Professor Amada scrolled the screen of his phone in surprise.
It was a set of oil paintings on easels taken from different angles. The paintings had just been completed, and Riki Amada could even read the fresh smell of the paint that had not yet solidified through the lens.
The painting method is quite ancient.
He is so old that he seems to have stepped out of the frozen history displayed in an art museum.
Vigorous and far-reaching.
"No new body painting? I believe what you said, this really shouldn't be Miss Katsuko's work."
Amada Riki also looked at the painting on the screen, and then looked at it again A glance at Uncle Sakai next to him.
“It’s not anything else, it’s just that it’s too rare. It draws on the form of fine brushwork and heavy color, and uses the mutual influence of environmental colors to create rich tonal levels, allowing the paint to maintain relative authenticity.”

“Without a deep understanding and enthusiasm for Eastern Xia art, it would probably be extremely difficult for me to choose such a challenging painting method that combines Chinese and Western heavy colors with line drawing. In my impression, Gui Qianjin prefers It's more about traditional oil painting."
This guy has such a discerning eye
Even Sakai Kazunari was shocked.
Even as an expert in curatorial direction, he imagined what the other party should say.
Unexpectedly, this senior Yutian, as a strong man who came over, could explain Gu Weijing's painting skills in just a few words.
This is really too professional
When Issei Sakai first saw Gu Weijing’s works, he didn’t even think of Castiglione in his first reaction.
He only roughly understood many professional terms after searching online.
Sakai Kazunari has always felt that he has quite a reserve of knowledge.
Did he invisibly not only increase the average weight of Tama’s tenured professors, but also lower their average educational level?
The fat uncle touched his belly and became seriously worried , should I consider making up extra classes or something?
"Haha, Sakai-san, it's not how powerful I am anymore. You may not know that this was even one of my professions for a time."
Amada Riki also looked at it Looking at Professor Sakai, he said happily. "What a coincidence."
"Your university"
"I'm not afraid of others laughing at me. I studied Japanese painting in Vienna for my PhD. As you know from this major, I originally went to school. The ranking is high, it’s easy to get a diploma after graduation.”
Amada Rikiya said frankly, “But, I later got the teaching position at Tama, and when I wanted to be evaluated as an associate professor, I had to work hard to do some research. The research topic is the Qing court painters of the Eastern Xia Dynasty.”
The art of the Eastern Xia has long had a specific group of people and markets overseas, and its vitality has never been cut off.
Especially when Rikiya Amada was in school, there was a certain enthusiasm for studying oriental art in the academic world.
Journals are eager to receive submissions like this.
Famous experts such as Huang Binhong are all overseas experts.He specializes in research and regularly holds seminars in places like New York.
Even topics like "Mountains in Chinese Painting" and "Water in Chinese Painting" are so boundless that even a three-million-word paper may not be able to explain them clearly.
Nowadays, if a graduate student in the Department of Art History engages in such a broad topic selection, there is a high probability that his or her instructor will directly take him back.
Even if you are chosen, it will take five to ten years as a unit, and you need to do a lot of voluminous literature to produce a mature and excellent paper.
In the 1970s and 1980s, well-known scholars could publish a review of several thousand words overseas in journals on the scale of Asian Art.
The topic of his project that year was to study the changes in painting techniques of court painters in the Qing Dynasty.
As the most famous painter in the Qing Dynasty, he was also a representative figure of the spread of Western France to the East.
Lang Shining’s painting method must be the top priority of research.
"Awesome, this kid has earned the guidance of Senior Yutian."
Everyone carried the sedan chair.
The atmosphere was heightened here, and Uncle Sakai didn’t mind giving it a thumbs up with a smile.
“Speaking of greatness, it’s not that I am great, but that this painting is great. What I just said about Impressionism combined with Yamato-e painting, just take it as a joke.”
“ This design, this idea, is no more sophisticated than my few words."
"Opportunistic, don't get me wrong, this is not criticism. It's even more of a skill."
Amada Riki swiped the screen and clicked his tongue twice, "I'm still someone who has done special research, and my ideas are still limited. Lang Shining, you are the new body painter. He is a kid who wants to participate in the Singapore Art Exhibition. He is so determined to be the best newcomer this year."
