英9歲男孩畫作賣高價(jià)不愁房

英國(guó)一名小學(xué)生，人稱“迷你莫奈”，已經(jīng)掙得足夠財(cái)富為家人購(gòu)置了一套房產(chǎn)。

　　A British primary school pupil dubbed ‘mini Monet’ has earned enough to buy a new house for his family.

　　吉爾隆•威廉姆森今年9歲，2008年隨家人度假時(shí)他開始畫風(fēng)景畫，現(xiàn)在竟已收獲國(guó)際聲譽(yù)，賺得15萬(wàn)英鎊在諾?？丝べ?gòu)置了房產(chǎn)。

　　Nine-year-old Kieron Williamson, who has gained international renown since he began painting landscapes on a family holiday in 2008, paid £150,000 for the property inNorfolk.

　　房產(chǎn)在吉爾隆年滿18歲前由信托管理。之前他和父母，姐姐一家人住在一間租來(lái)的公寓里。

　　It will remain in trust until his 18th birthday. He previously lived with his parents and sister in a rented flat.

　　吉爾隆的爸爸基思說(shuō)，“如果吉爾隆長(zhǎng)大后不再畫畫，想做其他的事情，至少他不用再擔(dān)心要還房貸。”

　　His father Keith, 44, said: “If he decides he wants to do something completely different when he is older, at least he won’t have to worry about a mortgage.”

　　去年7月底，吉爾隆舉辦了一次畫展，不到半個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間里，他的33幅畫作就賣出了15萬(wàn)英鎊。

　　Kieron’s last major exhibition of 33 paintings sold for £150,000 within half an hour last July.

　　吉爾隆最新的12幅畫將于本周五在Picturecraft畫廊出售，價(jià)格在1,250英鎊至15,595英鎊不等。

　　His latest 12 paintings go on sale this Friday for between £1,250 and £15,595 at Norfolk’s Picturecraft Gallery.

　　The exhibition is expected to be another instant sellout, with buyers pledging to camp overnight outside the gallery.

　　畫廊所有人阿德里安•希爾說(shuō)，“這個(gè)孩子無(wú)人能比，再也找不到其他小孩，像他一樣使用水彩、油畫和蠟筆三種不同畫法。他已將技術(shù)元素掌握得出神入化。”

　　Its owner Adrian Hill said: ‘He is unrivalled. There isn’t any other child out there who can paint as well in three different media – watercolour, oil and pastel. His grasp of the technical elements really is a wonderful thing.
