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

you must have requirements for yourself.

and decided to organize an exhibition

Promote talented artists

Over the years, Xu Jinjiang has never sold a painting

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

He said

I knew that we were destined to have a connection

It has been waiting for me, and I am looking for it too

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 Anhui

many 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

Chen Yanning, a master of Guangdong oil painting

and others Shi Hu who was "caught" after all the hard work

almost every place where Shi Hu might appear

Xu Jinjiang finally found Shi Hu in a coffee shop in Zhuhai

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
