我跟朱新建其实不熟,大部分印象也是通过朋友聊天听来的。早先是南方一些作家朋友认识他,说有一个南京画家叫朱新建的,很能聊,话头起来都不给别人说话的机会,一聊能聊好几顿饭。老朱的画有泼皮气,粗鲁生动,这大概是新世纪的新气象吧。这评价有点高,我也心虚,不多聊了,尊重画家也是一个行当,外人多插嘴也招人不待见。 I actually unfamiliar with Zhu Xinjian, most of the impression is also heard through a friend’s chat. Earlier, some southern writers and friends met him, saying that there was a Nanjing artist called Zhu Xinjian, who was able to talk and talk nonsense to others. He could talk for several meals. Lao Zhu’s paintings have an angry, rude and vivid picture, which is probably the new atmosphere of the new century. This evaluation is a bit high, I also guilty conscience, talk less, respect painter is also a business, outsiders are also not waiting to see too much.
