Chapter 111 109. Chen Shuren: I don't even know what I'm drawing

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

Even if two artists from the East are organizing this exhibition, there will still be many people coming to see the exhibition.

What's more, there is a well-known art manager Ji Fa working behind the scenes, and many celebrities, rich people and artists have come to see the exhibition.

In the upper class of France, art is a must for life and communication.

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

Two artists, how can they be separated?

The installations arranged by Chen Li'an made many people feel novelty. 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 simple oil painting, it is extraordinarily expressive and impactful.

Even if you are less sensitive, you can clearly feel the emotions contained in the picture through the installation arranged by Chen Li'an.

Not only did this work make them feel novel, but even that group of photographic works also made them feel different forms of photography.

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

Several photographers surrounded Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and asked, "How do you define your works? Mosaic style or pixel style?"

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing looked at each other and said with a smile: "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, they become another dimension. .”

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

It's like combining three thousand small worlds into one big world, which has been sublimated in terms of dimensions and themes.

There were many people around Chen Li'an and Bai Qing. Hearing Chen Li'an's explanation, they all turned their heads to look at those ultra-dimensional photos. The more they looked at them, the more shocking they felt. The numbness and hardship shown by the characters and the environment in a single photo were not strong. , but when combined together they are multiplied.

It is so big that you will feel shocked and depressed at a glance.

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 right.

She doesn't like that group of photographs very much. What she likes most is the group of Jiangnan-themed paintings. She feels feminism from those paintings.

The oppressive environment and 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.

Looking at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing who were talking with others, Sophie Marceau wanted to go up to talk, but stopped after hesitating.

It seems that it is not good to exchange feminist rights on such an occasion, maybe you 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 to admire it for a long time.

She didn't go to the next one until the people in the queue got a little impatient.

When she stood in front of the last painting, the emotions that had been accumulated in her heart instantly swelled up, like a trembling coming from the depths of her soul, which made her want to shout along with the characters in the painting.

In the black-and-white photo, the golden sun disperses the thick fog, and the bright red figures seem to have broken free from their chains, leaping high to embrace the sun.

Stand up. She made it!

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

She calmed down after standing in front of the painting for a long time, and couldn't help but turned to look for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, and couldn't wait to chat with them.

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, who had dealt with many people in the exhibition hall, were slacking off. In an inconspicuous corner, Chen Li'an rubbed his sore neck and said, "They are too enthusiastic, are all French people like this?"

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

"I don't want to come tomorrow." Bai Qing was not used to this kind of occasion.

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

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

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

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

Sophie Marceau, who had just walked over after looking around, accidentally heard their conversation, and she was surprised. She didn't expect that this artist from China is also an actor. Such an identity blessing instantly made her feel close.

We are all the same
"The rose is really here." Bai Qing saw Sophie Marceau who was a few steps away, touched Chen Li'an with his arm and said, "The star you like is here."

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

Sophie Marceau walked in front of them, looked at Ji Fa and said, "Long time no see Ji Fa."

Ji Fa turned her head to look at Sophie Marceau and said happily, "Why didn't you tell me when you came here."

"Let me introduce to you, this is Chen Li'an and Bai Qing." Ji Fara introduced Sophie Marceau, and then pointed to 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 that his toes were about to tear his shoes, what is the favorite French woman!Uh. Although it is true, you can't say it like that!

Hearing Ji Fa's words, Sophie Marceau showed a trace of surprise on her face, and looked at Chen Li'an with unnatural eyes.

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 gently shook it and said, "Thank you for your liking, I also like your work very much."

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

Chen Li'an: "." Can I say I forgot, do I still have a chance?
Seeing the annoyance flashing in Chen Li'an's eyes, Bai Qing couldn't help but stomped on him with his high-heeled feet.

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

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

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

"Are you husband and wife or lovers?" Sophie Marceau couldn't help asking curiously.

"They're just partners in art." Ji Fa took the lead in explaining. In fact, he was worried that Chen Li'an and Bai Qing's answers would be different, which would be embarrassing.

Although Bai Qing was a little disappointed by such an answer, he still nodded in approval.

Sophie Marceau was slightly taken aback, but she didn't expect that the two were just artistic partners, but there must be affection between a man and a woman to create such a good work of art together!

Perhaps the world of an artist is different from that of a normal person?Sophie Marceau thought about it, and then asked, "Did you create those paintings together?"

"That's right, all the works here are created by us together, we are intimate and our souls fit together." Bai Qing said first.

A strange thought flashed in Sophie Marceau's mind, intimate and soul mate. Then why are they not together?What a strange combination!

Chen Li'an very much agrees with Bai Qing's statement. During this period of time, he and Bai Qing are indeed close and can indeed resonate with each other in soul, but this kind of relationship is different from love. Perhaps Bai Qing himself did not realize it. This relationship is called love.

If it is love, the two of them may not be able to create such a work. The magic of love will magnify many things, making things better and worse!

Looking at Bai Qingjiao's beautiful face, Sophie Marceau couldn't help asking: "Did you lead that group of oil paintings together?"

"Most of them were Li'an's ideas, and he was the one who proposed them first." Bai Qing didn't emphasize her own contribution. In her opinion, the two groups of works exhibited today are 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 work of art was created by a man?

Seeing Sophie Marceau's surprised expression, Ji Fa couldn't help asking: "You seem surprised?"

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

"Feminist rights?" Chen Li'an was taken aback for a moment, and then understood that Sophie Marceau's understanding of the work is feminist rights, and she thinks from the perspective of women.

Sophie Marceau froze 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, and even the characters in the paintings do not show gender distinctions, which are vague and just a concept.

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

"Of course, what everyone sees is different. 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: "It's like a collection of vague concepts. There are many interpretations in this collection. Everyone sees it differently. You don't need to worry about what it is."

Just like Lu Xun didn't know what he was writing, it all depends on the interpretation of the Chinese teacher!
The same is true of Chen Li'an's paintings, you can interpret them however you want.

Chen Shuren said that I don't know what I painted. Take your time to guess.

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