先来看一组黑白“照片”，
是不是觉得拍得还可以？
But if you are told:
It's not the camera that takes these "pictures".
It's a ruler and a pencil ......
And these works are from one person
Prospective Olympic swimmer,
Are you going to be as shocked as I am?
These works are all from Australian girl CJ Hendry,
In 2004, due to injury, he missed the Athens Olympics.
And if you wait another 4 years, you will miss the peak of sports,
Extremely frustrated, she chose to retire,
Instead, he went to university to study architectural design.
I didn't expect to study for nearly a year,
Or not good operation of basic design software CAD,
Not to mention being harassed by professors all day long,
Even her classmates ridiculed her for just having "developed limbs".
In other words, ordinary people may redouble their efforts,
Make a mark to silence those who laugh at her,
But life isn't always so inspirational,
The girl's choice was: give up!
"The software is not good,
Can't I draw it by hand!"
Her painting skills are only at the level of elementary school students.
Resolutely chose to drop out of school.
She wanted to give herself a year,
Let's see how good you can draw.
The work that I just started drawing,
Even she couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw it herself.
But smiling and laughing, she became addicted to painting,
15-18 hours a day,
As soon as she sat down, she forgot about time.
When you get tired, you put on the pillow and hold on for a while.
I'm so tired that I can't do it,
I was willing to take a nap.
After a few months,
She turned out to be a little "perverted" in her own requirements,
Every stitch of engraving, every detail,
She doesn't allow herself room to make mistakes.
By the 9th month,
She couldn't laugh at all,
Because she found her own work
It turned out to be a bit of a realistic color.
What's even more amazing is that
A friend of hers noticed
Hendry hasn't been out much for months,
Specially came to visit the home,
Seeing the paintings on her desk,
It turned out to be an enlarged version of a black-and-white photo.
When Hendry emphasized that this was his own painting practice,
It's not a black and white photo,
Her friend couldn't believe it,
After repeated confirmations,
only "reluctantly" accepted this fact.
This friend who was shocked,
Immediately contacted an art sharing platform privately,
After the person in charge of the platform saw Hendry's work,
It was also shocked and speechless for a while.
"It's not like a painting at all
The work of a girl who is less than a year old,
Every detail is so fine that it touches people. ”
So they decided on the spot:
Funded by the platform to make an exhibition of Hendry's works.
Although there are only a few works,
But each of these took at least 200 hours of Hendry.
Paintings full of heart and emotion,
It was well received and sought after by people at the time of the exhibition.
Someone even contributed $10,000 on the spot,
I want to buy one of her works.
This surprised her,
She never imagined that anyone would appreciate her work so much.
I can't imagine that someone is willing to pay a sky-high price to buy.
Deeply inspired,
And not like some of the artists who were favored for a while
Monetize your work in a hurry.
Instead, it is a return to the original intention,
Walk into your own hut again to polish your work,
That's 10 years.
Every detail is polished to the extreme
Ten years long enough for people to forget her,
Ten years is also enough to send her to the top.
It wasn't until the last two years that Hendry reappeared in the field of vision,
The sheer size of her work is stunning.
Not only LV, Gucci and other luxury goods
She was invited to promote the brand.
Like Kanye, Mayweather, etc
Stars who dominate their respective fields,
She also competed to collect her paintings.
the value of Hendry's paintings,
also from the original "sky-high price" of 10,000 US dollars,
Soared to $50,000.
Even so,
At the Cool Hunter Art Exhibition,
Her paintings are all by the sheikh of Dubai without asking the price,
Buy them all.
She admits that she didn't expect it either,
The original corner,
It has achieved today's peak and loop.
But only she knows best, the premise of all this:
It's thousands of sleepless days and nights like "crazy".
