“The more mountains and rivers a person has in his heart, the easier it is to be emotional and ruthless towards every plant and tree - there will always be times when a person’s unique personality cannot be understood.”
< p>Do you know who said this philosophical statement?Yes, that one looks a bit fierce
Actually a bit funny
With a "giant baby in life"
"Chinese version of Christmas" Said by Mr. Xu Jinjiang, who is known as "The Old Man, God of Thunder and King of the Sea"
With his "Qingqi" style of acting
He is also on the hot search list

He has designed posters and renovated buildings
He has participated in avant-garde art< /p>
He has issued stamps with his own works
He is interested in trying any art-related behavior
"Playing" to the extreme
He is a disciple of Guan Shanyue and a student of the Academy of Fine Arts
Compared with being an actor
Xu Jinjiang started painting much earlier
He said he had to thank his father for this.
In 1961
Xu Jinjiang was born in a medical family in Heilongjiang.
Due to his superb medical skills, his father , willing to help others
Made many friends
Guan Shan, the second generation master of the Lingnan School of Painting, painted "So Many Beautiful Lands" for the Great Hall of the People Yue is their family's family friend
▲Guan Shanyue
▲Fu Baoshi and Guan Shanyue's "So Many Beauties"
I originally wanted Xu Jinjiang to practice medicine His father
saw that he liked painting, so he entrusted him to Guan Shanyue
From then on, Xu Jinjiang became Guan Shanyue's disciple
and began to study systematically Painting
The time when I studied painting with Guan Shanyue
was very precious to Xu Jinjiang
When Master Guan was in poor health
p>
Let Xu Jinjiang go out to participate in cultural activities instead of him
We will make a report after seeing it back
Xu Jinjiang described those days as "surprise study"
< p> "Modern dance, drama, art exhibitionsI go to all cultural activities
After returning, I will communicate with teacher Guan Shanyue
This is very important to me The artistic path has been of great help.
"
Under the guidance of famous experts and diligent and studious
Xu Jinjiang's painting skills improved by leaps and bounds
Later, he was admitted to "one of the eight major art academies in China"< /p>
Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts
While Xu Jinjiang was enjoying his painting time
His father died of illness
With no source of income, he I started to make a living from painting
But I always lacked a little luck
I painted for a long time but still didn’t achieve anything.
Forced by life, I had to stop painting. , looking for another way
Art gave him a second life
Abandoned painting and acting, lost himself
Xu Jinjiang, who is tall and has mixed genes< /p>
He was often said to be a model by his friends
After leaving the painting world for a while
He began to try modeling and singing jobs
And accidentally entered the Hong Kong Wireless Artist Training Class
Became classmates with Andy Lau, Wu Jiali, and Tony Leung Ka Fai
Because of his rough and fierce appearance
With Compared with his classmates, Xu Jinjiang is not doing well in the entertainment industry
Not only is he good at roles
Most of the roles he can get are villains in "Feng Yue Movies"
One film after another, he once made 13 films in one year
The high-intensity work doubled his pressure
He burst into tears as soon as he finished work
I felt scared when I saw the crew's car
He said
"I really couldn't find myself for a while
The busiest time was in the morning in mainland China , in Taiwan at night
I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't know where I was.
"
▲Xu Jinjiang's "Wang"
In addition to the unsatisfactory performance work
His creative path encountered another "serious setback"
In 1997, he published a nude photo album
Not only was he attacked by the outside world, but his family also opposed him
At that time, the only person who supported him was his teacher Guan Shanyue
p>And titled the photo album "Collection of Forms and Spirits"
Unfortunately, Guan Shanyue also died of illness later
Xu Jinjiang, who suffered successive blows, gradually lost himself
Suffering from depression and unable to extricate himself
At the most serious time
He often thought about death and would stand by the window late at night
He said to his wife: “When my brother leaves, he must be beautiful! ”
Rediscovering oneself through art
Xu Jinjiang, immersed in a depressed world
Commemorating Guan Shanyue’s birthday in 2012
1 A new turning point came at the 100th anniversary exhibition
Guan Shanyue’s daughter encouraged him to pick up the paintbrush again
Find yourself in art
Inner Loneliness can only be solved by oneself
Xu Jinjiang picked up the brush and carving knife again
Examine himself, paint himself, carve himself
Hanging in his studio Full of his own works
Every stroke of tracing, every stroke of carving
The complete and incomplete ones are his truest image
The pictures created by Xu Jinjiang are often very simple
A lone bird, a dead tree
Two or three wild grasses, a few small fish
Revealed in the randomness The meaning of staying away from the hustle and bustle
▲Xu Jinjiang's "Emergency Return"
▲"Impression of Huangshan"
A stubborn artist
Doing art The exhibition did not sell a single work
Tony Leung Ka Fai once commented on Xu Jinjiang in the program
It has not changed over the years
He treats art the same way
I have always stuck to my original intention with some stubbornness
For example, for most art practitioners
Exhibitions are often held to increase fame and better quality. Selling works
But not Xu Jinjiang
In 2015
Xu Jinjiang held his first self-curated exhibition at Times Museum
"The painting is as beautiful as the Jinjiang River"
Even before that, he had been invited to art exhibitions
But most of them were rejected by him
He believed that "if you really want to To hold an art exhibition,
you must have requirements for yourself.
