works lack that artistic conception, which is what Mr. Luo Cheng said is the charm!"
"… "
Hearing what Luo Cheng and the other onlookers said, Qiu Yu frowned:
"Are Mr. Luo's requirements for Shadow too high?"
This is a medium-sized art exhibition.
The quality and level of Dielianhua have already crushed the entire audience.
Luo Cheng insisted on judging by the master-level painting standards!
Yes.
Qiu Yu admitted that Luo Cheng's words made sense.
But the problem is that what Luo Cheng said is a criterion for judging top-level Chinese paintings.
However, if we use the top painting standards of a master, this Butterfly in Love with Flowers is indeed not that stunning.
But the problem is:
Is it necessary to set the standards so high for an art exhibition of this scale
If judged by the standards of top-level Chinese paintings, an exhibition of this scale is doomed to be a complete failure.
However, too much is as bad as too little.
"Just telling the truth."
Luo Cheng spoke, knowing deep down that he was asking too much, but he just didn't like this shadow.
If this was not Butterfly Loves Flowers or Shadow's work, he would have praised the author of this painting and even promoted him.
If it's a shadow...
It's not enough.
Such works and such level are not enough for his daughter to praise him so much or even regard him as a teacher!
Having said that.
Luo Cheng still looked at the painting a few more times, and the intensity of his attention and the length of time he paused at it far exceeded that of Yu Lian's painting.
Qiu Yu raised his eyebrows and stared at the screen again to appreciate it without saying anything more.
Although she didn't know the relationship between Luo Cheng's daughter and Shadow, she had a certain understanding of the situation in front of her.
It is nothing more than the inherent prejudice of traditional painters and Chinese painting enthusiasts against cartoonists.
"Commercial painter."
“I don’t understand art.”
"You stink of money."
When it comes to cartoonists, some traditional painters are always so disdainful, so much so that even though this Butterfly in Love with Flowers is obviously very well drawn, everyone is still unwilling to easily acknowledge the excellence of this painting.
This scene is a microcosm of the formation of the industry's contempt chain.
Ultimately, the problem lies in Shadow's identity as a cartoonist.
And in this slightly weird atmosphere.
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Qiu Yu's ears:
"Sorry, Xiaoyu, there was a traffic jam on the road and I'm late."
Qiu Yu smiled and turned to look at the person who came: "I thought Sister Zheng had stood me up."
"How could that be?"
The visitor spoke, looked behind Qiu Yu, and said happily: "It's quite lively."
"It's Teacher Zheng Jing!"
Someone recognized the woman who greeted Qiu Yu.
The crowd suddenly became lively.
Zheng Jing, a "Qu Dad"-level figure in the music world, is definitely a number one celebrity. I didn't expect that today at this exhibition, not only could I meet two great names in the world of traditional Chinese painting, but I also met a "Qu Dad" in the music world!
That's right.
The person who came was Zheng Jing.
Zheng Jing invited Qiu Yu to visit this art exhibition.
Luo Cheng turned around and said, "Teacher Zheng Jing, is that the friend that Teacher Qiu mentioned?"
"Yes, Mr. Luo Cheng."
"I know."
Zheng Jing smiled and greeted Luo Cheng, then turned to look at the butterfly love flower on the wall and said in surprise:
“This painting is so beautiful!”
Qiu Yu smiled and said, "Sister Zheng, there's no need to keep me in suspense. You specially invited me to the exhibition, didn't you just want me to see this painting?"
“No.”
Zheng Jing shook her head: "Although this painting is good, the paintings I want you to see are definitely not comparable to this one."
Zheng Jing said with great confidence!
Qiu Yu was stunned. Isn’t this the one
Luo Cheng was also full of surprise. Could there be a better work than "Dielianhua" in this exhibition
As if he thought of something.
Luo Cheng's smile suddenly blossomed, and he said enthusiastically:
"Can you please ask Teacher Zheng Jing to lead the way? I am very interested in the painting you mentioned."
"good."
Zheng Jing said readily.
The crowd following behind widened their eyes and became excited!
Many people were originally upset because Shadow's "Dielianhua" dominated the whole show, but suddenly when they heard Zheng Jing say that there was another work that was even better than "Dielianhua", everyone was of course happy!
And in the distance.
Luo Wei frowned slightly.
Is there any better work than the teacher's in this exhibition
She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
It would be unfair if a teacher's work was surpassed by others.
Luo Wei knew it.
The teacher did not paint this painting of Butterfly Lovers seriously at all, and it cannot represent the teacher's true level!
She even wanted to bring the "Six Shrimps Painting" from home!
But it's obvious.
She couldn't take out the "Six Shrimps Picture" easily.
Many students of Qinzhou Art College recognized that painting and knew it was Lin Yuan's work. Once it was made public, the identity of Teacher Shadow would be easily exposed.
The mood became complicated.
Luo Wei followed the large group of people led by Zheng Jing and walked forward.
that's all.
A group of people walked through seven or eight paintings and finally stopped in front of one work.
This is a Chinese painting with the theme of "horse"!
