Chapter 953 - 368: My Sister Is Reborn (Part 12)
Spent two more days at the art exhibition and ran into a few friends I met at S Art.
Among them was a gallery owner.
As it happens, this gallery once wanted to sign He Tiantian.
He even thought of how to hype this painter: a genius and beautiful young artist!
Not yet eighteen, but producing works of a very high standard.
Perhaps it’s the waning realism, but whether the paintings are good or not, there’s no denying it.
Even outsiders who don’t understand art think the paintings are good because they can understand them without someone else chattering in their ear with explanations.
The key is that He Tiantian is very pretty, 168 cm tall, weighing 90 pounds, but not looking frail.
With fair skin, double eyelids, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a naturally oval face, she could make a group of pointy-chinned faces envy her!
Even if He Tiantian went to the West, she’d still be praised as a pretty young girl.
Don’t say there’s a difference in beauty standards between the East and the West.
Global beauty standards have always been largely unified.
If you don’t believe it, just look at those so-called most beautiful women in the world. Is any of them narrow-eyed, flat-nosed, or covered with freckles?
Whether it’s a beauty stunning Europe or a goddess in Hollywood, they’re almost all with big eyes, high nose bridge, distinct features, and perfect bone structure.
The so-called difference in aesthetics is just "face blindness" between different races.
Or maybe it’s just some "artists" trying to cover up by flattering the West!
The gallery owner thought that the title of genius beautiful young artist for He Tiantian would definitely make a splash.
Unfortunately, He Tiantian did not agree.
In her own words, "I just like painting, and I don’t want to sell my works for money right now!"
In other words, ’I really don’t lack that bit of money.’
Of course, most importantly, He Tiantian didn’t want to be constrained by the gallery’s rules and frameworks.
She is still in the learning and accumulating stage, where interest is more important than anything.
If too much profit is mixed in, and she has to cater to the market and paint "assigned compositions," He Tiantian definitely wouldn’t be able to stand it.
The owner is just...one of those nouveaux riches from the city village, definitely not the struggling poor painter type.
Even though He Tiantian didn’t sign a contract, the owner still holds her in high regard.
There’s no help for it. This girl’s talent is so high that she seems like someone God is secretly feeding.
With such talent, a well-off family, and being very diligent herself, she can surely make a name for herself in the art world.
Being in the same circle, getting along beforehand is never a bad thing.
For example, the tickets for this Shanghai art exhibition were given by the gallery owner.
So, running into this old acquaintance at the venue is quite reasonable.
"Next month in the Capital City, there’s an art salon, and a few artists signed with our gallery will be attending!"
Seeing He Tiantian, the owner warmly invited her with a smile, "You’re going to the Capital City for the art entrance exam, right? It’s right on your way."
"Also, I’ve invited a few teachers from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. You should bring a piece of your work too—"
The owner didn’t say too much.
But his intent was very clear.
He Tiantian is going to the Capital City for the art entrance exam, aiming for the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
If she could get some advice from the teachers in advance, it would definitely be beneficial for her!
"Great, thank you, Teacher Feng!"
He Tiantian is just passionate about painting, not really lacking social intelligence.
She certainly knew the gallery owner’s good intentions and naturally offered sincere thanks.
The gallery owner’s last name is Feng, and he painted in his younger days too.
But his talent wasn’t enough to make a name for himself, so he changed careers to become a businessman.
Running a gallery, at least, keeps him connected to art in some way, and Boss Feng isn’t entirely detached from his original field.
Still, he’s not purely a businessman, and young people like He Tiantian refer to him courteously as "Teacher Feng."
"You’re welcome! It’s because you paint well!"
Being art lovers, Boss Feng is willing to help talented young people.
After leaving the exhibition, He Tiantian began to consider what piece to take to the Capital City.
Moreover, she had some insights from observing and studying these past few days, and she was eager to try them out.
Back at the hotel, He Tiantian didn’t waste any time and picked up her drawing board to start with some sketches.
From evening to morning, from morning to evening.
No eating, no drinking, no sleeping; He Tiantian seemed to have fallen into a trance again.
He Tianxin was still secretly blaming He Tiantian for wasting money and doubting whether her sister was truly obsessed or just putting on an act.
Every day she merely reminded her symbolically without force-feeding her like a real mother, Tian Shumin, would.
On the third day, it was time to go home. Waking up in the morning, He Tianxin didn’t see the figure of her sister painting on the balcony.
A bad feeling surged in He Tianxin’s heart, and she ran to the balcony, only to see someone lying on the ground motionless...
