Almighty painter

Chapter 492 The Destiny of Victory

Cui Xuanyou's heart went up and down when he heard this.

The man imagined the future outlined in Cui Xiaoming's mouth.

My hands and feet were trembling with excitement because of this, and I couldn't help myself.

Yes - it doesn't matter if the other party is the person chosen by Cao Xuan, it doesn't matter if he is Kazunari Sakai's son-in-law, and he is destined to have a bright future.

His achievements are more valuable.

His own son will become more valuable.

A person only needs to be awesome once in his life on the most critical occasion.

Liu Bang lost all his life and became the king of the world after only being awesome once.

The mound under the Gai is the stage chosen by God for him to achieve the ultimate achievement in his life.

There is not much time left before the exhibition opens.

"At least at this point, this Gu Weijing seems very smart."

On the plus side, it also means that the drawing manuscripts from the other party have been finalized.

The pattern was completely lost.

As for his son, he has already begun to think ambitiously, stepping on the other person's shoulders and ascending to the sky.

In just two months, she did not believe that Gu Weijing would undergo any radical changes.

the difference is.

Cui Xuanyou really feels old.

Then.

The organizing committee often only awards awards to the best ones. It is almost impossible for two highly homogeneous works to win awards.

What they hold in their hands is almost equivalent to the final version that will be included in the Singapore Biennale...

"You will win, son. There is an advantage to participating in the Singapore Biennale. Compared with the Berlin Biennale, it matches your painting temperament better and is a natural complement to each other."

But to squeeze out the "award-winning quota" that might have belonged to Gu Weijing - she was very sure about this.

It is not an opponent sent by God, but a step that God sends straight up.

If it were not a single art exhibition in a specific field such as the "Impressionist Theme Biennale".

Half the battle is won.

Yes, this is a God-sent match.

And his son can also be the shadow that hangs over Gu Weijing's career path. He only needs to pin each other to the ground in the battle for their debut at the art exhibition in the second half of the year.

Therefore, the real enemy is when the same person collides with each other.

The Singapore Biennale is the stage where the Chu-Han conflict is staged between the son and his rival.

Got this photo.

From the very beginning, this was a one-way, transparent and unfair battle.

The woman's tone was confident.

For a painter, getting the opponent's entry in advance is like knowing what answer the opponent is going to write before entering the examination room.

On the downside, they didn't have enough time to prepare.

Leonie clasped her hands.

Can Cui Xiaoming win the gold and silver medals at this year's Singapore Biennale?

The first battle is the decisive battle.

"So what if you only have a hundred days to prepare? Even if you don't prepare anything, just picking two paintings from your studio will still be enough for you."

Faced with the situation of more wolves and less meat.

All they need to do is win this game and firmly establish themselves on this ladder.

Copying the answers will definitely not work.

He just hoped that on his son's career path, he could knock off a major competitor who might profit from his market resources in the future.

"You don't even have to win the most important gold award, you just need to use your own style and advantages to knock Gu Weijing out of this year's Best Newcomer Award or Best Creative Award."

It's as easy as taking an elevator.

This will be the first and last battle between the two men.

Leonie wasn't completely sure.

Then wait for the stairs under your feet to rise automatically.

Come across similar themes, similar styles.

Today's art exhibitions are all about a gathering of hundreds of artists, and all painting techniques are exposed to the rain and dew, and all must be taken care of.

He doesn't need to win everyone, he just needs to draw better than "The Orphanage of Good Luck in the Sun", which is enough to make the final decision.

Brainless 1:1, copying the same content, that's not being clever, that's just being a fool.

This kind of art exhibition requires the submission of detailed creative background materials.

But copying paintings is always copying inspiration.

The most awesome painting copying is one that is completely different from the other person’s painting in terms of specific content, but can crush you with a similar spirit and core.

This is the most legendary way of "borrowing" in Picasso's life, and it is also the essence of his famous saying - "Good painters imitate, great painters steal".

Even if you don’t have Picasso’s skills.

They can use each other's works as a basis to make targeted articles and improvements on the "answers" submitted by themselves.

There are also a lot of them.

From Leonie's perspective, she and her husband worked together to teach Cui Xiaoming from childhood.

The resolution of the photo taken from this painting is not very high.

But she could also get a general idea of ​​the doorway.

This painting was a periodic report that Professor Lin Tao shared with the teacher group and showed to Mr. Cao after Gu Weijing discovered the new style of body painting.

