[Performance or catastrophe]
December 11th, 2027. The battle between the two geniuses at the Marceau Gallery became a hot topic of Paris.
It was unusual from the start.
Henry Marceau placed a lot of rare jewels on the workbench and sat in front of [Marceau’s jewel] and showed signs of contemplating.
Unable to find a jewel suitable for his emerald eyes, he finally lowered the statue and placed himself on the pedestal.
He showed off his journey up to
“Art is not a work, but an expression of the subject of the person performing it.”
That’s what he said.
Meanwhile, Ko Hun, known for his [sunflower], scolded him, defining his behavior as an escape from reality.
The war of words that broke out when Henry Marceau responded, reached its peak as Ko Hun drew the eyes on [Marceau’s jewel].
Henry Marceau grabbed Ko Hun by the collar and lifted him, and Ko Hun smashed his head into Henry Marceau’s face, causing the exhibition to become a mess in an instant.
This event quickly became a hot topic and was widely reported throughout Europe for two consecutive days.
However, there have been a series of claims that their actions were intended performances.
This was based on the fact that Henry Marceau did not modify or erase the eyes drawn by Ko Hun.
Ko Hun did not sue Henry Marceau for child assault, and Henry Marceau, who had a nosebleed, also did not take any action.
And as a result, thanks to the performance of the two people, the inquiries for the purchase of Ko Hun’s [Guest] and Henry Marceau’s [Marceau’s Jewel] is flooded.
Many added that [Marceau’s Jewel] carved by Henry Marceau and painted by Ko Hun, symbolizes that this exhibition is a joint exhibition between the two.
Meanwhile, the works of the two will be auctioned off by Marceau Gallery later this month.
The news of Ko Hun and Henry Marceau spread beyond France and across Europe.
The journey of a young Artist who is currently in his prime and a newcomer who has just emerged has been covered as the main news by the French state broadcaster Television.
Thanks to this, more than 5,000 people visited the 2027 Marceau exhibition in person on a single day alone, exceeding the range that Marceau Gallery could handle.
I wish I had seen the performance, Damn I missed it.
Isn’t it just a pre-planned performance.
They literally fought. Henry even had a nosebleed.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If it was real wouldn’t they have sued each other.
Ko Sooyeol seemed to be really angry.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I was there, I thought Ko Sooyeol might kill Henry Marceau.
😈😈😈😈Does it make sense for a man in his 30s to bleed his nose after being hit by a nine-year-old boy?
Isn’t he 10 years old?
— He was born in 2018, so 9 years old.
— In Korea, they always add ＋1 to their age, so in Korea he is 10 years old and in abroad 9 years old
Isn’t this just a promotion stunt to promote paintings these days.
Richard Phillips said he wanted to buy [Guest].
This is just an event to sell their paintings at a higher price.
[Guest] is really awesome and it’s understandable.
If you can, make sure to see it. When I saw it, my heart warmed up. It’s kind of heartbreaking and at the same time really nice.
I was touched even though I don’t know how to draw.
It reminds you of Van Gogh, and you’ll be thrilled to know how much Van Gogh loves his paintings.
I also liked the self-portrait of Henry Marceau.
Am I the only one feeling this.? Isn’t Ko Hun cute?
He’s cool!
I like the confidence of that kid.
Since Ko Hun and Henry Marceau, stood in a place where filming was forbidden, the exact conversations they had and what happened was not communicated in detail.
In addition, this incident was not taken seriously because several critics, such as Neil Evans, who saw the actions of the two as an artistic performances.
Rather, thanks to that, more than 5,000 people visited the Marceau Gallery every day to see the works of Ko Hun and Henry Marceau.
Through their reviews, the true value of Ko Hun’s [Guest] and Henry Marceau’s Self-Portrait became widely known.
Among them, the work that received the most attention is none other than Marceau’s Jewel.
[A joint venture between Henry Marceau and Ko Hun).
⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
Michelle Platini, the chief curator of Marceau Gallery, laughed looking at Henry.
“Hahahahahhahahhahhh.”
“Don’t laugh.”
“Oops….buhahhahahaha.”
A 9-year-old child completed Marceau’s jewelry that Henry Marceau couldn’t do.
The appearance was so pleasant to Michelle Platine.
The arrogant, dogmatic, and violent man, even had a nosebleed from the boy’s beating.
There has never been a more perfect situation.
Thanks to this, Michelle couldn’t stop laughing yesterday and today.
“What’s so funny?”
“It’s fun. He did what you couldn’t do in less than a minute.”
Henry Marceau clicked his tongue.
Unfortunately, that was the truth.
The eyes drawn by Ko Hun were exactly what he hoped for.
It was like sound alarm for him, who was only looking for jewels, obsessed with the idea of expressing it as the most precious thing in the world.
“Marceau’s jewel is you.”
The scolding from the kid saying that the painting technique that he had trained for decades was his real treasure still hovered in his ears.
“I can’t believe it. How can you do such a thing?
Michelle blamed Henry.
“What?”
“The child told you what you had to do. But, you ignored and still climbed on the pedestal. Above all how can you grab a kid by his collar even if you are angry?
“The kid touched it first.”
“You said it was useless. You said it was a piece of stone.”
“……”
“Not just running away from your work, you even used violence. You also got beaten up by a kid. When will you grow up?”
“Shut your mouth.”
“You should be ashamed. He’s not wrong at all. You shouldn’t be ashamed of not completing the work, but you should be ashamed for giving up and climbing on the pedestal.”
“Shut up!”
Swoosh
Michelle Platini threw an envelope.
When she encountered Henry’s gaze after seeing it, She spoke what she had been thinking for a long time.
