The sculpture to respect people aesthetic

Yesterday, the famous contemporary sculptor Professor Wu Weishan Provincial Art Museum, the new museum, for the general public to do a seminar on the sculpture's soul ". He talk about the creation and appreciation art of sculpture, ancient and modern examples of outstanding works and trenchant analysis of the problems of contemporary urban sculpture.

As an internationally renowned sculptor Wu Weishan often asked "domestic sculpture and foreign sculpture which one is better", "I can not give a definitive answer," he said, "Art is no absolute standards, the existing space is not the same, different aesthetic, we have to respect that difference. "
Sculpture of China since ancient times, there is a very good, from the ancient image of the wind, the Shang Dynasty secretive abstract wind, the Qin Dynasty decorative Poses forceful impressionistic style of the Han Dynasty, Buddhism idealized shape Wind Song Dynasty secular human pictorial wind, to the Emperor Mausoleum program exaggeration wind, different styles of each era, and has a distinctive ethnic characteristics. "said Wu Weishan.
"What kind of famous sculpture is a real work of art? Critical look at it there is no soul," Wu Weishan presided over creation of Nanjing big massacre victims compatriots Memorial theme famous sculpture, "ruin and death," "refugees," "innocent people cry" a few pieces of work are no The positive performance of the killings, but people's humiliation, cry, the visitors heart has provoked a strong shock. "Whether it is the Chinese people, or foreigners, including the Japanese, can be seen from the condemnation of the war and call for peace." Said Wu Weishan.

Sculpture by the sea and educational reason, 'carving' subtraction 'plastic' do addition, the raw material into a pure art, education is also minus the bad habits, increase good habits, people become a pure people. "said Wu Weishan, a real work of art, can infect humans with artistic spirit, nurturing people, enhance the people.
Now, all over the competition for building sculpture by the sea, Wu Weishan, "in accordance with the law in terms of art, a ssculpture by the sea needs a period of time the grown up, just like a baby, and urban construction fast, the sculpture demand very , so many shoddy works prevalent these artistic, emotional works, it is impossible into the hearts of the people go. "
Some urban sculpture gorgeous, made it difficult for the public to accept, such as the nude buddha statue. Wu Weishan that this is not the aesthetic taste of ordinary people is not high, but the sculpture blindly follow the trend, not taking into account the acceptance habits of the Chinese people. Wu Weishan analysis: "Although the Chinese ancient traditional for God, Buddha statue, but not human statues the foreign Plato, Aristotle and other celebrities there statue, Chinese habits through the performance of the natural landscape to express the human the spirit of the Western spirit of the people and projects directly to the human body. therefore, art, must be the performance of any one country, region meets aesthetic habits of local people. "
Is Wu Weishan most anxiety now the many cities existing outstanding Chengdiao and no good protection. For example, he said, the history of sculpture in China has left a rich historical heritage, but it is often overlooked, city managers and let them slowly disappear under the sun and rain. Many of his sculptures scattered in some cities, however, he found that Wang Xizhi like around filled with trash, let the the transitory man of this Xianqi book holy stink to high heaven, and the hands of Li Bai more than a light bulb, as if the poem The cents singing karaoke OK. He called their construction antique shoddy Chengdiao, better protect the existing outstanding urban sculpture.

