"This painting was prepared by him for the Singapore Biennale"
Mrs. Sakai compared the draft of Gu Weijing's painting in her mind and suddenly realized, "It's a clever choice, quite good." Idea."
It is a very smart way to use this painting style to impact the Lion City Art Exhibition.
Mrs. Sakai's face remained calm, and she secretly glanced at Gu Weijing in her heart.
"You also want to participate in the exhibition"
"Mom, I want to give it a try. Didn't you also say that Singapore is a good stage to show yourself this year."
Sakai Katsuko looked at her mother's face and said tentatively.
"It is true that it is a good stage, but the competition is unprecedentedly fierce. Time is too tight now. Didn't we agree to participate in the Yokohama Triennale late next year?"
Mrs. Sakai glanced at her daughter's longing face.
She revealed Miss Katsuko’s little thoughts casually, “Why, the reason why you suddenly changed your mind is that you were thinking of debuting with your sweetheart, and you thought it was very romantic, right?”
"Mom, there is no conflict between the two art exhibitions in Shicheng and Yokohama."
Sakai Katsuko is a little shy.
"There is no conflict, but the results you achieved in your first real debut are of different meanings."
"Singapore Art Exhibition, what can your father do?" The help is limited. Let me ask you, Shengzi, if you were asked to submit an anonymous submission to the organizing committee to participate in the selection this year, do you think you would be able to conquer the judges' critical vision and get a professional group booth based solely on your own ability? "
Mrs. Sakai did not directly deny her daughter's idea, but thought for a moment and asked.
Sakai Katsuko hesitated slightly.
She looked at her mother's questioning eyes, and she wanted to nod and promise that she could do it.
But Sakai Katsuko hesitated for a long time.
She carefully judged her painting level, and finally whispered, "In fact, I am not very confident about this session. . I think if you can’t participate in the master group, it’s not bad to participate in the amateur student group under 28 years old.”
“Well, it’s pretty fair.”
p>An unassuming answer to my daughter.
On the contrary, Mrs. Sakai nodded with satisfaction, "If you come here and promise me that you will definitely be able to participate in the exhibition, I will definitely not agree to your request."
"If my daughter is carried away by love and loses even basic self-knowledge, I will be really disappointed."
"In this case, you should also listen to your mother's opinion. "How is it?"
The middle-aged woman asked.
Sakai Katsuko nodded obediently.
"You want to participate in an exhibition with Gu Weijing. In principle, I have no objection. It must be a very sweet memory to make your debut at the same art exhibition with your sweetheart. I support you."< /p>
Mrs. Sakai's tone was gentle, but the meaning behind her words became much harsher. "But Katsuko, you told me039 that you should give it a try. The amateur student group is actually not bad. This mentality is not right." ."
"You are Katsuko Sakai, the daughter of Kazunari Sakai, one of the top ten artists in Japanese history. Since she was a child, she has been hailed by the media as a once-in-a-century painting genius. I look forward to your works and achievements. What others see as excellent is just mediocre to you."
"Your goal cannot be just 039, you can accept 039, and your mentality when participating in art exhibitions is not the same. You should just give it a try."
"Katsuko."
The lady took her daughter's hand.
“My daughter is destined to have a dazzling career with sparks and lightning, letting the world’s artistic spotlight shine on yourself. The student group of the Lion City Art Exhibition, or the Yokohama Triennale There is no need for my mother to say which one is better for you in the master group."
Sakai Katsuko remained silent.
Winning a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail is not valid in an art exhibition.
The student group is the student group, and the master group is the master group.
No matter how beautiful the chicken head is, it is still a grass chicken, but the phoenix tail is the feathers of a divine bird.
No matter how lively the students’ submissions are, they can only dominate among monkeys.
Your evaluation in the eyes of the world is still "an excellent child", and at most you can add that you have a promising future.
But the master group,
is an adult world where real professional painters compete with each other, and it is the peak arena for artists.
All professional artists need a stage where they can prove their abilities.
