exhibition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, she specifically invited her friend from the Chinese painting circle, Qiu Yu, to come and appreciate the painting together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zheng Jing's view, this painting should not remain unknown!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this exhibition, with Qiu Yu, a leading figure in Chinese painting, just a few objective comments could definitely make \"Galloping Horse\" and its creator, Teacher Shadow, famous in one fell swoop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Zheng Jing's goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the staff saw \"Galloping Horse,\" they almost instinctively said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is also a Shadow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words reached his lips, the staff member stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, whatever he said seemed wrong, so he might as well not say anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the people didn't care about the staff member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, everyone's attention was completely captured by \"Galloping Horse\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse was outlined with robust, rounded lines, and the thick ink merged into calligraphy styles of Wei steles and cursive script;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse's head left large white spaces to create highlights, enhancing the three-dimensionality and the solid texture of the head;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using heavy and direct strokes, the brisk touch depicted the robust yet flexibly twisting posture;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body was washed with slightly lighter ink, clearly defining the mass of the torso;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With vigorous lines, highlighting joints and solid hooves;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse's mane and tail were most imposing, with sweeping broad strokes that burst forth with a flying momentum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this painting, everyone instinctively held their breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, for the first time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Luo Cheng and Qiu Yu could speak up, a group of Chinese painting enthusiasts started excited discussions, bringing the exhibition its first climax of viewership!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This painting is amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The muscle lines on this horse are so beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ink rendering is just right, with a spirit that could swallow mountains and rivers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to think that Yulian's 'Tiger Descending the Mountain' was full of momentum, but compared to this painting, that tiger seems to have no momentum at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what you call momentum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elegant and energetic, high-spirited, the background is just a piece of rice paper, yet these few horses bring limitless imagination!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This truly is a great painting that embodies both spirit and form!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The artist with his exuberant strokes fully expressed his emotions, capturing the essence of the warhorses with direct and vigorous lines as if conveying his uncontrollable passion, simply masterful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A masterstroke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Cheng was slightly lost as he stared at this \"Galloping Horse,\" forgetting Teacher Shadow for a moment, his entire mind immersed in the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It completely washes away the mediocrity of all other horses forever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock filled Qiu Yu's beautiful eyes, and after a long while, she uttered such an exclamation, \"I didn't expect to see such a master's touch at this small exhibition, no wonder Sister Zheng esteemed this painting so highly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reaction of the crowd was within her expectations; this painting indeed had the power to enchant those who understood art!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The greatness of Chinese painting lies in its pursuit of embodying nature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Cheng finally came to his senses, he took a deep breath, \"This is why I said before that 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' was not good enough, a truly complete work should be like these horses, which possess everything nature has endowed them with, not only vigorous energy but also a noble spirit, through this painting, we can feel the freedom and passion of the artist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was somewhat overwhelmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This painting almost overturned the traditional techniques of painting horses, expressing realism with romantic ideals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resembling, yet not pursuing complete likeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The painting maintained a realistic style while not losing the traditional Chinese painting's ink charm, arguably portraying the heroic grace and strength of the horses to perfection!\"Who is the artist of this painting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is there no signature on the painting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frustration of the painting enthusiasts over \"A Butterfly's Love for a Flower\" was instantly swept away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, a cartoonist hadn't come out on top at a traditional Chinese painting exhibition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, new perplexity surged within their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a painting without a signature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone tried to look for the artist's introduction at the bottom of the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Cheng and Qiu Yu also looked curious, glancing at the artist's column.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone clearly saw the small font of the artist's introduction beneath the painting, everyone was stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faces frozen, expressions silly, as if locked in time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This painting was also made by Shadow!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jing, with a smile in her eyes, looked at the incredulous faces of Luo Cheng and Qiu Yu, \"Yes, such a painting came from the hands of the cartoonist Shadow, who is a hidden master of traditional Chinese painting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the already known fact was spoken from Zheng Jing's mouth, the scene instantly erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another work by Shadow?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't Shadow a cartoonist!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a perfect traditional Chinese painting was made by a cartoonist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His painting skills are too terrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the cartoonist I remember?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the slap in the face!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just when we encountered a painting better than 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower', this one turns out to be made by Shadow too!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the painters were stunned into silence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cries of astonishment rose one after another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt their conventional understandings being shattered by Shadow's relentless approach!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pride?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taste?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the superiority of these painting enthusiasts turned into a complete joke in front of this painting of a horse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow, oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yu was somewhat lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Luo Cheng's heart, however, a storm surged, his chest heaving dramatically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more knowledgeable the person, the more they understood what this painting meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Shadow truly a genius!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Luo Cheng could no longer entertain the thought of preventing his daughter from considering Shadow as her teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This painting, and even he himself, felt an overwhelming sense of inadequacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even know that his precious daughter had only just found out that this painting was made by her own teacher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Teacher Shadow also has other works on exhibit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Wei's eyes widened upon hearing the answer, then her brows danced, and her eyes sparkled with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Butterfly's Love for a Flower\" couldn't possibly represent the teacher's level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using such a painting in the exhibition would have been far too perfunctory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this painting of a horse again, its level is entirely not inferior to \"Six Shrimps\", and even surpasses it to some extent because the creatures depicted are more complex!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst everyone's shock, this traditional Chinese painting exhibition was completely stirred up by a cartoonist!\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-05T16:38:32.329Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc57b154b127478d9e4a3adc910bec093655361139db874ac11abcf12969f047","all-rounder-artist-chapter-829","all-rounder-artist-chapter-827",1668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-rounder-artist-cover.jpg"]
