According to the Jingdezhen Ceramic network is understood nowadays, obsessive contemporary ceramics "fans" in the growing ranks, chatted collection at the beginning, they often tacitly smile, understanding from a common experience: early heart in porcelain, the case After setback, steering contemporary ceramics.
No contemporary ceramic porcelain of brilliant light in the dark, has become a "thumping" porcelain collectors a new choice, why not?
First, some collectors in contact with porcelain, and found "Hou door into the deep sea," not only the genuineness of porcelain is difficult to research, even the team of experts identify good and bad. Senior porcelain collector Wong Ching Chuen passed through such a detour. He laments the modern high imitation goods, not only technical means amazing, but also the psychological moderation is also quite accurate. "Even the size and weight of porcelain imitation takes exactly the same as the Forbidden City, the false than true porcelain Qianlong Qianlong's also fine, really it is difficult to conclude that the gods."
Secondly, today's porcelain collection to fight the economic strength, so many people love it because of a shortage of funds stop. The price of contemporary ceramics and porcelain, compared more easily accepted as ordinary collectors, and can continue to rise to new "play", so that the collection process becomes fun.
After some situation, as early as 2002, Wong Ching Chuen began turning contemporary ceramics collection. Wong Ching Chuen collectors are not the same with the other, he personally went to Jingdezhen porcelain ceramic masters buy a home. Shrewd he soon noticed that these masters are "bad", often frozen own boutique in the "purdah", but only on the outside put some relatively "ordinary" work. This time, he refused to be easily shot down, instead of using devious tactics, ground running Jingdezhen, make friends with the master, and then slowly become familiar with each person's writing style.
Jingdezhen do have a special pot small workshops, Wong Ching Chuen take advantage of these resources to start their own design pot type, then please Masters in the above inscription paint. Each craftsmen are at his request, painted to represent the most distinctive pattern, so people see at a glance who is calling the works of masters. Wong Ching Chuen made a total of two hundred pots, flowers, birds, landscapes, figures and other patterns not identical, lifelike. He also personally designed a special home display pots of exhibition stands, friends to play with that can be directly removed.
Wong Ching Chuen Favorites "category" Unique, since "pot king." He will be "small universe big pot, pot world wide" as a motto, because he knew about the world of contemporary ceramics collection there is still much to explore space, like this pattern in the future will be different collectors in the hands of another.
Play the pattern just getting started for lovers of contemporary ceramics, Dan is slightly higher, how to Amoy to good china is the top priority, this, "pot king" has its own trick-phase grant.
First of all, do not follow suit, not greedy name. It may not be masterpieces pieces are fine, not draw charm copied for everywhere, the pursuit of fine quality collectors may not favor.
So, focus young artists without losing wise. But a new problem arises: Jingdezhen provincial arts and crafts masters title, will be born each year dozens, how to identify their artistic attainments of the abilities?
Wong Ching Chuen After years of trial and error, to find "safe" collection rules: There are inheritance, there are titles and young artists, most potential. Rationale behind that? The senior artists in Jingdezhen Wang Qiuxia, for example, her father was smashing Chinese ceramic art master Mr. Wang Xiliang, and father and daughter and are well-known of the "Pearl Mountain Friends of Eight," the successor. With this home order origins, Wang Qiuxia pastel works tastes, as her work name "Peach Blossom by incense still in the rain," reminisce. Like the young artists like Wang Qiuxia not in the minority, all in personal choice ya good.
In addition to Jingdezhen ceramic artists, the "academic" This creative community can not be ignored. Wong Ching Chuen think, today's "academic" active thinking, not rigidly adhere to traditions of the past, there are many innovations, such as the colorful, pastels and other traditional porcelain to explore, can be described as excellence, continuous hair growth. Today, the university professor and master's works, very popular these days.
China has thousands of years of ceramic history, then in the creation of contemporary ceramics there is much space for expression? It is compared with the porcelain, tradition and innovation has been reflected in where?
To further understand the "heaven and earth", I visited art curator Mr. Yu Honghe, he recently was busily preparing for "porcelain rhyme Chunhua" - Eighth famous contemporary Chinese Ceramics Exhibition.
Through each session of the exhibition, please artists personally live performances, on the Red River on the road of development of contemporary ceramics deeply sentiment. He believes that an artist in order to find their own place, you must combine tradition and innovation go on the road. In the Red River in blue and white, celadon porcelain decoration comprehensive category, the interpretation of the new changes in contemporary ceramics.
Light blue and white: From casual to deliberately pursue
Blue and white porcelain began in the Tang and Song, experienced aesthetic change of different dynasties: the complicated patterns, the level of diversity of Yuan blue and white; neat and delicate, elegant and gorgeous bright blue and white; Lvyi easy, rich themes of clear blue. Until modern times, seems exhausted a variety of styles, a variety of themes blue and white, still in the artist's exploration constantly "amazing" debut, nowadays blue and white, so that people find the traditional and the new era fit.