The curator turned to look at Uncle Sakai.
"Are they the students of our school or the disciples in your studio? Their lines, structures, and shapes are so excellent, they are the future stars of Asian art."
Amadam Rikiya It was a half-hearted joke.
Although he said this to give Issei Sakai some face, the child Professor Sakai mentioned was estimated to be around twenty-four or five-year-old at most.
To be able to reach such a level of painting at this age, with such momentum in his brushwork, he is still a junior to Kazunari Sakai.
Future achievements will not be low.
Curators value the artistic creativity of painters more than painters.
This is such a good idea
In the past impression of Rikiya Amada, such a retro style of painting by Lang Shining, he had always only regarded it as a subject of academic research, a kind of painting that could already be laid down. The "past tense" painting method in art history, the display items on the museum stand.
Between its difficulty.
Almost no modern painter would take this as his own artistic directionCome and study.
Or rather.
It is a very well-known and dead painting method.
Famous means valuable, dead means rare.
Rare things are always more valuable. To think of submitting a painting like this to the Lion City Art Exhibition, the time and place are perfect.
Renheto
Professor Kazunari Sakai has now found himself. Isn’t this what Renhe is?
The most amazing thing is that this is not even a work that he deliberately forcibly combined different painting elements with the so-called "just goal of winning a prize" in his mind.
It’s not about imitating Lang Shining for the sake of painting him.
The entire painting is highly mature and calm.
The rich color levels and heavy-color pigments work well together, and the two-dimensional meticulous painting system is supported by the focus perspective system of sketch lines.
There are also the Seurat-style short and layered dense lines that carve the light, and the delicate textures dragged out by the skin of the fingertips.
Young blood blends into ancient painting techniques.
New body painting has disappeared from the curator’s artistic vision for many years, but suddenly it has regained its vitality.
"Be ambitious, be ambitious."
Count your age.
Amada Riki can also be sure that there is a high probability that there must be an expert behind this guy to give guidance, maybe it is the chubby Sakai Kazunari.
Didn’t this guy also become famous with his paintings at art events back then?
You should have figured out a mature path.
This child has probably been preparing for this year's art exhibition and experimenting with painting techniques since he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
It took ten years to sharpen a sword, and fourteen states were exposed to the cold.
"Professor Sakai, how terrifying is such a thoughtful guy. It is natural that he can reach this stage this year. He is not only fleshy, but also full of mind. And modern young people, in order to become famous , It’s really exciting.”
Amada Riki also sighed in his heart.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he had guessed the truth.
In this way, there is a good explanation for the fact that a guy with such excellent painting skills has not been prominent in the younger generation of Japanese art circles for a long time.
It was obvious that he was secretly working on his ultimate move.
What he wanted was to achieve a blockbuster effect without being famous.
After ten years of hard work, is it worth changing to a big news in the spotlight?
It is definitely worth it.
Being a painter is the same as being an actor. Working as an extra in Hengdian for ten years is not as much as the second female lead in any TV series.
The art industry is winner-take-all.
No matter how much hardship you endure on the way to fame, you will feel so happy after becoming famous.
“Maybe the painter who painted this painting will not be able to paint it for another twenty years., when I get to your age, if I can still work, I will run over and beg people to hold a painting exhibition like I did today. ”
At first, Amada Riki was just talking about welcoming and sending off.
Thinking about it.
Instead, he began to become serious. Get up.
"It is inconvenient for such an outstanding young man to be in front of the exhibition. After he wins the award, please introduce me to him."
Amada Rikiya spoke and even stood up. He bowed directly.
“Please, Mr. Sakai. ”
If you make the right move, the process by which a top artist is gradually exploited by the market can not only make his gallery make a lot of money.
It can also make long-term collaborators with him The curator was immediately stunned.
That was the way Nanjo Shisheng used to go.
“Uh, oh, oh, oh, ok, that’s too true. It's serious, Amada-senpai, you don't have to be like this. ”
The thoughtful fat conspirator Sakai Kazunari was a little at a loss.
He didn’t even understand why the atmosphere suddenly became so serious when he looked at the painting carefully.
