"Oh, hello, Ms. Detective Cat, nice to meet you."
The assistant girl had a formal polite smile on her face, "Can you be in the video of the big internet celebrity Mr. Hyperion?" , it is a high honor to receive the same rating as a giant in the illustration industry.”
Her words are impeccable.
Although the assistant girl doesn’t like Detective Cat, it’s purely for job reasons, not because she has any objections to the internet celebrity painter himself.
Besides, she is Director Tonks’ art assistant.
It is very unprofessional behavior to offend other painters because of your personal preferences.
"I know Mr. Tonks is the international independent curator of the Singapore Art Exhibition, and Ms. Detective Cat is very interested in the Singapore Art Exhibition, so"
Anna's words Halfway through, the blond assistant shook his head secretly in his mind.
They are all smart people,
She can understand Mr. Sloth's request for a "special guest artist" spot for Detective Cat.
As Tonks' assistant,
The blonde girl has seen too many such requests.
The curator of an international art exhibition is like the director of a Hollywood A-level commercial film that invests billions. Naturally, there are various agencies that want to insert their actors.
A large-scale art exhibition is divided into two channels: specially invited painters and contributing painters.
Specially invited painters can be invited by the curator or the organizing committee and directly shortlisted for the main exhibition of the art exhibition, skipping the audition stage.
Being a specially invited artist is a recognized honor in itself.
Basically, those who can receive this honor are internationally renowned traditional artists, painters represented by some first-tier galleries, and fixed quotas allocated to top art schools.
The blonde girl is the art assistant of Curator Tonks. Of course, she also has the power to recommend special painters.
But in the eyes of the assistant girl, Internet celebrity illustrators like Detective Cat cannot meet this standard in terms of qualifications and reputation.
"Oh, Ms. Detective Cat, this is great. Participating in this kind of international art biennale is a milestone for any worker in the painting industry."
The blond assistant laughed at the detective cat Toad for wanting to eat swan meat, but he still had a polite smile on his face.
“The Singapore Art Exhibition welcomes submissions from international painters. I can send you the theme and submission website for this year’s competition. If there is a need to participate, any painter can submit his work to the organizing committee.” Assistant girl Pretending not to understand what Anna meant, he did Tai Chi smoothly.
"Can she get a place as a special guest at the exhibition? As you know, Detective Cat is very popular on the Internet."
Mr. Sloth asked.
"I'm sorry, the Singapore Art Exhibition is a professional international art exhibition and may not be suitable for animation painters like Ms. Detective Cat."
The assistant girl declined implicitly.
If it was a normal matter and someone rejected her, Anna would not speak again.
But Detective Cat is different.
“Detective Cat’s sketching level is really good. Even if you only give her a chance to try out the draft, can you be a better painter? opportunity, isn’t this the meaning of the existence of a special guest artist?”
Anna’s sincere request.
The list of specially invited painters also includes some less famous painters.
The original meaning of this "special invitation" model is to give curators the opportunity to discover pearl artists who have been buried in the sea of sand.
The most classic example should be Mr. Fumio Nanjo, a Japanese curator.
When he was planning the Venice Art Exhibition in 1991, he uniquely discovered Cai Guoqiang, an Eastern Xia artist who was not very famous at the time.
In the next thirty years, Mr. Cai became the most famous master of pyrotechnics and stage art in the world.
Dozens of famous art exhibitions and museums such as the Venice Biennale, Kassel Biennale, Center Pompadour, etc. now collect his works.
He is also the recipient of the National Medal of Arts and the John D. Rockefeller III Medal.
The Qatari government invited Mr. Cai to design the Pompeii Memorial Exhibition in Italy, the Winter Olympics in Beijing, and even the fireworks display at the World Cup in Qatar.
Nanjo Fumio has also become one of the world's most well-known international curators.
This is a typical case of curators and artists achieving mutual success.
But the reason why this example is classic is that it is indeed rare.
The opportunity to be appreciated by a curator is rare, but even fewer artists can seize the opportunity.
Many times, the ending for some unknown little artists is to let each other down.
This has led to the fact that these small painters who participate in exhibitions as specially invited painters are basically "special figures" left to the organizers to tell stories and to be used by the news media to write newsletters.
A black man in Brooklyn realizes his artistic dream by delivering newspapers by bicycle, becoming another example of pursuing the American dream, etc.
Hello, hello, hello to everyone.
