【題目】Bringing Light to the Darkness with Crisco Art

Most paintings are best enjoyed in galleries with good lighting. But an Italian artist who goes by the name Crisco is changing the way we look at paintings with a new approach: glow (發(fā)光）－in-the-dark paint.

Crisco's paintings are beautiful in normal lighting, but it is when the lights go down that they really come alive. 【1】 His art mostly shows landscapes. Trees, horizons, and especially starry skies come alive with the glow of his paints. At the center of most of his work, there is often a human or animal figure. The figure may be just a shadow surrounded by the glowing colors, but it often appears to be the source of the light. 【2】

Instead, they are all bright pictures of hope, life, wonder, and growth. They are Crisco's way of adding a little light to the world.

Crisco's full name is Cristoforo Scorpiniti. 【3】Instead of letting a negative experience get the best of him, he threw himself into a new pursuit: art. According to Crisco, he paints with glowing colors to inspire hope. Though his paintings often show night scenes that look good in the dark, Crisco does not focus on the darkness. Instead, he uses his paintings to express positivity by creating light in the darkness.

A lot of his best work has come out of just painting what he felt at the time without any plan or structure. 【4】With over half a million followers on Instagram, Crisco is already popular on social media for his unique paintings. He'll surely only get more famous in the future for his inspiring paintings that beautifully mix darkness and light.

A.In addition to painting on canvas, Crisco also paints on musical instruments.

B.However, no matter what the scene is, none of the paintings focus on the darkness.

C.His paintings take you on an unknown adventure into an unknown space, reminding you to be alert and brave.

D.Through the use of glowing paint, he brings a sense of magic and energy to the scenes that he creates.

E.Studies have shown that expressing themselves through art can help people with depression and anxiety.

F.As a self-taught artist, he found his passion for art at a dark time in his life when he found himself suddenly out of work.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了意大利畫家Crisco不同尋常的繪畫形式---用發(fā)光的顏料來作畫，讓人們?cè)跊]有光的情況下，欣賞他的作品。同時(shí)文章還解釋了為何他會(huì)采用這種畫法的原因以及這些畫所代表的的意義，現(xiàn)在這位意大利畫家很受歡迎。

【1】上一句提到“Crisco的畫在正常的燈光下很漂亮，但只有當(dāng)燈光熄滅時(shí)，它們才會(huì)真正活躍起來�！背薪酉挛模�D選項(xiàng)“通過使用發(fā)光的顏料，他給他創(chuàng)造的場(chǎng)景帶來了魔力和能量”對(duì)上一句其補(bǔ)充說明作用。切題。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】上一句提到“這個(gè)圖形可能只是一個(gè)被發(fā)光的顏色包圍的陰影，但它經(jīng)常看起來是光源”。表示轉(zhuǎn)折，B選項(xiàng)“然而，無論場(chǎng)景是什么，沒有一幅畫聚焦于黑暗。”切題。故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】劃線后一句提到“他沒有讓負(fù)面的經(jīng)歷占據(jù)上風(fēng)，而是投身于一種新的追求:藝術(shù)�！背薪酉戮洹�F選項(xiàng)“作為一名自學(xué)成才的藝術(shù)家，他是在人生的黑暗時(shí)期發(fā)現(xiàn)自己突然失去了對(duì)藝術(shù)的熱愛”中的“對(duì)藝術(shù)失去了熱愛”和后句“負(fù)面的經(jīng)歷”相契合。故選F項(xiàng)。

【4】前句提到“他很多最好的作品都是在沒有任何計(jì)劃或結(jié)構(gòu)的情況下畫出他當(dāng)時(shí)的感覺”承接上文。A選項(xiàng)“除了在畫布上作畫，Crisco還在樂器上作畫”。A項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容和前句表示遞進(jìn)，進(jìn)一步說明Crisco的創(chuàng)作的不同尋常。切題。故選A項(xiàng)。
