Chapter 1 (Preface) "Into the Night"

Ye Guo hasn't been to an art fair for many years, but this one must be seen.

Take the Gangtong bus to cross the border and take more than a dozen subway stops. Today is the last day of the art fair, and it was already afternoon when she arrived, so it was not enough to see every booth, after all, she had a booth that she had to go to, a painting that she had to see.

Before walking into the hall, Ye Guo decided to find a leaf.

It's some kind of superstition, putting a leaf in your pocket is like having a good luck companion. She found an oval-shaped leaf with an irregular withered edge rolled up in a crack in the floor tiles, picked it up and put it in her bag.

There are local galleries in Hong Kong, Europe, and the Americas, and Ye Guo did not stay at any booth, looking for a gallery registered in New York, United States, and this time it will exhibit a painting called "Into the Night".

It was placed in the middle of the booth, and there was an Asian male staff member presenting the background of the painting.

"From Du Fu's "Spring Night Rain", if everyone knows......"

Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.

Ye Guo memorized it in a textbook.

The style of this painting is relatively common, using oil painting to express the artistic conception of Chinese painting, sunset dusk, hazy drizzle, leaving sunset embers on the edge of the horizon, a lake, a person...... It is the most common view, and the special feature is the color, the sky is pale yellow to rose, but the sunset is blue.

In addition to the special color, the technique is also very exquisite, but Ye Guo feels that the brushstrokes are too fine and will reduce the expressiveness, just like the university teacher said, good painting is sloppy three parts.

She is qualified to say this, and she also knows that this painting has nothing to do with "Joyful Rain on a Spring Night", because she has painted an almost identical painting.

"Into the Night" is more than 90% similar to her final "Twilight in the Green".

After the completion of "Twilight in the Green" that year, Ye Guo made a series and hung it in the training school he co-founded at that time, but it was later taken away. She knew about the existence of such a "Into the Night" because a teacher from the Academy of Fine Arts who had been in contact with her told her that there was a United States painter whose works were very similar to hers.

The United States painter, also a Chinese named Chen Ruiqian, is a crossover fashion designer from New York. His father was a Chinese painter in the United States, and Into the Night was his first series in the art world.

Ye Guo sent an email to the email address of the designer's personal website, attaching a scanned copy of the graduation design work at that time...... But she never received a reply.

In addition to the art fair, Chen Ruiqian's paintings were also featured in the autumn art auction in New York the year before last, and entered the secondary market sooner than expected.

The painting, which bears a strong resemblance to another work in the "Twilight in the Green" series, fetched $41,500, giving the designer's crossover work a new price tag on the secondary market.

Someone at the scene was interested and asked if there was a picture in reality.

The staff replied, "It came from his dream." "