In the painting circle, as in all literary and art circles in the past ten years, stacking buffs to tell stories is always useful.
No matter how the work is,
at least there is news to write about, and it also demonstrates the organizer’s concept of equal rights.
According to the evaluation criteria of the assistant girl.
The identity of Detective Cat, an online illustrator who takes orders on Fiverr, is not a plus but a minus when it comes to storytelling.
Online illustrators are a mixed bag,
especially the many part-timers on Fiverr. The biggest impression given to the art judges is that they are ominous and unprofessional.
Public impression is not veryOkay,
Sometimes these painters will also make erotic and bloody borderlines.
The assistant girl saw a news not long ago. Scotland Yard police detectives raided and arrested two artists who took orders for erotic illustrations on Fiverr last week.
Europe and the United States have a very high tolerance for artistic nudity, but the erotic works commissioned by these two painters involve children, which has exceeded the bottom line of public morality.
Basically starting out It's a felony.
“This is not a question of whether the painting is good or not. Being a specially invited artist is a right. Every specially invited artist should be an extension of the exhibition planner’s concept of the exhibition. The risks of an online illustrator are uncontrollable. . Ms. Detective Cat, let me ask you if you have any experience in participating in large art exhibitions in the past."
The blonde girl asked knowingly.
"No." Gu Weijing shook his head.
"Have you ever held a personal art exhibition?"
"No."
"Have you graduated from a top art academy and signed a contract with a large gallery?" Assistant girl Pressing harder and harder.
“No.”
“So you are just an Internet painter, don’t be angry, but for any invited painter in a professional art exhibition, we need to make sure that he or she has enough Aesthetic creativity to understand art trends and artistic core. This is related to the reputation of art exhibitions. Similarly, art exhibitions require originality, which is not suitable for online cartoonists like you."
"Otherwise, You can use your strengths and try to participate in some online animation illustration competitions and other Singapore art exhibitions. Of course, no offense, I still like your paintings."
The assistant girl suggested with a smile.
It is six o'clock in the evening London time.
Director Tonks walked into his study.
He is in his early fifties, has a bald head common to British men, and has a bit of a belly.
"Good evening, Mr. Sloth, Ms. Cat. Wow, I really should give myself a code name, for example, Mr. Tiger, we just have a cat zoo."< /p>
He sat in front of the computer, shook his stomach, and started with a common British joke. Then he laughed to himself.
Old British men are famous internationally for their love of telling dirty jokes and cold jokes that no one understands.
Curator Tonks is a standard old British man.
While recording a podcast, he naturally cannot tell dirty jokes, but he doesn’t mind showing off his sense of humor in public.
The online chat room fell into a brief silence.
"Sloths are not cats, they seem to be giant sloths." Gu Weijing replied doubtfully.
He didn’t understand the point of the joke at all.
Anna did realize that Director Tonks was telling a joke, but she had a cold personality and was not interested in flattering herself.The smelly feet of an old British man.
"Director Tonks, can we start recording the podcast?"
Anna asked.
"Okay, let's get started. By the way, the part just now will be cut after the salon recording is completed."
Tonks waved her hand.
Mr. Curator is a little unhappy.
He is in a high position, and no matter whether a joke is funny or not, at least there will be many people who will support it.
For example, Goldilocks, as a personal assistant, is an expert in this field.
If she had stayed in the study at this time, she would have laughed so hard that her branches were trembling with laughter, and she would have given her a few words of flattery at the right time.
"Hello, listeners. Welcome to this special art salon program. Our invited guests in this issue are Mr. Micah Tonks, co-director of the Taylor National Gallery in the UK, and the famous illustrator Ms. Detective Cat, you can find the kenote files about our five works in this episode on Apple Podcasts or Mr. Sloth’s art review. It is recommended that you listen to them in conjunction with the painting files.”
Anna followed the usual practice and read. After finishing the oral broadcast, we officially entered the theme of the salon.
"Director Tonks, everyone in the audience knows that you are a senior art curator who knows a lot about art. For these works that fans of this show have submitted, it would be better for you to be the first to do so. Let’s talk about your favorite paintings.”
Anna took the lead in sending an invitation to Director Tonks.
After learning that Detective Cat’s best oil painting was knife painting, she really had no confidence in Detective Cat’s aesthetic ability.
It is an unmistakable choice to let Director Tonks talk about his views on the five works.
Not only was Tonks the most senior guest among the three of them, but also with his foundation, even if Detective Cat didn't understand art, he wouldn't be too wrong.
