Artists over the centuries have chosen all sorts of seemingly unusual things with which to create their art, from ground-up roots, soils and foods to blood and even urine, as Andy Warhol so infamously proved.
For Matthew Lew, the chosen medium is wine. And his reason for taking the unexpected step is identical to that given by many when asked why they love drinking wine: its terroir. Terroir is the French word for soil, but it means so much more than that. Terroir is a uniqueness rooted in a sense of a place. That’s important to Lew, who began a few years ago to use wines made around the world to link his work with specific geographical areas. " It gives a different essence to the piece, " the Chicago artist explained.
A just completed painting, a Tuscan landscape, used two Italian wines, a 2005 Fresco-baldi Nipozzano Chianti Riserva, and a sparkling non-vintage Canella Prosecco di Conegli-ano. His works are colorful, contemporary, expressive and often bold. Themes range from Buddhas and cityscapes to elegant abstracts. Usually, he’ll mix in a client’s favorite wine to give a commissioned piece a special significance.
Lew is usually more interested in where the wine comes from than how it tastes. That explains the bottle of brownish Cana Wedding Wine, with a label that boasts it’s "a souvenir from the Holy Land, " in his art supply cabinet. He also collects waters from around the world, many of them gifts from friends, to use in his paintings. Lew paints a lot with Rioja, Spanish red, because he lived for three years in Basque country before moving to Chicago five years ago.
The artist really doesn’t use the wine "raw". Instead, he mixes the wine into acrylic paints. Stirring in wine results in a richer effect and a watercolor-like texture, he said. " White wines tend to be a bit more subdued, and I use more paint with them to get a richer tone, " Lew said. "What is great, too, is mixing in a bubbly, like a rose. It gives the paint a really great texture and has a pink tone that stands out better than the white wine.
The wine adds an element of unpredictability too. He’s not always sure what the final color will be. "You never really know what’s going to happen, " he said. "Usually it will not let you down.
The wine Lew paints with is not necessarily the wine he drinks. He likes pinot grigio in the glass, especially Santa Margherita from Italy, but chardonnay on the tip of his paint brush. "Chardonnay has a yellowish tone to it which brings out more of a golden color, while pinot grigio is lighter, I would use it if I wanted something light and creamy, " he said.
Lew likes wine, but he’d rather enjoy a vodka and soda. There were only two wine bottles on hand during a recent visit, both Californian, a 1999 merlot from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and a shiraz from Barefoot Cellars.
Ultimately, he said, there’s no wine too uncool to paint with. [br] If Lew wants to paint a sunset, he should use______.
选项
A、white wine
B、bubbly
C、chardonnay
D、pinot grigio
答案
C
解析
推理题。本文主要讲酒的添加对油画带来的改善,其中色彩的丰富是重要的一方面。第五段后半部分谈到white wine比较柔和,可以使色调丰富,而香槟酒可以带来粉红的效果;第七段最后一句中说Chardonnay可以带来金黄色,而pinot grigio可以用来描绘一些浅色和乳白色的东西,所以Chardonnay被用来画日落是最合适的,故[C]正确。
