(text from art-ba-ba reporter 阿提爸爸 )

Is there really a come back of the painting? Damien Hirst just did a painting exhibition, and happy people joyously say that this is a death sentence or conceptual art to itself. In this "Attitude of the Image" there are almost as many professional painters than unprofessional ones. What are the differences between them? Is it that some of the paintings are more flat than other? No! The answer can be guessed from the title of the exhibition, this is not a painting exhibition, but an image exhibition. An exhibition of images with acrylic + lynen. The way you paint doesn't matter much, the key is the image.

So is it painting that step into a dead end, or conceptual art? Warriors from different side depreciate each other. [...] Painting is not painting, image is not image, all the attitudes come from Mr. Zheng!

Careful, not dry!
