【一米之内11】钱昆：画一只自己的貔貅 Painting His Own Pixiu | Chinese Painter

本片是VR180纪录片系列《一米之内 Within Reach》的一集。镜头带你走进重庆画家钱昆的工作室，看他一笔一笔画下线稿，并讲述自己如何从传统人物画走向貔貅题材。
从童年阅读小人书，到学习传统人物画；从一句“年轻人，我劝你不要再画画了”，到在烟台为工艺美术品设计瑞兽，钱昆逐渐找到自己的方向。2011年前后，他以职业画家的身份进入市场，此后十余年持续画貔貅，尝试过凶猛、富贵，也有“萌萌的”不同形态。
这是一场关于传统、市场和个人风格的面对面谈话：当“前人都会像山一样挡住”，一个画家如何找到属于自己的题材，并一直画下去。
This 8K VR180 documentary is part of the Within Reach portrait series. You enter the Chongqing studio of painter Qian Kun, watch him draw each line by hand, and hear how he moved from traditional figure painting to Pixiu, a Chinese auspicious beast.
From reading comic books as a child and studying traditional figure painting, to being told, “Young man, I advise you to stop painting”; from designing auspicious beasts for a crafts factory in Yantai to entering the art market as a professional painter around 2011, Qian gradually found his direction. For more than a decade, he has continued painting Pixiu in many forms—fierce, prosperous, and sometimes “cute.”
This is a face-to-face conversation about tradition, the market, and personal style: when “the predecessors stand before you like mountains,” how does a painter find a subject of his own—and keep painting it?
