Luo Nai invited Shen Li to come over this time. Firstly, he really wanted to invite her to see the painting, and secondly, he wanted to get in touch with her relationship with other members of the association, so it was directly organized as a small private party.
Shen Li understood what he meant, felt grateful in her heart, and nodded slightly:
"thank you."
She really liked Lornay's paintings.
Most of Launay's well-known paintings were exhibited in the previous touring exhibitions, but most of the works collected here are his works that have never been released to the public.
This is really a rare and precious opportunity to visit.
Luo Nai didn't seem to want to put too much pressure on her, so he talked with her for a while, and then went to entertain other guests.
The entire gallery is very quiet, occasionally some low voices can be heard, and the atmosphere is very good.
Shen Li felt that the whole person relaxed.
Those strong or cold colors, the entanglement of lines, and the interlacing of light and shadow can always soothe all her turbulent moods.
"It seems that you really like Mr. Launet's paintings."
Lu Huaiyu, who was standing beside her, looked at her for a while and said with a smile.
Shen Li nodded:
"Second brother doesn't like it?"
After all, Luo Nai is an internationally renowned oil painting master, and Lu Huaiyu also likes to collect oil paintings. She originally thought that he should like it.
However, from the last art exhibition and today's visit to the private gallery, she could tell that Lu Huaiyu didn't seem to be very interested in Luo Nai's paintings.
Of course, this is also normal.
Preferences are extremely personal.
"I can't say whether I like it or not."
Lu Huai and faintly smiled,
"Mr. Launai's level is beyond doubt, but to me, it's just a painting."
Shen Li was stunned.
— Just a painting
This really doesn't seem like a painting that Lu Huaihe would say out of his mouth, after all...he has so many oil paintings in his collection.
If Mr. Launay's work is "just a painting" to him...
"Then, what about mine?"
Shen Li asked subconsciously.
She didn't quite understand what Lu Huaiyu meant.
He took so many pictures of her.
Lu Huai paused.
Her painting, to him, is of course not just a painting.
"your-"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden exclamation from the side.
"Luonai, why haven't you seen this painting before? It's amazing!"
This sound was heard very clearly in the quiet gallery, Lu Huai and the voice stopped, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Shen Li also turned her head to look over, and saw a middle-aged man with long brown hair standing in front of a painting, with a hint of excitement on his face.
The painting hangs at the end of this corridor, the location is a bit remote, but it can be seen clearly from here.
When she saw the painting, Shen Li was stunned.
Luo Nai was chatting with another guest elsewhere, but when he heard this, he walked over.
After approaching, his eyes fell on the painting, and he shook his head with a smile:
"Ella, this is not my drawing."
"What? It's not your painting?" The man called Ella looked surprised, "Then why is it hanging here?"
Lornay explained:
"This is my collection. I really like it, so I hang it here together."
In his private gallery, most of them are Launay's own works, and only a few are other people's paintings.
But beside those paintings, the artist will be marked, but there is nothing next to this painting, so Ella will default that it is Luo Nai's work.
"Then..." Ella hesitated.
As if seeing his thoughts, Luo Nai shrugged and said helplessly:
"The reason why there is no label is because I don't know who the painter of this painting is."
As soon as these words came out, not only Ella, but also several people around her looked over.
Obviously, everyone was very surprised by this.
"You don't even know the painter, so you keep it here?"
Luo Nai is very concerned about his private gallery, and those that can be placed here by him are the classic works of everyone in the industry.
Only this one has no painter, and the source is unknown.
It can be seen that Luo Nai really likes it.
"Yes." Luo Nai nodded, looked at the painting with emotion, "This is a painting I got by accident a few years ago, and I thought of a lot of ways to find out who painted it, but I couldn't find it." Nothing was found."
It can be seen that he himself regrets this incident.
"So it's like this... That's really a pity." Ella sighed, "I also said that this painting is somewhat similar to your usual style, but the concept and painting method are different. It is very novel... It turned out to be someone else's painting."
Several other people also nodded one after another.
Among other things, this painting is really brilliant.
The straight fir trees stand tall and meet the mirror-clear lake, and the vague reflection blurs the boundary, as if they were one.
In the distance is a cold white sky, and the trees on both sides are also stained with a gloomy gray-black-blue tone. However, the color becomes warmer as it gets closer to the middle, and gradually becomes a flame-like orange-red. Finally, at the very center, it is even more It is as white as a touch of snow.
The lines of the fir trees are filled with color blocks, overlapping each other, making them indistinguishable at all, but the overall outline is sharp and cold, heading straight into the sky.
The water pattern was very light, but it disturbed the cold and hard breath, making it blurred and ambiguous.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a ball of flames bursting out of the surging clear cold water. The water and fire blend, and the cold and heat collide. Even if it is still, it seems to be burning in the bottom of the heart. The extreme sharp beauty is vividly displayed.
"Luonai, I really like this painting. I wonder if you can give it to me? The price is up to you."
Ella said sincerely.
He took a fancy to this painting at a glance. Although the artist was not Luo Nai, it didn't affect him.
He just wants to collect.
Luo Nai declined with a smile:
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Ella, I have no intention of reselling this painting."
None of the people here are short of money, not to mention that he himself cherishes this painting very much, so how could he agree to Ella's proposal.
Although he was smiling and his tone was gentle, everyone present could hear his persistence.
Ella looked disappointed, but this kind of thing is not easy to force.
"Okay. But... the artist of this painting, do you really not know anything about it? It stands to reason that the painting is so good, it shouldn't be anonymous..."
If you can find someone to buy other paintings, that would be a solution.
Luo Nai pondered for a moment, and said:
"If I really want to say... On the back of this painting, there is a string of letters: MGYUB. Unfortunately, I don't know until now—"
"Mr. Loney."
A low and lazy man's voice suddenly sounded.
Luo Nai turned back: "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Huaiyu's eyes fell on the painting, and he smiled slightly:
"I'm also very interested in this painting, and I hope Mr. Launay can give it up."