Discard the stainless steel sculpture


As urban stainless steel sculpture from the "Flying Goddess" stands in the streets of Urumqi, is transported to the deadpan lying on the truck body full of stainless steel sculptures, bright color.; Said from the first day of the relevant departments, to last relevant departments quietly dismantle, before and after But Shi Yuri.
Most of us have not seen "Flying Goddess" deity, perhaps immersive, in order to really appreciate the local officials said the kind of body full. However, it is also only the local residents of Urumqi most say. However, similar to the "Flying Goddess" urban stainless steel sculpture for each of us is familiar with. Most people have such around the stainless steel sculpture, a huge amount of their body, or showing a distorted geometry, wrapped in stainless steel, stands in the Town Plaza, and high-rise buildings Yu, and even often also become the local coordinates of the center of the city, as a city card printed posters. These stainless steel sculptures are each of us have witnessed. They left us the impression no different with the "Flying Goddess.
The empty, dull, stereotyped common features of these stainless steel sculptures. Before long, we are often surprised at why there is such a discrepancy between the apparent urban stainless steel sculpture construction with its own aesthetic. Urban stainless steel sculpture as part of the city, is mainly used for decoration and beautification of the city, and to some extent even the symbol of the city. Therefore, the establishment is very serious and cautious, usually by administrative departments such as the city government ordered its subordinate organization on art or stainless steel sculpture is responsible for planning, implementing, specially invited by bidding or creative team to complete.

Urban stone sculpture in the country and not traditional, but the 19th century, the exotic. Almost everyone had so naive as to think that the with changing aesthetic orientation of those in charge of the matter of the decision-makers, such urban stainless steel sculpture to become ordinary members of the public to be able to appreciate and accept. But in fact, this is not a simple aesthetic level. In accordance with the general urban stainless steel sculpture design process, you need to go through the design, mud draft, reproduce, on-site installation, garden supporting the construction process. Kampf and the larger the volume multiplied looking through also brings to the doubling of production costs. In general, more than four meters stainless steel sculpture, its production structures already is not a small project. Compared to the realistic style of figurative stainless steel sculpture, modernist style stainless steel sculpture of geometric modeling based production process is quite different. General processing plant can easily turn the system a geometric stone sculpture originals final product as long as simple welding, polishing to complete. Both production costs starker, but because of the particularity of the stainless steel sculpture industry, if not the professionals, the general government budget, audit departments is difficult to see the cost difference between stainless steel sculpture volume amplification Cost multiplied the true magnitude of the increase.

That is why a growing number of urban clay sculpture tend to huge volume, a growing number of lots placed in the geometric shape of the stainless steel sculpture. In fact, urban stainless steel sculpture has formed an invisible industrial chain, people do not survive in this chain who will go to care about the so-called "aesthetic".
We are concerned that the Urumqi's "Flying Goddess" stainless steel sculpture in that it was built in a hurry, rush the demolition. The aesthetic differences become the focus of media attention, and also become reasons demolished by the relevant departments. We puzzled at why the network to denounce the stainless steel sculpture there are only ten days after being quietly dismantled, which seems to prove that the public and decision-makers of the aesthetic differences; more is why so the lack of aesthetic urban stainless steel sculpture openly without serious administrative examination and approval was finally the project. The public supervision afterwards seems to have played a role, however, always feel that what is missing. Although the media reported that parts of the stainless steel sculpture decomposition will be used for other projects, but we are still concerned about the millions of production, the cost of removing exactly who is going to foot the bill?