"Let Ms. Detective Cat say it first. Compared to me, I think many viewers are more curious about this recently famous internet celebrity illustrator."
Curator Tonks curled his lips,
He had no ill intentions towards Detective Cat. As a senior curator, he could tell the quality of Gu Weijing's sketch illustration at a glance.
The painting is indeed outstanding,
otherwise I would not have agreed to record a podcast with Detective Cat.
But as Van Dorn said, whether you can draw and whether you have artistic accomplishment are two closely related but completely different fields.
Trained monkeys can also play the piano.
He originally didn't mind chatting for a few words, but since he was unhappy now, he didn't mind making things difficult for the other party.
"How about I talk first?" Anna was not at ease.
"It's okay, let me tell you first. It's just a way to spark some ideas. If there are any shortcomings, please ask the two seniors to point out."
Gu Weijing is not afraid.
He instead wanted to try his calligraphy and painting skillsCompared with the vision of these experts who have been immersed in the art criticism industry for many years, there is a big gap.
"My favorite work is this oil painting called White Lake Baikal."
Gu Weijing swiped the IAD screen next to him and called up a landscape painting.
The title of the work is Lake Baikal in White
Drawing Technique v5 Professional Painter Level 2
Oil Painting Technique v6 Professional Painter Level 3
Simple mood
"Hmm"
A layman can see the fun, but an expert can see the door.
Sometimes you can judge whether a person understands painting or not by listening to the first words the other person says.
Both Curator Tonks and Anna, when Gu Weijing said these words, they all sighed softly in their hearts.
It’s just that one person is surprised and the other person is pleasantly surprised.
"I thought you would like the sketch of the horseman."
Anna said softly, "Like me, you think this white Lake Baikal is the most beautiful painting." Okay?"
They all thought that Detective Cat would start with the sketch of a man riding a horse.
She has already demonstrated her skills as an outstanding sketch artist.
Relatively speaking, it is definitely the easiest to evaluate sketches.
Admittedly, Anna also feels that purely from a professional painting perspective, this white Lake Baikal is the best.
But art is a subjective opinion.
I just like sketching, so there is no problem.
It was for this reason that Anna specially added an extra sketch to the four works originally selected by Tonks to avoid the dilemma of Detective Cat having nothing to say.
"That painting is not bad, but the composition and lines are still different from this white Lake Baikal."
Gu Weijing replied.
White Lake Baikal is the only one among the five paintings that has reached the third level of professional painter in the system rating.
Even if we compare the lines and shapes alone, they are not inferior to the picture of the horseman.
"Why is this painting good? What is so good about this painting?"
Director Tonks became slightly serious.
He looked at the virtual avatar of Detective Cat, as if he was taking an exam for an art college student visiting an art museum.
It’s good to feel beauty.
But if you can really explain why, you can be called excellent.
"You might as well tell the audience what you think of this painting. I think the author of this painting should also be listening to your comments by then."
"The author of this painting has a little bit of Impressionism in his painting method. He depicts Lake Baikal in winter by depicting strong and subtle changes in light and shadow, and capturing the fleeting color style. He chose a good scene. He uses nature to set off the beauty.Breeding color with light"
"We can see the initial position of the picture. The painter should start from the upper right corner of the picture to compose the picture and use a fast direct painting method to paint"
"Sunshine The light falling on the grass and leaves, as well as the changes in the sky and water are all faithfully reflected in the painting."
"The painter uses jagged shapes and sharp brushstrokes to imply that this is a The small warm color spots on the left side of the bitterly cold winter day make the effect of the cold background more intense."
Gu Weijing began to talk about his impressions of this white Lake Baikal.
The large number of details provided by the Painting and Calligraphy Appraisal Institute gave him a very comprehensive understanding of the painting.
I have never seen pigs running before eating pork.
The painting technique also has the shadow of Impressionism. After appreciating the two painters Renoir and Carroll, I asked him to evaluate this oil painting.
It is like a student who has just completed the college entrance examination, even if he has passed the college entrance examination. I did a terrible job on the exam, but it was still very easy to do a sixth-grade elementary school math question.
At first, Director Tonks and Anna would interrupt Gu Weijing's words.

Afterwards, everything gradually became quiet.
The only voice left in the entire online conference room was Gu Weijing's speech-like voice.
The next two guests were shocked when they heard it. Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website can be read for free without anti-theft