Collectors and the public also need an intuitive and convincing standard to judge the artistic and aesthetic value of a painter's work.
To put it in a more utilitarian and naked way, art buyers need to determine how much the work signed with your name is worth.
Before the 20th century, this stage was the official salon in Paris. After the 20th century, it became the master group of various modern art exhibitions.
The most colorful pages in the biographies of great artists such as Gustav Klimt, Dali, Damien Hirst, and Yayoi Kusama almost all took place at the Venice Biennale. on, competing for the Golden Lion Award.
Winning an award at a top art biennale is a milestone achievement in the life of every well-known artist.
Since then, his net worth has undergone a dramatic transformation.
Before participating in the exhibition, you were just an ordinary painter. After participating in the exhibition, you became one of the masters.
Just being able to participate in the competition is a very dazzling qualification in itself, and it is an affirmation of the artistic value contained in your works.
Even if it is just a small contestant who gets a small booth in the corner of the main exhibition hall of the master group.
The traffic and attention he received cannot be matched by the champion of the student group.
Katsuko Sakai can indeed participate in the Singapore Art Exhibition this year and then the Yokohama Triennale next year.
It’s just that the meaning is completely different.
The achievements achieved by the first official appearance of your career means that you have laid the first anchor position in the hearts of galleries and collectors.
The higher you are, the smoother your career will be.
Katsuko Sakai has won various young artist awards since she was a child, and she has won many awards. She has a promising future and does not need a student group competition record to prove herself.
She knows that
What she really needs is to prove to the gallery that she is a mature artist rather than an outstanding child.
"Katsuko, the decision of whether you can participate or not should be in your own hands, not mine."
Mrs. Sakai shrugged, "There are still some days left until the Lion City Art Exhibition. It will take less than half a year. You can sign up first. If you can come up with a work that is convincing enough to make me and your father feel that you are ready, then of course you can participate in the exhibition. ”
< p>She flicked her daughter's forehead.“I don’t object to your idea of participating in the Lion City Art Exhibition. I have never dreamed that my daughter would be able to shine like a queen on the stage in Singapore this year. I object to it. It’s just that you have to compete without being prepared.”
Sakai Katsuko had to admit that what her mother said did make sense.
"Be prepared. If I draw a work that makes you feel that it will definitely pass the audition of the professional category of the jury, you will let me participate, right?"
The girl asked after thinking.
"Of course it can be understood that way. I hope to see you paint a painting that is full of emotion and touches people's hearts."
Mrs. Sakai thought for a while and proposed her own Suggestion: "Katsuko, your painting skills are not bad. However, if you want to stand out among professional painters, you should let your brushstrokes sink and create more profound works."
"The brush is the carrier of the artist's emotions. You must learn to let your works speak for themselves." Mrs. Sakai said.
"This is actually difficult"
Sakai Katsuko tilted her head.
There are only more than a hundred days left before the deadline for soliciting submissions for the art exhibition.
Learning to integrate emotions into pictures is no easier than improving your painting skills.
"This will definitely not be easy." Mrs. Sakai did not rush. "The goal is there. If you think it can't be achieved, we will wait for another year. You are still very young."
"But Mom, I think I have some feelings. Today I saw Gu Weijing painting, and I felt a miraculous vitality."
Sakai Katsuko lowered her eyelashes and spoke in a tone of voice But he was very determined, “Maybe I can really do it.Maybe it will arrive. "
She looked at Gu Weijing's copying of Carroll's paintings today and felt that there was a miraculous fire burning in his brushwork.
The moment Gu Weijing finished the painting,
p>
She seemed to see light, shadow and thunderstorm flowing from the canvas into the surrounding air. For a moment, she really believed that this was a miracle given by the female painter Carol in the kingdom of heaven.
This shock made Katsuko Sakai feel like she had been hit in the heart.
The blockage that had always separated her works from the real world was revealed. < /p>
Especially when she boldly took Gu Weijing's hand, she felt that her whole body was filled with a wonderful sense of happiness, and her chest was filled with desires that she had never expressed before.
