Today, every Chinese painter has a camera, plus a lot of picture albums and magazines. Cameras and picture albums are the source of our visual experience. The support point of this thinking is not painting. It is very dangerous for a painter not to be able to sketch.——Chen Danqing

The diploma is for making a living and has nothing to do with art.

The company requires diplomas when hiring people because the first priority of the company is mediocrity.

A diploma is a guarantee of mediocrity; they would never want a Van Gogh.











My real identity is an educated youth.

My actual educational level is only a junior high school graduate.

I didn't even go to middle school.







The College of Humanities and Arts also has to take a political science exam.

Then the art students are taking foreign language exams.

So I couldn't find a graduate student for four years.

Just because his political score is one point lower,

His English is one point short.

It would be useless even if he painted as well as Van Gogh or Picasso.

Art schools should recruit some crazy people.

Rather than those good kids with excellent grades.








Chinese adults' interactions

Even artists,

It is also a set of exquisite "interpersonal relationships".

It is entangled with interests and schemes, and the mood is unpredictable.

Art is nothing.

And in many clearly worldly

In front of their Chinese counterparts who practiced elegantly,

I don't know when it started.

I actually feel like talking about art

I'm afraid it's something so pedantic and shallow that it's almost shameful.













Common sense is the foundation.

Sketching is not the basis.

Teaching sketching is counterintuitive.

Everything is important.

But if you say sketching is the most important,

That's not right.

A tree, which branch can you say,

Which leaf is the most important?
