I talked to him throughout the afternoon, Dafen oil painting village and wushipu oil painting village listening the “oil painting reproduction industry” the development of history, to listen to him talk about for many years in the “oil painting reproduction” the practice of going through, I followed him from the long queue to dafen building near the EC turned around and asked him about the dafen Oil Painting Village, outside the “art indestry” market, in conclusion, I still houses his studio and see if he has a taste by reading magazines, and the elegant music appreciation repertoire. Yu-Pei Chen a special paint that works on the life of the pursuit of a trivial thing, a topic, and a little bit of hope that caused me to write one of his impulse to write.
He said he had painted in wushipu, in 2006 came from the Buji Street, Dafen oil painting is in fact a studio stairs, only a small drawing board and put a bench in the interview him, I was almost a half of sitting under the eaves. In 2000 he came before the Department of Foreign Trade. Society in Chongqing University Fine Arts Department studied painting professional painting, and oil paintings of “line drawing” some understanding of the history of the development. He said: There was a time of China had wanted to write a “line drawing” the development of the history of the article. However, the reality of his existence, and force him to, but not the power, dafen was only the development of oil painting village. In this regard, I am not a conclusion. But I know he is a very heart of a “youth arts.” Said that he is “young art”, mainly for some of his pursuit of the arts experience. It is reported that he read before the Adult College of Fine Arts has a kind of “obsession.” After graduating from high school, he sat around the professional colleges of Fine Arts, because of physical reasons, almost all the colleges of art firmly closed the door to him. Finally, in his father’s help, on the Chongqing University of Fine Arts painting community professional, before the breaking of his “Art Complex”
After graduating from college, could have chosen another life, but the sake of “art” and to the Department of Foreign Trade, he has to in the “line drawing” in the market test of their artistic value. At the same time, evaluation of his own, his art complex that led to the pursuit of the arts, a bit unreal. Because any kind of pure art when to leave the school this stage pure art, art becomes shallow. Yu-Pei Chen entered a “line art” market, by drawing on the feel of a real painting and getting farther and farther away, and feel the hearts of the total inner feeling of the art of painting is not the final release. But also forced him to live in the “line drawing” of the market is, at best, to do a painting work. Go? Yu-Pei Chen to the village of Dafen oil painting is the illusion of holding a great one. He said that after more than a decade of development and government support to promote the village of Dafen oil painting has been the birth of a “god” will be fun all day long in the oil painting above the drift of the village. He also expected, the “gods” to Universal Life, to help each and every village of Dafen oil painting works, artist, painter and art dealers are successful. He said that he is directed from this illusion. Listen to him that the great fun I think the moment has become the mysterious oil painting village, and could not help but rise gradually have looked at the sky from the dark!
dafen in your heart flutter over the “gods” is what? He said the market is a broker market. He expressed the hope that one day the village of Dafen oil painting agent, oil painting from a can in his studio inside staircases see his paintings at the “sold” him down. And then he would not worry about the economic, in accordance with their own ideas, style, experience to all creation, in order to achieve a kind of artistic pursuit. Moreover, the broker may have some more there, to the packaging to promote the village of Dafen oil painting every painter, artist, painting work. He described such a result, I do feel that the village was great fun, the prospect appears somewhat like a painting described by Tao Yuan-ming’s “Eutopia” as the ideal. Yu-Pei Chen is a kind of “alternative” work of art, on his “alternative” appearance, it is necessary to pay more bitter than others sweat. He boasted: “I no less than ‘hell’ who is under the ‘hell’? But I see a ‘paradise, even though I was’ hell’ struggle!” As an ordinary work of art, he came to Dafen Oil Painting Village, has been the spirit of looking forward to their own homes. Yu-Pei Chen this spiritual longing, by reference to a premature death he was very like the Austrian, “the soul of a poet” and a few lines of poetry to express a “soul of the stranger in this land of the wind rose-colored joy ah a few stray track in the dark stranger came to the door of footsteps echoed in the night sky in the silver ray of sacred singing, “the village of Dafen oil painting you really have the charm? Dafen Oil Painting Village, there is such a mind to carry such a heavy heart the spirit of pursuit and placed it?