< p>This desire for expression is called love.“At that time, if I had a paintbrush in my hand, I would be able to paint works full of emotion. "
As Sakai Katsuko was thinking about it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Come on, lovers can teach us to love the world more deeply. I'm looking forward to the surprises my family's Katsuko will bring me. "
Mrs. Sakai did not reveal her criticism of Gu Weijing this time, "You can discuss this feeling with that young man more. If the person you love can be your muse. Not only can it bring you happiness, but it can also help your career. Then you are a very lucky girl and a very lucky painter. ”
Muse is the goddess in charge of art and music in ancient Greek mythology.
In the European art circle,
When every painter feels When their creative inspiration is inspired and their skills are divinely assisted, they often describe themselves as being blessed and kissed by the muse.
There are even painters who pray to the muse before painting, something like "God." Bless you, God is above you.”
At the same time, muse also specifically refers to heterosexual lovers in the circle who can inspire the painter’s lust and creative enthusiasm. In other words, to put it bluntly, Refers to female models.
In the collection of letters left by painters such as Picasso, Rubens, and Klimt, all those who mention "my muse" are women who have just been in a relationship.
Of course,
According to convention, only the new girls who have just been caught have this honor and are called the "muse" who inspires their creations.
As for married wives or tired old lovers,
According to the style of people like Picasso, they are usually described as "loose witches" or "eating demons"
“Love should make both parties as dazzling as a peacock in full bloom, striving to show the best of themselves to each other, and it should not become a hindrance to your life plans. "
Mrs. Sakai gave Gu Weijing a rare compliment, "For example, I think that guy wants this painting style to impact the Singapore Art Exhibition.Just be well prepared. ”
“You don’t want to be overshadowed by your sweetheart if you participate in an exhibition together, right? "
Sakai Katsuko nodded.
"By the way, there is one last thing I want to talk to you about today. Katsuko is a big girl. "
Mrs. Sakai rarely hesitated for a few seconds, and then took out a small black box with gold letters from her pocket.
"This is what I requested from the front desk of the hotel. of. I think it's up to me, the mother, to give it to you. "
"Hmm"
Sakai Katsuko hesitated for a moment, looking at the golden English letters of Durex's trademark on the small black box, as well as the product category logo of S condoms.
She stayed there for two seconds.
Then her pupils dilated, her eyes were panicked, and she didn’t know where to place her hands on her chest. The rouge color spread from her white porcelain cheeks. It appeared on the body and spread rapidly towards the neck and behind the ears.
Almost instantly, Sakai Katsuko looked like a shy deer, and her earlobes were red and bleeding. Come.
“Mom, you’re making fun of me. "
She lowered her head, "If you keep doing this, I will ignore you. "
"Shengzi, don't be shy, this is a very serious matter. ”
Mrs. Sakai took her daughter’s hand and said softly, “When a pure girl like you fell in love for the first time, she focused solely on boys.” The love is so intense that I want to give everything to the other person."
"Mom"
Katsuko was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to jump out of bed and run away.
"Katsuko. "
Mrs. Sakai gently hugged her daughter from behind, "Discussing this kind of thing with you, I feel no less embarrassed than you do. "
"But it's not up to me, a mother, to tell you this kind of thing. Who can tell you? It's a mother's responsibility, so I must make it clear today, and you must listen carefully. ”
“You have to listen carefully to what I am going to say and think about it, okay?”
The middle-aged woman gently hugged Miss Katsuko’s already plump shoulders. Curve, whispered in her ear.
Sakai Katsuko was still terribly shy, but she nodded slightly.
“You know I come from a traditional Catholic family. , requiring observance of the Ten Commandments and prohibiting premarital sex. But I didn't ask you to be religious. ”
“To be honest, mom, I don’t really follow this teaching. ”
Mrs. Sakai snorted softly, “However, I hope that if Shengzi really wants to stay with Gu Weijing for a long time, I suggest that even if you feel that you like each other again, the first time The first kiss, the first night, should be given more slowly and more reservedly.