”
Just when he kept rejecting invitations to exhibitions
The young artists who lived next to his studio expressed great envy
I hope he can lead them to find Opportunities to show themselves
For these young people
Xu Jinjiang seemed to see himself in the past
and decided to organize an exhibition
Promote talented artists
At this exhibition
Xu Jinjiang *** displayed more than 30 of his works
Many people want to spend a lot of money to seek help from A piece of work
But he was not willing to sell one
In fact, there was a professional collection magazine published long ago
"Twenty-eight thousand square feet" "I bought his painting at a price of 1.5 million, but he didn't sell it.
A collector offered a price of 1.5 million
to buy one of his ink paintings titled "Qiu Sends Jin Luo Shi Shi"
He is still reluctant to sell
▲Xu Jinjiang's "The Qiu Sends Strength and the Luo Shirt Wet"
Some people say that he is too stubborn and gave up the opportunity to make a lot of money
p>
But he said
Every time someone said buying a painting, I felt like selling a child, and I couldn’t bear to part with it
Over the years, Xu Jinjiang has never sold a painting
p>Regarding Xu Jinjiang’s works
The famous art critic Ji Tainian once said this
“There are many people in the Chinese entertainment industry who play calligraphy and painting
But Some people just use their fame to create hype
Xu Jinjiang is not like this, he is considered to be at a high level. ”
Spend a lot of money to build an art center with your own hands
Talented people must love talents
In order to help young artists
Establish and display artistic talents The stage
Xu Jinjiang spent a lot of money to establish the "Xu Jinjiang Art Center"
Xu Jinjiang treats the art center very carefully
He has visited Fujian, Chongqing, and Anhui on the spot After waiting for a place
he finally stopped in front of a 150-year-old ancient building in Anhui
▲Changes in the facade of Xu Jinjiang Art Center< /p>
He said
"That is an ancestral temple. Looking at it
I knew that we were destined to have a connection
It has been waiting for me, and I am looking for it too
Its life has stopped, and it is waiting for me to rejuvenate it
I use today’s materials and stories to give it a new life . ”
In order to create the art center in his mind
From the design drawings to the decoration and construction even
the selection of materials was handled by Xu Jinjiang one by one
< p> In fact, when Xu Jinjiang decided to build an art center in Anhuimany people poured cold water on him
telling him that the location was so remote. He will definitely lose money
Regarding the doubts from the outside world
Xu Jinjiang behaved persistently and calmly
He replied with a smile, "If it loses money, I will film and support it."
”
Now, under his careful management
the art center has already hosted many young artists
Every year there are many from art majors
Students come here to participate in the work
Only collect works by artists they like
In addition to creating works
Xu Jinjiang is also a hidden collector
He collects art so much that he can barely get out of it
It’s not just for making money, it’s just because he likes the artist
In addition to having a mentor relationship on his collection list Shan Yue
There are also Li Xiongcai and Yang Shanshen, who are both second-generation Lingnan painters
Chen Yanning, a master of Guangdong oil painting
and others Shi Hu who was "caught" after all the hard work
▲Works by Li Xiongcai
▲Works by Yang Shanshen
▲Works by Chen Yanning
Xu Jinjiang "Star Chasing" Shi Hu happened by chance
Once, he saw the work of the painter Shi Hu in an airplane magazine
He liked it very much and wanted to meet him
After several months of inquiring
almost every place where Shi Hu might appear
Xu Jinjiang finally found Shi Hu in a coffee shop in Zhuhai
< /p>
▲Shi Hu presented Xu Jinjiang with calligraphy
Now, Xu Jinjiang is over fifty years old
Although he has never been the "protagonist" in the film
But he has truly become the director and protagonist of his own life
He has experienced setbacks and had brilliance
Living and creating as he pleases
Going around in circles Transfer
Xu Jinjiang finally found his own happiness in the world of art and found the true self he had lost. He who engaged in art down to earth was still the "young man" who immersed himself in painting. About folk art collection I hope that the following personal opinions will be helpful to the majority of collectors and avoid detours.
Collectors: Treat your own collections rationally and objectively, and do not blindly follow the trend;
Platform: You must respect the objective facts of the collection and sell it as much as it is worth! No fraud;
If there is no problem with the collection, you can consider selling it; choose a platform with real buyers and a guaranteed transaction rate! >
If the collection is no longer good, just get rid of it, and there is no need to mess with it in the future, so as to avoid other detours
Poly is the benchmark for art auctions in the country, and many collectors submit auctions in their own name! No matter how good the collection is, it sets various thresholds for you, but in the end you still won’t accept it! One sentence for everyone: the real transactions of our ordinary collectors are never exaggerated, and it is almost impossible to achieve sky-high transaction prices! It is more practical to actually sell the collection!
Respect objective facts and seek truth from facts. For details, please contact Yongle523
