Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 111 109. Chen Shuren: I don’t know what I’m painting either

The Pompidou Center is a palace of modern art, and every exhibition here attracts many artists and art lovers.

Even if the exhibition is held by two artists from the East, there will still be many people coming to see the exhibition.

What's more, there is a famous art manager Ji Fa working behind the scenes, and many celebrities, rich people, and artists came to see the exhibition.

In France's upper class society, art is a must for life and communication.

As the protagonists of the exhibition, Chen Li'an, who is dressed in black, and Bai Qing, who is wearing a red dress, will naturally become the focus. The two are like conjoined twins and will be inseparable wherever they go.

As a double artist, how can we be separated?

The installation arranged by Chen Li'an surprised many people. In addition, the idea of ​​painting oil paintings on photos and combining photography art and oil painting art is also very innovative.

Although this art form is not as pure as pure oil painting, it is extremely expressive and impactful.

Even if your sensitivity is poor, you can still clearly feel the emotions contained in the pictures through the installations arranged by Chen Li'an.

Not only did this work make them feel novel, but the set of photography also made them feel different forms of photography.

Hundreds of photos are recombined and spliced ​​into a new work, which extends mosaicism and gives photography art a new form of expression.

Several photographers gathered around Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and asked: "How do you define this group of works of yours? Mosaic style or pixel style?"

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing looked at each other and smiled and said: "No, you can call it super-dimensional. A single photo is one dimension, but when these photos of the same dimension are rearranged and combined, it becomes another dimension." .”

This explanation made these people feel novel, and they agreed with Chen Li'an's statement that hundreds of works of different shapes and colors, with different contents, were re-created through light and shadow to form another dimension.

It's like three thousand small worlds combined into one big world, sublimated in both dimension and theme.

There were many people surrounding Chen Li'an and Bai Qing. After hearing Chen Li'an's explanation, they all turned their heads and looked at the super-dimensional photos. The more they looked at them, the more shocked they became. The numbness and hardship shown by the characters and the environment in a single photo were not strong. , but when combined together they were magnified exponentially.

It’s so big that you’ll feel shocked and depressed just by looking at it.

Sophie Marceau, who also received the invitation, was among the crowd. Listening to the conversation between Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, she felt that this exhibition was the right one.

She didn't like that group of photography very much. What she liked most was the group of Jiangnan-themed paintings. She felt feminism from those paintings.

The oppressive environment and the colorful struggling women in the black and white photos made her feel the struggle of the characters in the paintings and the oppression and restraint of the environment on women.

Sophie Marceau is a feminist herself, and she likes this group of paintings from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she is also curious about Chen Li'an and Bai Qing who created this group of paintings.

Her eyes wandered over Bai Qing, wondering if she was a feminist.

Seeing Chen Li'an and Bai Qing talking with others, Sophie Marceau originally wanted to go up to talk, but hesitated and stopped.

It doesn’t seem like a good place to communicate about women’s rights in such an occasion, maybe it can wait.

Sophie Marceau turned around and continued to look at the paintings. According to the order of each painting, she had to stand in the installation arranged by Chen Li'an and admire it for a long time.

She wouldn't look at the next picture until the people in line behind her became impatient.

Until she stood in front of the last painting, the emotions that had been accumulated in her heart suddenly expanded, like a tremor coming from the depths of her soul, making her want to shout along with the characters in the painting.

In the black and white photo, the golden sunlight disperses the thick fog, and the bright red figure seems to have broken free of its chains, leaping high to embrace the sunshine.

Stand up. She succeeded!

Sophie Marceau seemed to be able to feel the joy of liberation and the free heart of the characters in the painting.

After stopping in front of the painting for a long time, she calmed down and couldn't help but turn around to look for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, eager to chat with them.

Chen Lian and Bai Qing, who had dealt with a lot of people in the exhibition hall, were slacking off at the moment. In an inconspicuous corner, Chen Lian rubbed his sore neck and said, "They are too enthusiastic. Are all French people like this?"

Ji Fa couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, everyone here is full of passion."

"I don't want to come tomorrow." Bai Qing was a little uncomfortable with this situation.

Ji Fa looked at the tiredness in Bai Qing's eyes and said, "Of course. Artists should also remain mysterious at the right time. Overexposure is not good. We have a day off tomorrow."

"People and works should be separated. When the author is more attractive and gets more exposure than the work, his work will lose its potential value." Ji Fa explained and looked at Chen Li'an and said: "Artists are different from celebrities. This You should understand one thing."

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "I understand, but I feel like you are trying to persuade me not to be an actor."

"Yes, being an actor will not help your artistic career in any way." Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and said seriously: "Being an actor will prevent you from ascending to the altar of the art world."

After looking around for a while, Sophie Marceau, who had just walked over, overheard their conversation, and a flash of surprise flashed through her heart. She didn't expect that this artist from China was also an actor. Such status blessing instantly made her feel close.

