Participating in exhibitions
It is always a must for any painter.
A painter, at least a relatively successful painter, can never live without the market and the recognition of others.
Van Gogh's life cannot be called happiness.
If you ask Van Gogh’s acquaintances during his lifetime to comment on the Van Gogh they knew, it would be difficult to associate that crazy and down-and-out painter with a great painter.
Of course, real masters may not care about this.
But we use ordinary people’s worldview to measure it. Success and fame, and being sought after by thousands of people must be everyone’s life expectation.
Even if it is not vulgar to equate art with market price.
This sense of gain and satisfaction of being recognized by others and appreciated by the audience is irreplaceable for all beauties.
The Biennale is an art form that can make painters famous.
As the name suggests, "biennia" is an art exhibition held every two years.
Internationally, many biennales are hosted by cities or even countries, spending a lot of money and holding them regularly.
It is not only a grand event in the art world, but also an important activity to enhance the country's image and the city's status. Like the Olympic Games and the F1 Grand Prix, it is an art business card of the city to the outside world.
Whether or not he wins an award, being able to participate in any category of any international art biennale is a life milestone worth remembering forever for a painter.
To evaluate whether a painter's work is valuable, a very important rigid criterion is whether he has participated in art exhibitions.
Art exhibitions can be divided into individual exhibitions belonging to a single artist, and themed unit exhibitions that everyone can participate in.
The Biennial Art Exhibition is the most awesome category of the latter.
It is much better to participate in a serious international biennale than to open a small personal art exhibition in an unknown place.
Almost all well-known contemporary painters with a net worth of hundreds of millions have won awards at various biennials. As long as you can participate in a well-known biennale, your paintings will have certain collection value. This standard is used everywhere on the five continents.
The Singapore Lion City Biennale,
Although it is not as good as those old exhibitions in Europe that have a history of hundreds of years, it is also a very important exhibition in Asia in recent years.
He is as famous as the Yokohama Triennale in Japan and the Biennale in Shanghai. Many of his award-winning works have sold for millions of dollars.
Each Art Biennale has a special curator and a special theme. The exhibition is basically divided into two categories: "Master Professional Group" and "Amateur Group". Each category is divided into one and two. , third prize.
The amateur group is just called the amateur group, but it is not a work for ordinary painting amateurs.
It is not amateur at all, on the contrary, it is already very difficult to participate.It's scary.
The amateur group is sometimes called the student group or the young artist group.
Those who can participate in this group are generally outstanding students from major art academies and outstanding young artists under the age of 28.
In the student days, only the most outstanding art students could get the opportunity to participate in the amateur group.
For prestigious schools such as Tsinghua University and CAFA, which have many opportunities for international cooperation, the Lion City Biennale will not allocate more than one or two places to them.
Mr. Cao calls Gu Weijing a young genius, but every young painter who can participate in the student group is a young genius.
This is like the imperial examination in ancient times. A young scholar who won the exam is already a famous child prodigy from all over the country. Unfortunately, if he wants to be an official and participate in an art exhibition, there will be government examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations. When you pass a level, you will encounter someone who is not only a genius, but also an opponent who is even more talented.
Ogaaiticica, a 57-year-old late-blooming famous painter, is a contract artist of the French gallery artdeedre. Last year, a work sold for US$6.9 million.
This kind of painter still failed in the campus selection when he was a junior at the Ecole Internationale des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. As a result, he was not allowed to participate in the student group of the Paris Art Biennale at that time. He still did not care about it until he became famous. Worried about it.
In the Gu family’s calligraphy and painting shop on the Yangon River, the biggest sale made in the past few years was a student group work that participated in the Fabrust Biennale.
The theme of that exhibition was drama. In terms of scale and popularity, it was far inferior to the Biennale in the Lion City. It was only the least influential category of biennales.
The oil painting of the clown inspired by Gotham clown actor Heath Ledger was finally sold for US$22,700, which is already a huge sum for a small gallery like theirs. business.
Professor Lin Tao believes that if you take into account your age and level and polish your skills, by the time you are a junior or senior year, you may have the opportunity to be able to participate in a large-scale exhibition such as the Lion City Art Exhibition. work.
If he could be lucky enough to win the second or third prize in the amateur category, even he, a teacher, would be proud of himself.
As for the more difficult master group, it is already the domain of professional painters.
"Oh, let's forget it."
Lin Tao shook his head.
For a seventeen-year-old painter to win an award in the master category, even if it is a competition, the level of shock may not be much less than that of the closed disciple that Mr. Cao wants to accept.
That is, only a master like Mr. Cao, who becomes more childish as he gets older, can say such things.
For a child like Gu Weijing to participate in the Lion City Art Exhibition and win an award, if an ordinary person said such overestimating his abilities, he would laugh out loud.
Professor Lin Tao was a little worried that the teacher would first give Gu Weijing unrealistic fantasies and hopes, and then cruelly crush those hopes with an unattainable request.see.
This approach may hurt Gu Weijing’s confidence and energy in his painting career.
He turned his head and comforted Gu Weijing warmly.
"Xiao Gu, Mr. Cao is motivating you. When the time comes, just come to my studio with peace of mind and don't think too much. Although I am not comparable to the teacher, But it’s also a big sign when you put it out. Children of ordinary wealthy businessmen pay tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to ask me for advice, but I’m not happy with it.”
“Alas”
Lin Tao turned around and realized.
Gu Weijing was not frustrated because Mr. Cao made an embarrassing request that seemed to ask him to climb into the sky and pick off the moon.
He looked at Mr. Cao, seeming to be thinking about something.

If you want to participate in the International Art Biennale, your current panel will definitely be useless. It is the most basic to reach a professional level or above. , and not only the sketch basics must reach v4.
Chinese painting and even oil painting must reach the professional level of v4.
“No, if you want to win the award, maybe v4 is not enough, but higher.”
In addition, inspiration and knowledge that fit the theme of the art exhibition are also essential.
Considering the latest registration time for the exhibition, I only have a few months to prepare.
This is difficult, but with the help of the Paint Panel, it's not necessarily impossible.
Gu Weijing was not discouraged at this time.
After seeing Mr. Cao’s extraordinary skills, he not only looked forward to learning painting from him, but also had an urge to go to the outside world and compete with real masters.
"How about it, Mr. Gu, are you confident?"
Mr. Cao looked at Gu Weijing thinking intently and asked with interest.
"I don't know about confidence, but I want to give it a try."
Gu Weijing raised his head, his eyes bright and scary.
"Okay, the boy I like should have such drive and ambition to compete with God."
Mr. Cao laughed and stretched out his hand, "Gu Weijing, I I’m waiting for you to kowtow and become my master.”
“I’m determined to clap my hands.”
Under the sun, one old and one young. Clapping the palms together made a crisp sound.
Lin Tao felt helpless when he saw this scene.
