Among them, the name plates of 23 standard subway stations along the line are made of purple sand pottery boards.
Xiaobian can't help but wonder:
What do these purple sand ceramic plates look like?
Purple sand ceramic plate
These purple sand pottery plates are 3 meters long, 1 meter wide and 1.8 centimeters thick, and the front is uniformly decorated with Haipai seal style font and decorated with ceramic carving technology, designed and produced by Jiang Guoxing, the consultant of the purple sand pottery station brand project, the master of Chinese arts and crafts, and the representative inheritor of the traditional storage technology of Yixing pottery in Jiangsu Province, led by apprentice Zhou Jin and others. According to Jiang Guoxing, the purple sand pottery station brand project won the bid in April 2021, and all installations were completed on December 8 of the same year.
Among the 92 station name plates, the "Great World Station" is the most special, which is specially prepared by hand molding of the purple sand mud material, and the whole board is fired into the kiln, as the current "largest purple sand ceramic board station sign" has been preliminarily examined by the Guinness Headquarters of the Great World as "the most guinness of the great world";
The rest of the purple sand station brand is seamlessly spliced and installed using the ceramic restoration technology in the traditional storage technology of Yixing pottery. The implementation of the project has added a beautiful landscape to Shanghai's urban rail transit, and also explored a new path for the integration of purple sand art and "Haipai art", which better demonstrated the charm of Taodu purple sand culture.
Knowing more about these,
Xiaobian is more curious:
As an important urban rail transit line in Shanghai,
Why choose the purple sand pottery board with taodu characteristics as the station name plate?
According to Jiang Guoxing, the integration of purple sand art and "Haipai art" has a long history, and since Gu Jingzhou, Jiang Rong and other purple sand masters have created in Shanghai, purple sand art has begun to be associated with the city of Shanghai.
In recent years, Jiang Guoxing and his apprentice Zhou Jin and others have broken through the specific category of artistic expression of purple sand pots and applied ceramic art to a wider range of fields such as space layout and landscape design. In particular, Zhou Jin has participated in the creation of many subway public cultural and artistic works in Shanghai in recent years. In 2017, she was responsible for the organization and implementation of the art installation "Guqiao Wind" and "Long Street Rhyme" projects at Zhujiajiao Station of Shanghai Metro Line 17; in 2020, she created the large-scale ceramic installation "010" at Guofan Road Station of Shanghai Metro Line 10 and the large-scale ceramic installation "Shengteng Free Trade" at Keelung Road Station, which received many praises from all walks of life.
