Soul Painter

Not to mention that Lu Zhi and God are keenly aware that there are human beings who are very close to Gao Fan and are about to come to Boston.

Just to mention an ASX review about Gao Fan's solo exhibition, like a stone thrown into the Boston art circle, it caused a series of waves.

The current chief artist of ASX, due to caution and fear of the "magic power" in Gao Fan's paintings, did not go to this exhibition for the time being, but the collective silence of art critics made him feel that Gao Fan's creation was not successful this time, so He started critically, and if he had known in advance what was going to happen next, he would have regretted his rashness.

According to common sense, it doesn’t really matter. After all, there are all kinds of extreme views on art, and no one can be sure that they are correct. But what the editor did not expect is that the attitude of all art critics is: appreciation, and yes Extremely appreciated.

First, Mrs. Gardner published an article on her social account—as one of the spiritual representatives of Boston, Mrs. Gardner's social account has attracted the attention of people in the industry.

In the article, Mrs. Gardner used very plain language to describe her encounter with Gao Fan.

"...at the selection meeting held by Ms. JK, I felt for the first time that being struck by a painting by a modern artist is a sense of fear that you want to run away from his work , I am deeply fascinated by his artistic style, which is a sublimation beyond traditional painting art, no, even groundbreaking, painting art can affect the world in a more direct way from then on.

But Gao and his works at that time were still like a blood warrior holding a sharp blade, which could only make people awe and fear, but could not make people worship, until I saw his "Mask" series of paintings, frankly speaking, I once wanted to buy one of these works for a million dollars, but I lost this opportunity. Now that I think about it, if I was willing to pay another million dollars to buy it, it would be the first time I have spent nearly ten years. An art investment with the fastest appreciation and the highest return.

In Gao's "Mask" group pictures, I saw the depravity of human nature. Fifteen paintings depict all imaginable human weaknesses. I have wandered alone in his great works in the middle of the night more than once, and therefore Feeling trembling, fear and despair, until seeing his sixteenth painting, that "Salvation".

It saved my soul, if God exists then He must be in the high brush.

In the face of such a great work, any slander seems pale and ridiculous. "

Mrs. Gardner's article was just the beginning. With her speech, a large number of art reviews began to appear on the Internet. In the newspapers, it seemed that art critics and collectors took a full week to start talking about Govan. As if waking up from the shock of the work, I began to express my views on it belatedly.

The news section of The Boston Globe published one reviewer's assessment:

"Sorry, I can't offer any art-related insights at this time, as I'm still remembering exactly what I saw.

Although I went to visit this great art exhibition on the opening day of Gao's personal art exhibition, but in the previous six days, I was always confused, what did I see? Is it the temptation of the devil, or the inspiration of God? After seeing the first fifteen mask paintings, I felt like I was in an endless hell until the sixteenth painting rescued me.

I think Mrs. Gardner is right that any slander for such a great work can only highlight its ignorance and absurdity, but she also did not say that any praise is not enough to describe the greatness of these paintings. In my opinion, God Not hidden in Gao's brush, he is the god of modern painting art. "

Immediately afterwards, a large number of art critics, collectors and media reporters began to express their views on the "Mask" exhibition in newspapers or on the Internet. What is more interesting is that no one analyzed the exhibition from the perspective of painting skills. So far, it seems that they can only provide subjective evaluation.

"I thought that such miraculous paintings would only appear in an age when technology is sufficiently advanced and human beings have been able to understand art through brain-computer interfaces through numbers and signals. That should be 100 years later, when the magical oriental magician brought us In the future, if you are interested in the future, you must come to this exhibition." The reporter of "Boston Herald" commented.

"It was a magical experience. Like everyone else, after a week of recollection, I still didn't realize what I saw. When I used to try to analyze the true meaning of these paintings through brushstrokes, colors and spatial structures, they It has fallen straight out of the screen and hit my nose, and I cried, probably from pain." Another art critic commented on his social account.

"Art and truth have never been closer to human beings than they are today. There is no doubt that GAO is the god of art in the new era. I am willing to become a believer in the Devil School and worship it for life!" A more radical art critic Also post comments on social platforms.

A large number of comments appeared on the Internet in a short period of time, and the information of this solo exhibition was not only widely disseminated in the art circle, but also spread to other ordinary netizens.

For more relevant information, social platforms began to focus their algorithms on this art exhibition in Boston, and soon put several hot words such as 'mask', 'GAO', and 'groundbreaking painting techniques' to the top In the "Hot Spots" ranking, in the information age, the Internet is a more direct means of communication than paper newspapers.

A large number of Boston citizens began to get news about the "Mask" exhibition from online social platforms, and they began to exchange information in the regional forums, and people who experienced the exhibition continued to describe their feelings.

"I don't like this art show, it's horrible! I cried for half an hour in front of a horrible mask, oh my god, my makeup was all gone, if it wasn't for the staff to guide me, I even felt like myself will die there."

"It's amazing, I was just drunk and looking for a place to warm up, but here I was baptized, and I decided to give up drinking, fix my suit, and find a job that would pay me enough to support me. "

"I didn't see the last painting, and I don't know who can last until the fifteenth painting—there should be fifteen paintings, and it is written in the exhibition description, because the seventh or sixth painting It just broke me."

More onlookers entered these topics, and they found a miraculous phenomenon, that is, the topic of the discussion of an art exhibition was not the painting itself, but everyone was talking about themselves, as if this art exhibition made them rediscover themselves.

Soon, another hot topic of "Who can insist on seeing the fifteenth "Mask"" became the top hot topic in the "Boston" area section of this social platform.

More than 500 local Bostonians have posted and participated in this challenge.

Gao Fan didn't know that by this weekend, hundreds of boring Bostonians would flood into his solo exhibition and start an even more boring challenge. They would compete to see who could finish the entire exhibition, and the winner would receive A mug of sour from the owner of the State Park bar, and the respect of all Boston men.

Chapter 1 ~ The following plot is a preview. There is a painting exhibition and painting, and then there is an adventure when I return to China, which is related to the third devil paint, and then the fourth paint. The reason why I put the adventure in another environment is that I am more worried that once the mystery appears in the life of the protagonist, I will accidentally kill a certain character. In this setting, it is really impossible to save a character.
