A few months ago, Zhang Zhilin , who was singing and dancing on the stage of Mango TV variety show "Breaking Through Thorns", came to Mango TV again this winter.
But this time, he is no longer a performer, but unlocks a brand new identity, curator . That is, with four other guests, he served as the curator of the first aesthetic variety show in China, " Can Draw the Sky of a Boy " , created by Hunan Satellite TV.
Curator refers to the person who selects art works and provides explanations during art exhibition activities. Zhilin Zhang will show his personalized aesthetics in this aesthetic variety show, boldly ask young painters on behalf of the audience, and collide with artistic concepts.
all say that art is the same. Mango TV has successfully operated a number of music, dance and dubbing variety shows. This time, it finally touched the perspective of the niche "art" field, with the intention of leading everyone to appreciate oil painting, ink painting, fine brushwork painting, pencil drawing, , digital board painting, comprehensive art, street graffiti and other forms, so that ordinary people can enter art. In addition to inviting Zhang Zhilin as the curator, which four other guests are there? Actor Li Bingbing; Li Xiangqun, dean of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts and a leader in contemporary Chinese sculpture; the first Chinese female curator Lu Rongzhi ; talk show actor Li Dan .
The five guests have their own characteristics: Li Xiangqun is a master in the art world, representing "professional"; Lu Rongzhi is an art critic, representing "market"; Li Dan is a screenwriter and writer, with unique views and representing "perspective"; Li Bingbing and Zhang Zhilin do not understand painting, but can appreciate paintings, representing "popularity".
When it comes to Zhilin Zhang, everyone knows that he has good singing and dancing, good acting skills, and he also spoils his wife. Anita Yuen I love to spend money to buy bags, and they are all spoiled by Zhang Zhilin.
And Zhilin Zhang also has a "hidden" hobby, which is to collect art. On the one hand, it is for investment, and on the other hand, it is for painting.
The most famous painting Zhang Zhilin collected is the work of "Japanese Art Queen" Kusama Yayoi . As long as the other party has a suitable work, Zhang Zhilin will buy it.
This time I came to "The Sky of a Boy", and Zhang Zhilin also talked about his understanding of painting and his feelings about contact with young painters.
Zhejiang's 60 contestants in the Kusama Yayoi's painting exhibition
program stood out from 8,000 young painters. After selection by the program team, there are many young talents who graduated from well-known art academies at home and abroad and professional artists who have held solo exhibitions many times. The first episode of
is very simple. Each contestant brought his works to display, and the curator holding ten invitation cards was watched by a tour, reviewing the highlights and shortcomings in the paintings, communicating with the contestants, and ultimately achieving "mutual selection". The curator handed the invitation card in his hand to the favorite painter and invited him to enter his booth.
Zhe Lin said at the beginning of the show that when he sees many works of art, it is a nutrient for him.
Compared with Li Dan's sharp words and Li Xiangqun's strict standards, Zhang Zhilin is very polite to every young painter and does not comment on the other party's works casually. He is more about feeding back his subjective feelings about the works to the painters.
For works that I really appreciate, Zhilin Zhang also happily sent out an invitation card.
Young painter Wang Zhenyu sat on the stage with his oil painting "Back View" for a long time, but he didn't wait for the curator to favor him. When he was emotionally lost, Cheung appeared at the right time.
Zhang Zhilin speaks very gently, but artistic exchange is a serious matter, and he will also let the contestants "face reality". Most of the other contestants in Wang Zhenyu's work gave negative comments. Zhilin Zhang directly told Wang Zhenyu about these negative comments and asked him to think about it.
At the same time, Zhai Zhilin also gave a comforting voice and affirmed the highlights in the work, "very personal."
Although Cheung did not give an invitation card in the end, his communication with the contestants was also an encouragement for him.
However, Wang Zhenyu did not find anything. The family story behind his work moved Chen Rongzhi and finally got an invitation card from Chen Rongzhi.
and Zhang Zhilin's communication like a warm spring breeze, Li Dan, who dares to say anything, is completely in a debate with the contestants.
The work "Seeing Laughing" by young painter Li Huan is very alternative in style, mixing many elements, and tending toward the two-dimensional world.
Li Dan came up and expressed his doubts, thinking that such a work is not worth so much money, and the content texture is similar to that of the wallpaper downloaded online. These words made Li Huan very embarrassed. He and Li Dan popularized pop art , but after arguing with reason, Li Dan failed to resolve his doubts.
Art is a unique aesthetic, and I can only say that each flower is in my eyes.
Of course, there are also excellent works that have been snatched by curators on the spot.
For example, the Chinese painting work "In this Mountain", which made Li Bingbing "love at first sight", Chen Shisan from Harvard Design Institute, "Is there knowledge first or the molecules first", Chen Langmu from the Department of Oil Painting of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, and the watercolor work "Zhu" that was highly praised by Dean Li Xiangqun.
These contestants are young artists who have been learning painting for many years, are talented and have been "proven to value" by the market.
Looking at the first episode of the program, the painting levels of the 60 contestants are uneven. Let's wait and see who can become the final winner.