We are all the same kind of people

"The rose has really come." Bo Qing saw Sophie Marceau a few steps away, touched Chen Li'an with his arm and said, "Your favorite star is here."

"Huh?" Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, and then he followed Bai Qing's line of sight and saw Sophie Marceau walking towards him at a glance. Her eyes were very bright under her long golden hair, but her eyes were slightly blurred. red.

Sophie Marceau walked up to them, looked at Jifa and said, "Long time no see Jifa."

Jifa turned her head and looked at Sophie Marceau and immediately said happily: "Why didn't you tell me when you came?"

"Let me introduce to you, this is Chen Li'an and Bai Qing." Ji Fa pulled Sophie Marceau to introduce, then pointed at Chen Li'an and said: "He is still your fan, you are his favorite French woman, haha"

Ji Fa's directness made Chen Li'an feel like his toes were about to dig out his shoes. What does it mean to be his favorite French woman! Uh. Although it’s true, you can’t say it like that!

Hearing Ji Fa's words, Sophie Marceau's face showed a hint of surprise, and her eyes looking at Chen Li'an were a little unnatural.

Chen Li'an immediately stretched out his hand and said to Sophie Marceau: "Hello, don't get me wrong, I like your movies very much, Ji Fa likes to joke."

Looking at Chen Li'an's outstretched hand, Sophie Marceau shook it gently and said, "Thank you for your like. I also like your work very much."

Ji Fa couldn't help but said with pity: "Li'an, you should follow the French tradition and perform a cheek-to-cheek ceremony! You missed an opportunity to be intimate with the goddess."

Chen Li'an: "." Can I say that I forgot? Do I still have a chance?

Bai Qing saw the trace of annoyance flashing in Chen Li'an's eyes and couldn't help but step on him quietly with his high-heeled feet.

The pain on his feet instantly woke up Chen Li'an, and he turned to look at Bai Qing.

Bai Qing's thin eyebrows suddenly raised, as if to warn Chen Li'an not to think too beautifully!

Sophie Marceau, who had been observing Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, noticed the little moves between them and felt that the two might not only be artistic partners.

"Are you a couple or a couple?" Sophie Marceau couldn't help but asked curiously.

"They are just artistic partners." Ji Fa was the first to explain. In fact, he was worried that Chen Li'an and Bai Qing's answers would be different, which would be embarrassing.

Although this answer made Bai Qing a little disappointed, he still nodded in approval.

Sophie Marceau was slightly startled and did not expect that the two of them were just artistic partners, but for a man and a woman to be able to create such a good work of art together, they must have feelings!

Maybe the world of artists is different from that of normal people? Sophie Marceau thought, and then asked: "Did you create those paintings together?"

"That's right, all the works here are created by us together. We are close and have a soul-match." Bo Qing spoke first.

A strange thought flashed through Sophie Marceau's mind. Intimate soul connection. Then why are they not together? What a strange combination!

Chen Li'an fully agreed with Bai Qing's statement. During this period of time, he and Bai Qing were indeed intimate and their souls resonated with each other. However, this relationship was different from love. Perhaps Bai Qing himself did not realize it and subconsciously This relationship is regarded as love.

If it were love, the two of them might not be able to create such a work. The magic of love will amplify many things, making things better or worse!

Sophie Marceau looked at Bai Qingjiao's beautiful face and couldn't help but ask: "Did you jointly lead that group of oil paintings?"

"Most of them are Li'an's ideas, and he was the one who proposed them in the first place." Bo Qing did not emphasize her own contribution. In her opinion, the two sets of works on display today were led by Chen Li'an, and Chen Li'an could have completed them without her.

Hearing Bai Qing's words, Sophie Marceau was very surprised. A feminist art work was actually created by a man?

Looking at Sophie Marceau's surprised expression, Jifa couldn't help but ask: "You seem surprised?"

Sophie Marceau nodded, hesitated and said, "I thought only women would speak out for women."

"Feminist rights?" Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. Sophie Marceau's understanding of the work was female rights, and she thought from a woman's perspective.

Sophie Marceau was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Isn't it?"

In fact, Chen Li'an's works do not specifically refer to women's rights. Even the characters in the paintings do not show gender distinction. It is just a vague concept.

If a man looks at it, he will see a man, and if a woman looks at it, she will see a woman. It all depends on how the individual understands it.

"Of course, everyone sees it differently. What you see is women's rights, and that is women's rights!" Chen Li'an said affirmatively.

Sophie Marceau: ".So what is it?"

Chen Li'an looked into her beautiful eyes and said: "This is like a collection of a vague concept. There are many interpretations in this collection. Everyone sees it differently, so there is no need to worry about what it is."

Just like Lu Xun didn't know what he was writing, he all relied on the Chinese teacher's interpretation!

The same is true for Chen Li'an's paintings. You can interpret them however you want.

Chen Shuren said that I don’t know what I am painting. You can take your time and guess.

There is another chapter that will be late, so you can read it when you wake up tomorrow morning.