In order to cooperate with the other party, I had to stagger up from my seat, my belly was sore from doing abdominal rolls, and I leaned over with a grin on my face.
"Can I ask? Ask, from the perspective of a curatorial expert like you, if this child wants to continue to develop in this direction of painting, what should be his next artistic path?"
"Professor Sakai, you really want to consult Do you have my opinion?"
"If so, I specially invite you to come over. Of course I want to hear your advice. "
"That's it."
Amada Riki also looked directly into Sakai Kazunari's eyes for a moment, and then returned his gaze to the phone screen.
This
The curator was silent for a long time.
“Well, his painting method has reached this stage and is quite mature. He is the master of painting. Owner. There aren't many places that outsiders can point out. I'm just giving some suggestions for you to listen to. ”
“I won’t talk about the techniques. With Professor Sakai beside me, he can give you more pointers than me. Just looking at this painting reminded me of one thing. "
"Oh"
"I wonder, Professor Sakai, have you ever read A Dream of Red Mansions?"
"A Dream of Red Mansions. "
Uncle Sakai twisted his neck in confusion, "I read some chapters in high school. When I was in college, Dream of Red Mansions was the required reading recommended by the professor in the Oriental Art Overview class, and I briefly read the version translated by Sohei Ito. Not very impressed. ”
Among the four major classics, A Dream of Red Mansions is almost the most extreme reading in Japan.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is almost a household name.
Not to mention the total sales of tens of millions of copies of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series of games, the most popular work of Glorious Society, the old version of the TV seriesWhen the TV series was released in Japan, even the Emperor was alarmed.
In fact, even the new version of the Three Kingdoms TV series, which has been criticized the most online, has a pretty good reputation among Japanese young people.
The praise rate in online discussion groups even surpassed that of NHK’s heavy-budget Taiga drama Taira Kiyomori of the same year.
Water Margin and Journey to the West also have their own fans in popular culture.
Dream of Red Mansions is very coldly received, probably to the level that ordinary Japanese people have barely heard the name.
But in the professional field of art and culture, Dream of Red Mansions is still irreplaceable as the first of the four great classics.
There are still many professional red scholars in Japan, and their number is very large among art students and literary youths. Even as early as the Meiji era, it was selected as one of the most important official textbooks for learning Chinese.
Amada Riki also smiled, "At the end of the last century, I was a visiting scholar in Dongxia Capital. I talked with everyone about art and their respective cultures all day long. A professor in Dongxia mentioned that Japanese art The core of the story can be summarized in the story of the Taira family. The ringing of the bells of the Gion Temple tells the story of the impermanence of the world; the flowers of the Salu tree lose their color, and their prosperity turns to decay. This is the so-called mourning of things. ”
"I nodded and said it made sense. It gave me a sense of beauty in the vast white land. I heard that Mr. Feng Zikai once said that The Tale of Genji is the Japanese Dream of Red Mansions. I always thought that the Dream of Red Mansions is a love story about a man who hates a man and a woman who hates her. It’s too simple. It’s more like The Story of the Heike, A Dream on a Spring Night. When I was in school, Red Mansion was my favorite.”
“There is only one thing that cannot be concealed in Cao Xueqin’s poems. The poetry is difficult and the craftsmanship is limited, and it is a bit inferior to the real momentum of Li Du in the prosperous Tang Dynasty."
"The other party told me that I was wrong, and the poetry in the Red Mansion was just wonderful."< /p>
Amada Riki also recalled for a moment, "He told me that an art critic in Eastern Xia once said that Cao Xueqin's poems are like water plants in Dream of Red Mansions"
"Put them in water. Beautiful, after wiping out the water, only the dry blades of grass are left.”
“I kind of understand what you are talking about, Amada-senpai,” said Sakai Kazuki. There was some confusion in Cheng's eyes.
"The painting you showed me is like Cao Xueqin's poem."
"Whether it is oil painting, sketching or gongbi painting techniques, if you take them out alone, you can't say It is unremarkable, but it may not be considered outstanding among the entire group of painters. Its greatest advantage is that when the water plants meet the river, the whole painting suddenly comes alive."
