Chapter 133 Hidden Easter Egg Thinking that since he was already here, Chen Mo walked around the art museum Mo doesn't know much about paintings, but art always has something in common, so he still has the basic ability to appreciate it. The paintings depict reality and illusion through lines and present light and shadow through colors, and are either realistic or abstract. Even people who don't understand painting can see the vividness of realistic paintings at a glance. But for abstract paintings, it involves personal artistic proposition. Art is something that is extremely conceptual and personal, and sometimes it is simply impossible for others to understand. Sometimes, it even makes viewers exclaim in their hearts, "This thing is also art." In other words, sometimes what some overly abstract works of art express depends entirely on what the painter himself says. As for whether others believe it or not, and whether they can find resonance in it, that is their own problem. At times like this, you should look for the reasons within yourself, ask yourself whether you have artistic talent, whether you understand what art is, and whether you have any artistic appreciation. Chen Mo also knows some of the tricks and tricks in this business.
The value of art requires commercial packaging, especially paintings. Because paintings are not like other music or literary works, the market sales and circulation of the works can to a certain extent reflect their recognition and embody their artistic or literary value. The value of a painting is mostly reflected by past sales, but the transaction amount of a single work can easily be "hyped". This gives some people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The word "art" is the most capable of blurring the monetary price tag. After all, art is "priceless". Chen Mo knew this because there is also this "way" to make movies: big-budget, big-production bad movies, theaters with no one watching, and inexplicably high box office. The money will be clean after being rinsed with water, and then you can take it out to dry in the sun without any worries. Chen Mo was walking around the art museum in a cursory manner. As he had something else to do later, he did not take his time to appreciate each painting and read the information about the painters and their works next to the paintings. Originally, Chen Mo came here today to deal with something at the company, and now he suddenly came to see the art exhibition because he "bumped" into Fang Taichu, so he just wanted to take a look at the paintings and leave. Judging from Chen Mo's attitude towards visiting exhibitions, the time it takes to finish the exhibition depends entirely on how big the art gallery is and how long it takes to walk through it. So while Chen Mo was looking around, he was thinking whether he should wait for the little girl Fang Taichu and tell her before leaving. After all, it was she who brought him in to see the place. Just as Chen Mo was thinking this, he turned a corner and saw a piano placed under a painting. This design concept aroused Chen Mo's interest. He walked closer and found that it was still an old piano. It looked like it was quite old, but it was well maintained. Chen Mo looked at it carefully, lifted the piano cover and tried the sound, but didn't find anything special about the piano. He then looked up at the painting above the piano. It was a dark composition. In a dim house, a woman sat alone in front of the window, leaving a lonely silhouette. This window is the only bright color in the painting. The light coming in through the window seems to represent some kind of desire and yearning. The painting is nice, but Chen Mo doesn't see the purpose of putting the piano here. Chen Mo walked around the piano and the painting, looking at them from different angles and pondering. Then Chen Mo burst into laughter. He then noticed that there was a pair of wireless headphones hanging on the side of the piano, which he had not seen just now due to the angle. There were quite a lot of tricks. Chen Mo shook his head and didn't think much about it. He just picked up the headphones and put them to his ears. The headphones came with restless drum beats and a very rhythmic bass melody. Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. Rock and roll?!
He thought it would be some soothing light music, but he didn't expect it to be a rock melody that was completely opposite to the loneliness presented in the painting. interesting. Chen Mo couldn't help but smile knowingly. Listening to this restless melody and then looking up at the lonely painting above, Chen Mo immediately had a different feeling. The painting no longer depicts a lonely silhouette peeking out the window, but rather an impulse that makes people want to smash the window in front of them. Break this window that imprisons your freedom, leave this dark cage, and go to the world that your heart desires. It was a new and vast world, with mountain winds blowing in from my ears, brushing through the weeds, passing through the dense forests, and chilling against the steep rocks on the mountain tops. Chen Mo listened to the sound of wind at the end of the melody in his headphones, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment and relaxation arose spontaneously. This is the wind of freedom. And where there is wind blowing in, there is an exit. Chen Mo carefully observed the painting in front of him, and finally found a subtle color difference in the shadow on the right side of the window. It looked like a door. Then Chen Mo looked to the right outside the painting. There was also an inconspicuous door two or three meters away. Before seeing the painting just now, Chen Mo thought it was a storage room or something, but now it seems to be a hidden easter egg. Chen Mo took off his headphones and walked towards the door next to him with curiosity. He wanted to see what was behind the door. "Kacha." Chen Mo grabbed the door handle and tried to open the door. The door was not locked and opened directly. Behind the door was a long and narrow corridor with a row of lenses on one side and several paintings hanging on the other. Chen Mo walked in, thinking that there must be some treasures hidden here, but after looking around, he found that there seemed to be nothing special about it, and it was not better than the paintings outside. In fact, some of the paintings were not as good as those on display outside. However, Chen Mo noticed the special thing about these paintings, that is, all of them were painted by the same person. It is not observed from any technique or painting style, but simply because there is a person's name written in the lower right corner of these paintings: Huang Yimei. Chen Mo thought about it and had never heard of any famous painter with this name. Could he be a newcomer who emerged in recent years? The reason for this idea is that Chen Mo looked at these paintings. Although the first two or three were a bit immature, they could even be said to be just doodles. But as we look further back, we can see that the painter's painting skills are improving, or gradually maturing. So what is displayed here are not some collection paintings, but the works of this person named "Huang Yimei" at different stages of his painting learning process. It can be said to be his growth history in learning painting. But isn’t this usually displayed at home? Chen Mo walked to the end of the corridor with a slightly confused mood. At the end of the corridor is another door. The entire wall connected to the door is painted with dense jungle, making it look like there is a secret forest behind the door. Looking at this door in the middle, wow, is this divided into stages? The outside is the early work, and the inside is the complete work? Chen Mo guessed, smiled, opened the door and went in to find out what was going on. (End of this chapter)