Explain stainless steel sculpture


The manifestations of the stainless steel sculpture is generally divided into two types: stainless steel sculpture in the round sculpture and relief sculpture of stainless steel.
A stainless steel sculpture in the round sculpture
The so-called hammered stainless steel sculpture in the round sculpture refers to the appreciation of uncompressed multi-faceted, multi-angle 3D three-dimensional sculpture. Practices with a variety of forms, and the realism of the decorative concrete and abstract, indoor and outdoor, shelves with large Chengdiao, coloring and non-coloring, etc.; sculpture content and subject matter is colorful figures, animals, and even still life; material is colorful, stone, wood, metal, clay, textiles, paper, plant, rubber and so on.
    Stainless steel sculpture in the round sculpture as a sculpture of one of the modeling approach, the range of applications is very wide, is the most common form of a sculpture of the people, the book will highlight the techniques of sculpture portrait sculpture in the round.
, Stainless steel relief sculpture
The so-called stainless steel relief sculpture is the product of the combination of sculpture and painting, compression approach to deal with the object, rely on perspective and other factors to the performance of the three-dimensional space, and only one or both sides to watch. The relief is generally attached to another plane, so in the construction use more the APPLIANCES artifacts can often be seen. Due to the characteristics of the compression, the smaller the space occupied, it is therefore suitable for the decoration of a variety of environments. In recent years, it has accounted for an increasingly important role in urban landscaping. Reliefs and bronze sculpture in the round on the content, form and material and colorful.
There are several forms of the shrine style, high relief, bas-relief, line engraving, openwork style.
China's ancient grotto sculptures can be attributed to the shrine sculpture, depending on the modeling approach can be divided into the realism of the decorative and the abstract;
High relief compression small, big ups and downs, close to sculpture in the round, even half of Yuandiao a form, such a relief chiaroscuro strong, prominent visual effects;
Compresses large bas-relief, undulating, both to maintain the plane of an architectural style, but also has a certain sense of volume and downs sense;
Engraved line is a combination of painting and art of sculpture, which rely on light and shadow to produce light is doing it, and even some subtle downs, giving the feeling of an elegant and subtle;
  Hollow carving is the so-called relief of the bottom plate removed, thereby producing a great variety of negative space, and the contour of the negative space and positive space a mutual conversion rhythm. This approach is used in doors and windows on the railings furniture, some available on both sides of ornamental

The art of sculpture craft techniques


Techniques art of sculpture craft sculpture in the round, half-round sculpture, relief, line engraving, Loudiao.
① Not attached to any Yuandiao, background, fully three-dimensional sculpture techniques suitable for multi-angle viewing.
② half Yuandiao, traditional Chinese stone sculpture craft techniques. Performance to sculpture in the round techniques the works main content and image content and image of other minor relief, intaglio techniques, such as performance and as a substrate, some take the raw material as the substrate.
③ relief sculpture out of a plane convex semi-three-dimensional image of the sculpture techniques. The image of the back of the subsidiary from one direction in the plane, suitable for the appreciation. It occupies more space wide range of applications combine both with sculpture in the round, but also suitable for the production of decorative sculpture. The relief is divided into two kinds of deep relief and bas-relief. Deep relief, also known as the high relief, i.e. from the bit line to the relief image plane from the sculpture relief techniques; compared to the maximum thickness of the surface and physical thickness of more than 2/5 of the bas-relief, also known as thin meaning from Sculpture plane from the bit line to The thickness and the physical thickness of the top surface of the relief image, compared to about less than 1/10 of the relief techniques. Relief is also the traditional techniques of Chinese sculpture made in china craft, which overlap the image to the relief between the highest surface relief underlying the relationship of the upper and lower interspersed with far-reaching and plump advantages suitable for the performance more lively, complex scenes such as landscapes, kiosks Taiwan pavilion, markets. Relations viewpoint and embossed surface relief created cavalier perspective, break time and space in the form of a unique artistic perspective. They are different, but the principle of perspective with the focus of Western art is still reasonable, visually rich and perfect artistic effect. Scatter perspective viewpoint is not centralized, but dispersed into the area of ​​the respective image of the sculpture handicraft become numerous dispersion viewpoint, the formation of the effect of each part of the reliefs are flat as. Broken space-time perspective is completely break the constraints of time and space, in accordance with the needs of creative intent, the composition can be in the time before and after a difference of a few hundred or a few decades, thousands of miles apart in space things are arranged in a screen in.
④ line carving, also known as line engraving. Is Yinxian (called intaglio) and the candle raised as the the casting work sculpture means of modeling techniques. Most of the performance of the decorative pattern.
⑤ Loudiao, also known as the openwork. The base or behind the hollow relief. Relief behind the scenes to see from the front through Loudiao space. The Guangdong Chaozhou woodcarving, Zhejiang Dongyang wood carving, ivory carving, Fujian Shoushan stone carving Qingtian stone carvings are Loudiao reflexes.