For example, national artist Mr. Wang Yinquan the light blue and white, bright unique artistic language, especially white underglaze fill skills mature use of three-dimensional space of expression, breaking many traditional restrictions. He attached importance to highlight the lighting effects, shrouded in clouds in his hands the birth of a "steaming Yunmeng" like vivid texture. Wangyin Quan traveled only create their own landscapes, photograph of landscape paintings porcelain "moon pine photos" both real and ethereal, vision, medium shot, close-realistic distinct levels, dim moonlight poetic, like the gurgling water There's an echo. Because the performance of "Rain, snow, fog, night," is very difficult, so the ancients rarely blue creative works such content, but that is Wangyin Quan's strengths.
Wang Yinquan early years under the tutelage of master segment Maofa ceramics, after more than 30 years engaged in stagecraft, and then back to ceramics creation. It is this special stage art creative design experience inspired him to Western painting concepts into blue and white decorative art to form their own unique style. From the initial inadvertently attempt to deliberately artistic pursuit; inherited from the traditional to the fusion of modern art practice, the creation of contingency and necessity like wings, inspired the artist's inspiration for innovation, to enhance the expressiveness of the blue to a new levels.
Celadon: Once again the sheer beauty of filmmaking
Artistic level in the Song Dynasty celadon had reached the limit. Today, the beauty of contemporary celadon why once again touched the hearts of modern man? In the Red River that is its purity brings a sense of calm in the "fancy" ceramic world thriving, but also a scarcity of modern ethos.
In ancient celadon appear often as daily necessities, "destiny" as the ruler of the aesthetic taste and the "ups and downs with the Lord." Contemporary celadon glaze and device type on the ancient with very different, this difference will highlight the contemporary celadon charm.
From the glaze side, than the traditional celadon richer colors. Also plums or powder blue porcelain, is vastly different colors, nuances, see compete. In the birthplace of Longquan celadon, each one is original creators glaze recipes, secret not rumor. Born in a family of Chen celadon phase source, a "eggshell thick enamel" famous. In the history of the creation of celadon, 3-4 mm glaze, firing almost impossible, CHEN Xiang source has inherited his father's "thick enamel" feature, so creative in their own hands reached the pinnacle level. So he's moving color porcelain work, which looks crystal clear and perfect, close-moist jade.
In addition to glaze, the device type, another innovation is the main motive of contemporary celadon. Chen Xiang source to work "tolerance days" for example, it is a very small bottle, but received very imposing; "belly" great spirit of heaven and earth seems to be handling such perfect shape called boutique.
The works of the "high day" creative inspiration from the ancient bestowed reward bottles, but the reward ancient celadon bottle is often used instead of blue and white, like a lotus flower symbolizes as incorruptible. Chen Xiang source comes from the blue and white drawing, with the ancients of meaning, and will become a bottleneck deliberately designed bamboo pattern, so calm and elegant works.
Comprehensive decoration is monochrome, double glaze and a variety of glaze material the use of complex and often combines two or more decorative species, the most common are a combination of blue and white and pastels, pastels, and new color combinations, high-temperature glaze and pastel colors or a combination of blue and white.
Both the performance of the natural flow of glaze abstract beauty, but also depicts vibrant figurative beauty. This combination of modern people, often more flexible than the ancients, aesthetic and more diversified, many of which are never seen in porcelain.
High temperature color glaze porcelain of Jingdezhen porcelains one of the four, glazes produced by high-temperature kiln after bright light color. In the history of porcelain, glaze ware mostly monochrome decor, until the 1970s, before the development of a specific image in the performance and content of glaze techniques. This glaze "rheology, the glaze becomes, the kiln" is often mysterious. To make the glaze clear, structured requires very high technology. In this regard, one must be called Jingdezhen I was born in the water expensive. His early years under the tutelage of Chinese arts and crafts masters Mr. Yu Yangxian, work and the pursuit of ceramic material texture changes,
ceramics info what position on the glaze to flow, flow into what shape the answers, and then according to the shape of the design screen. His work "Heming sky over the mountain red", for glaze control, there is the wonderful talent.
I water the works, often the high temperature color glaze and pastels combine to give a rich color screen, rainbow glazed dream-like, whether it is Spring Hill smile, or Fallen Autumn, has a romantic temperament. This temperament is also a contemporary of the human spirit, reflected in the porcelain, and build a new history.
For the charm of Chinese contemporary ceramics, ceramic LI Ju-sheng had a subtle metaphor, he said, learn Western painting in the creation of life is just a memory, like a beautiful lover pass. Painting no matter how good, is a Western, only ceramic, is Chinese, so instead, abandoned painting ceramics ...... which would reveal the root of the traditional left behind innovation delicate relationship with the times.