“Find another curator. I can’t work with you.”
Henry Marceau narrowed his eyebrows.
Even if you turn over Paris, there was no place that would treat you as good as Marceau Gallery.
Furthermore, Michelle Platini was the same as the representative of the gallery, both by name and by authority.
Henry Marceau couldn’t believe she was going out.
“What kind of joke is this.”
“It’s not a joke.”
The two stared at each other for a while without conversation.
Then Michelle Platini, who had already cleared her mind, turned around and grabbed her bag.
“Stop right there. Michelle.”
Tack Tack Tack.
“Michelle.!”
Tack Tack Tack.
The sound of her shoes showed no signs of hesitation.
“Do you think what you have is what you have acquired on your own? How well do you think you will be able to live if you leave me!”
Hundreds of millions of euros of assets
Famous and beautiful appearance known around the world.
Henry Marceau thought she wouldn’t leave him, who was perfect in all ways.
As Henry expected, Michelle Platini stopped and turned back.
“Did you think I was with you all this time for your money?”
Michelle enjoyed exhibiting the work of the man named Henry Marceau.
She was attracted to his unique style of painting, and although he was not honest, she was attracted to his inner self which seemed like a child.
When he becomes an Artist and concentrates on his work, there was a great seriousness that was so insistent that it looked cool.
She really liked the appearance of Henry Marceau, the Artist.
Yesterday was just a catalyst.
She was disappointed with him, trying to solve every situation with his background and money.
She neither want to be the Curator of the museum nor to be his lover.
“Let’s end it here.”
She said her goodbye.
Henry Marceau, who was left alone in the gallery, kicked the chair next to him out of humiliation, anger, and betrayal.
⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
Grandpa looked very angry.
“Didn’t I tell you not to get involved with him!”
With a body that is hard to be considered an old man and a face like a tiger, he screams as if my ears would be ripped apart.
He was scary.
“You did.”
“But why did you do that? What if he harmed you? What are you going to do?”
It wasn’t scary when Henry Marceau grabbed me by the collar, but right now, it’s hundred times more scarier.
“I’m sorry Grandpa.”
“And ! Who told you to touch someone else’s work? Even if you can fix it, you can’t do that !”
I didn’t mean to do that from the start, but I did it because he called the beautiful statue ‘a piece of stone.’
But still, That’s something I should apologize for.
“I’m sorry.”
“What would you do if something went wrong?”
“I won’t do that again… I would also apologize to Henry Marceau.”
“Why would you apologize to him”?
This is an unexpected reaction.
“Shouldn’t I…”
“You don’t have to do that !”
The person who was more rational than anyone is saying something that doesn’t make any sense.
“How dare he grab you by the collar? I should have ripped him to death.”
“Don’t do that Grandpa.”
I became scared of Grandpa getting agitated.
It might not be good for his health.
Grandpa took a deep breath.
“Your grandfather will solve the problem, so Hun, write a letter of apology. If you do that one more time, you will make your grandpa upset ! Do you understand ?”
I didn’t know that everything would be solved by just writing a letter of apology.
Is the world going forward or backward.
“Okay Grandpa. I will write a letter of apology to Henry Marceau.”
“What…Why to that m*ther f*cker ! You should write one for your Grandpa.”
Look at the words grandpa who said few hours back, ‘You shouldn’t use bad words’.
Letter of apology. I think I have to write two.
In my previous life, when I made a mistake, it was common to let me starve for a few days. If the mistake was bigger, I even got beaten.
Here, even though Grandpa was so angry, it seems great that he responded rationally with just the letter of apology.
“Grandpa. Are you still angry.?”
When I called carefully, Grandpa sighed, turned towarde me and hugged me.
“No. How can I be angry at my cute little grandson. I’m not doing this because I hate you. It’s because I’m worried about you and want you to be happy.”
He patted me on the back as if he thought, I was scared.
I was scared, but it’s a little different kind of scare.
“I want to meet Henry Marceau.”
Grandpa gave strength to his gentle touch.
“I told you to forget about him! Why don’t you listen to your Grandpa’s words and always make things complicated?
“It’s a waste.”
Grandpa’s facial expression began to change.
“It’s a waste for such a talented person to live like that.”
Even though his character is bad, his senses and skills were real.
I believe he will make a really great work if he continues his art with pride.
If I leave him like this. It will be no different from my old friend Paul Gauguin.
An old friend who was so outstanding but eventually called as trash by the later generations.
“Hun, you can’t fix such a human being no matter how hard you try. He would have got fixed decades ago, if that were the case.”
“There must have been no one who said bitter things in front of his face.”
“Okay. Let’s say that’s the case. But why you should be the one to do that?”
“I like his work.”
I wonder what kind of work he will show in the future.
I can’t give up on him, because I’m looking forward to the new history art, that he might create for the future generation.
“Hun, didn’t you hear Paul Gauguin’s story at the Van Gogh Museum?”
“Yes.”
“No matter how well Van Gogh treated him, he didn’t change. There are times when sincerity doesn’t work.”
As my grandfather said, Gauguin didn’t change and I didn’t gain anything for him.
But for me hating others was something hard to do.
“You don’t have to worry about someone, who you don’t know”
I know…..
I know just by looking at his work.
The background and exterior were so beautiful and splendid, but he is constantly wandering.
He wraps himself in an obsession with being perfect, so he can’t be satisfied with accepting the face that, that’s not the way he looks.
“Just one time. Grandpa”
“No means NO!”
Grandfather opened his eyes wide.
I think he will burst into anger again, at any moment.
I guess I have to stop it here today, since Aunt Mirae said that, if Grandpa gets angry frequently, then the Blood pressure in his body might increase.
