王雷确实很幸运,每一步都踩到了点上。读书时赶上了好时候,本科考入美院油画系第二画室,当时几乎是两个老师带一个学生。读研究生时,成为丁一林老师第一个,也是那年招的唯一一个研究生,赶在美院扩招之前,受到了最后的精英式教育。王雷卖第一张画是在2006年,卖的是从边疆“放逐”回来之后画的《叼羊图》,那时他刚研究生毕业。2005年,艺术品市场突然火了,王雷赶上了中国当代艺术品市场第一波行情,除了《叼羊图》,其《生生不息》等一系列作品都被买走了。当代艺术市场起来之后,王雷得到一批藏家的青睐,在经济上不用过多顾虑。而且他的藏家都是长期的,这也保证了他能够专心创作,不受太多外在因素的干扰。从本科毕业时的《民工组画》到现在的《九歌》,画大画一直是他的习惯,从来没有为哪个藏家改变 Wang Lei is indeed very lucky, step by step on the point.

In 2005, the art market suddenly burst into fire. Wang Lei caught up with the first wave of the Chinese contemporary art market. Apart from Diao Shepang, his series of “endless experiences” have been bought. After the rise of the contemporary art market, Wang Lei has been favored by a group of collectors without any financial considerations. And his collectors are long-term, which also ensures that he can concentrate on writing, not too much external interference. From the time of graduation, “Migrant Workers Painting” to the current “Nine Songs,” painting a large painting has always been his habit, which collector has never changed
