There is a debate over the Grand prize Awards for International Arts by Singer and painter Solbi (real name Solbi).
Solbi was awarded the Grand prize of Honor, Grand prize of the Grand, at the 2021 Barcelona International Arts Award (hereinafter referred to as PIAB21, The Premier International d'Art de Barcelona) held at the Barcelona International Frieze Art Fair (hereinafter referred to as FIABCN).
Solbi was invited to the Event as the main writer and presented a total of 13 points for the "Just a Cake" series "Piece of Hope". In addition, installation works collaborated with German installation artist Choi Jae-yong attracted attention.
"The Artist, who received a high vote from the judges on the dynamic expressiveness and originality, and showed the most discriminatory aspect of FIABCN," said One Robert Emos, a Spanish judge on Solbi.
However, when the news of Solbi's Awards was reported, some current art workers questiOned and controversy arose. Painters Lee Jin-seok and Lee Gyu-One have made strong accusations by arguing such as "Event without authority", "plagiar work" and "excessive Media player".
"FIABCN is considered to be a prestigious art stage that has been in operation for 10 years until this year, opening its first film in 2011 at Casa Bathyo, a masterpiece of architectural art master Anthony Gaudi," said Solbi's agency, M.Crewe.
The agency also released a message of encouragement sent to Solbi by FIABCN's General Art Director Natal Valve. He told Solbi: "We are living in a brutal society with a lot of times, jealousy, frustration and malice. Even if a part of society loses its human values, it must continue to go that way, and express the feelings of The Artist through art, music, and dance. "
"Solbi is proud of the prejudice of looking at himself and is committed to artistic activities," said Emmy Crewe.
In addition, it is said that it will make a hard response to the dissemination of false facts.
Of course, there are a few who advocate Solbi. In this regard, former professor of jinjung-kwon at Dongyang University posted an article entitled "It is a problem to understand the appearance of the US university as a status, and The Artist is not a status but a function." It is not reasonable for Solbi to be criticized for being an art non-major.
Also, actor Ku Hye-sun, who is working as a painter, posted an article that seemed to be able to respond to Solbi through SNS. Ku Hye-sun said, "When The Artist takes out the crystals of his pain and joy out of the world, it is also The Artists' responsibility to know the heart." We are all artists. I want to be a true companion. I will do it. "