At that time.

Gu Weijing's three techniques of oil painting, traditional Chinese painting and sketching have not yet broken through to the second level of his profession.

Leonie feels that the biggest highlight of this painting is the compositional inspiration.

And the creative style of using traditional Chinese painting as the body and oil painting as the flesh.

The technique is definitely excellent and mature.

But - this excellence is for an 18-year-old, not for the Singapore Biennale.

Look at the entire group of participating painters.

This level of skill may not be that outstanding.

At least it's not as good as her son Cui Xiaoming's painting skills, which he has practiced for more than 20 years.

Inspiration can be borrowed easily, and the technique is more advantageous.

The only thing that cannot be learned in a short period of time is Gu Weijing's painting route with Lang Shining as the main subject.

Both sides are a combination of East and West, and both combine elements of traditional Chinese painting and oil painting.

The goal is the same,

Choosing the path to get started is different.

Gu Weijing's painting style is based on traditional Chinese painting and oil painting.

Both elements maintain their original characteristics, being separated from each other at a certain level and overlapping each other above and below.

Similar to making lasagna.

Cui Xiaoming's painting style is more similar to Wu Guanzhong.

What he did was completely break with the traditional Eastern and Western painting methods, like mixing corn flour, buckwheat flour and wheat flour and directly kneading them into multi-grain high-gluten flour dumpling wrappers.

Don’t limit yourself by painting area.

No distinction is made between oil painting and traditional Chinese painting.

Instead, he uses the most basic painting elements such as points, lines, and surfaces, as well as black, white, gray, red, yellow, and green, as units, and attempts to blend them into his own "fusion painting" without restraint. "Painting style.

The two painting methods have something in common at their core.

They can learn from each other, but they are not exactly the same.

Even with Cui Xiaoming's ability, it would not be easy to change to Gu Weijing's fusion route in a short period of time.

But the words came out again.

Why should we change it?

Forcibly leaning towards the other party is just trying to imitate others.

Penny wise and pound-foolish. The only painting style that cannot be imitated is actually the trump card that Leonie is confident that Cui Xiaoming will win in this contest.

On the maturity of style and the expressiveness of color.

On the coexistence and harmony of different painting elements on a piece of paper, the dissolution of the inevitable sense of fragmentation caused by the collision of cultures from different regions.

The new body painting route that Lang Shining has spent a lifetime studying is better, further and more expressive than Cui Xiaoming's current style.

however.

In the eyes of the organizing committee, the most critical element that determines whether a work can win an award is whether the painting is mature and whether the expression is outstanding?
No.

no.

Of course, it is very, very important to draw "good" and "beautiful" paintings.

But it's not the most important.

Any art exhibition.

As long as it is a serious organizing committee, then when considering the evaluation and evaluation of the works.

There is one standard that must be inherently the highest priority.

It is higher than looking beautiful, higher than whether the painting method is mature, and even higher than the painter's technique itself - that is originality.

Originality is the order of the day in any art and design related industry.

The greatest achievement an artist can achieve in his life is to establish a sect and establish his own artistic style.

From the perspective of the development of art history.

The first Picasso is worth a thousand dollars, and the second Picasso is worthless.

To participate in an ordinary art exhibition, the content of the painting itself must be original.

In the industry, painting copying has taken off.

Everyone says that there is a lot of art in the world, it depends on whether you can copy it or not.

But the prerequisite is that you don’t copy the painting nakedly.

Even if you are copying the painting, at least you won't be caught by others finding evidence.

It doesn’t matter if you borrow some graphic elements.

At the Zhen Yao Art Exhibition, two paintings appeared with the contents of the pictures copied and pasted.

That's the fate of life and death.

If you cannot prove that you are the original one, you will leave a huge disgraceful stain.

The creative schedule and work description materials submitted when participating in the exhibition are used for this purpose.

On top of the basic threshold of whether the content of the picture is original - whether the painting style is original, this requirement is really too high.

In terms of art exhibitions, it is impossible to require that every participating painter should be a super master who pioneered art, such as Picasso, Monet, and Seurat.

Even the top Venice Biennale.

The organizing committee hopes that the exhibited works will have eye-catching highlights in style, but it cannot expect all artists to create their own artistic style.

Then not many people can participate in the exhibition.

At Gu Weijing's age, when participating in art exhibitions, he would not consider the originality of techniques at all.

Even the harsh Cao Xuan.

