Brick carving artist Pan Mingsheng "art" heart to fight the epidemic

Qingfeng Network News My brick carved tea stove is specially carved to support the hometown Shangqiu to fight the epidemic this time! On the afternoon of January 18, in a studio on Pingyuan Road in Liangyuan District, Shangqiu City, Pan Mingsheng, a well-known brick carving artist in Shangqiu who is a member of the Henan Provincial Writers and Artists Association and a member of the Suiyang District Knowledge Association, is looking down and concentrating on carving his works.

Brick carving artist Pan Mingsheng "art" heart to fight the epidemic

Pan Mingsheng is a craftsman in the ancient city of Guidefu brick carving, and he is busy drawing lines and engraving words on bricks recently. He used a bas-relief process similar to stone carving and seal carving, and carved it with one knife after another.

"Fight the epidemic, everyone contributes!" I can't get on the front line, but I also have to do my part in my own way! Pan Mingsheng said that although he can't rush to the front line of epidemic prevention, he always pays attention to the news related to the new crown epidemic, and he also wants to use his skills to pay tribute to all the medical workers who are on the front line of the fight against the epidemic. It is precisely because of this that Pan Mingsheng came up with the idea of combining anti-epidemic propaganda with traditional intangible cultural heritage brick carving.

Some time ago, he has created ancient architectural brick carvings with the theme of Xi'an's fight against the epidemic, all of which are carved from traditional intangible cultural heritage bricks. Pan Mingsheng introduced that the basic process of making brick carving is divided into tracing, bottoming and routing, the general plan is to first paint the pattern on the brick, and then use the carving knife to polish and dig out some of the blank space outside the pattern, these miniature patterns and images will appear very three-dimensional, and finally refine the details of the entire brick carving. "This is a process that requires patience, but compared with the people who are on the front line of the fight against the epidemic day and night, it is not a hard task."

Because the special texture of the brick is relatively hard, the carving and production is very laborious, although Pan Mingsheng wants to carve more works, the hand freeze is not fast, "a few days of busy survival, there are not many works, a work takes a week, in Pan Mingsheng's view, this is his way of "waving the flag" for the frontline epidemic personnel."

"I carved a piece of anti-epidemic work represented by a tea stove, and I hope that the warm tea stove can send warmth to the hometown anti-epidemic personnel who stick to the front line in the cold winter," Speaking of the content of the brick carving, Pan Mingsheng showed a proud look, "This tea stove is engraved with a slogan to help Shangqiu epidemic prevention, and the brick carving of the ancient city of Guidefu can also become another way of epidemic prevention propaganda!" ”

A brick carving of Guidefu is a lifelike work, and the sonorous and powerful propaganda slogan makes the traditional brick carving a carrier to pay tribute to front-line medical workers, publicize the prevention and control of the epidemic, and become another banner for the whole people to fight the epidemic together.