When I saw the painting "Lucky Orphanage in the Sunshine", the old lady laughed and scolded her as "cheating and sneaking, without any intention", which was just a joke that was not meant seriously.

Mr. Cao said that it was okay, but in his heart he praised Gu Weijing more for "studying Lang Shining and figuring out the way. It's not easy."

But this is a small "flaw" that cannot be taken seriously, and no one will criticize it harshly. Even if I participate in a thousand art exhibitions normally, no judge will really think there is anything wrong with it.

But once he bumped into Cui Xiaoming.

It will become a fatal flaw that is Althias' heel, and may even be completely irremediable.

Of course, Cui Xiaoming is still far away from establishing a sect in the true sense, but he has at least tried to take his own steps.

Whether there are one or two signs of taking a step forward is the essential difference.

Not to mention that my son’s painting skills are more solid.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if Cui Xiaoming is at a disadvantage in terms of technique, so what.

No matter how immature Cui Xiaoming's fusion style is, it is still Cui Xiaoming's own thing.

No matter how regular and precise Gu Weijing's painting style is, it is still the work of Castiglione.

Lang Shining was second and Cui Xiaoming was first.

A personal idea on technique.

No one.

Unless the expressive power of the picture can widen a very large gap in rank that is visible to the naked eye, otherwise, the organizing committee will evaluate the two pictures based on the promotion of innovative blood.

It is natural and right to cast a vote in favor of Cui Xiaoming.

When high imitations meet originals, they have to give way.

otherwise.

Leonie will definitely overturn the table, curse and throw accusations in front of the media. There is something shady about it.

Even with the indifferent character of a woman, she almost wanted to laugh when she thought of this.

This leaked picture really helped a lot.

It is clear that the content of the other party's work is original, but my son can use it as a reference to make a targeted response, taking the essence and discarding the dross.

However, it is impossible to be caught plagiarizing.

As for the style of the work, the other party's "originality" would be the last straw for him.

The world is a dark place of humor.

Then Leonie really laughed suddenly and covered her mouth with laughter.

A simple text message can have such an earth-shaking effect.

"You have ten thousand reasons to win, but he can't even think of a possibility of winning. If you say this is not God's will, I don't believe it."

Maybe this Gu Weijing is a genius.

Maybe the other person's painting skills will one day surpass his own son's.

Maybe one day in the future, he will be able to draw his own ideas based on Castiglione's work.

Maybe this day will come very soon, ten years, or even five years.

But that was not the Singapore Biennale a few months later.

He wouldn't have a chance to win it back.

that's enough.

The other party's resources will become Cui Xiaoming's resources, and the other party's height will also become the height under Cui Xiaoming's feet.

If I win you once, I can stick with you for the rest of my life.

"Don't be careless. He is very powerful. Mom, during this period, I want to live in a church. You are a member of the Berlin Association for the Protection of Ancient Art. Can you arrange for me to live in the Berlin Cathedral?"

Cui Xiaoming didn't smile.

"Do you want to pray? You need me..."

Leonie said it was God's will, but she was stunned when she heard her son's request.

"No, Cai Feng."

"The background of his work is a church, and the theme of my work is also a church. The more similar the styles, the less likely we are to win at the same time."

"Mom and Dad, I have a hunch that this is the most critical competition in my life. So I seriously ask you to help me. Let's not affect Gu Weijing's preparation for the exhibition. His resources are very strong. The art between the two of us The dispute should be resolved the way artists do, so as not to leave any further trouble and prevent those behind him from gossiping. "

"Don't harm him."

"But other than that, you have to help me, beg, invite, ask people to contact me, and contact the media for me. For this Singapore Biennale, do everything you can and do everything we can as a family. All the resources we have will put me on the podium. This kind of return on investment may not happen twice in my life. Of course, we have to bet the last coin in our pocket."

"You are right. In order to win, I will pray if necessary, whether it is to God or Buddha."

"Success is like dominoes. I just need to push the first piece of jade to victory. The rest, my dear Gu Weijing will help me complete everything under the chain reaction. Whether he is willing or not, it is destined. "

Cui Xiaoming pushed his fingertips under the dominoes in front of him.

clang!
Dang, Dang, Dang...

As the first domino fell, with the clanging sound of flowing water, the fallen dominoes spread like wild wildfire to all the piles in front of them.

Until the last jade tablet more than ten meters away collapsed under the load.

The colorful jade tablets tilted and blended into a pool.

"Behold, this is the magic of destiny."
