The Year of the Tiger is coming,
This is the year of kings,
It is also a year of hope.
Recently, in Duoyunxuan, Nanjing East Road, people can meet two traditional beasts, tiger and leopard, and they embrace each other in the form of sculptures on the buttons of the double pot of "Yin Hu Tian Wing", becoming a derivative of Nafu Cultural Creation that people love on the eve of the New Year.
More importantly, "the heart has a fierce tiger, and the roses are sniffed", on this pair of purple sand pots, it reflects the skill, pen power and professionalism of the Master of Haipai Art.
Tiger, mighty and strong,
Myths say that it blesses peace and tranquility;
Leopard, brave and sensitive,
The ancients believed in it to attract wealth to Najib.
"Yin Hu Tian Fei · "Love Wing Kettle" selects the Qing Dynasty Chen Mansheng's classic pot-shaped "Half Moon Kettle", the pot button sculpture is a male and female double tiger, affectionately snuggled, it seems to have everything.
The forehead of the male tiger depicts the word "king", the style of the king, so the name "love wing pot".
Hu Xiaomang, the chief planner of "Yinhu Wings Pot", specially proposed: "This pot is alias 'I Tiger U', and veteran fans will smile when they hear it." ”
"Yin Hu Tian Fei · The Golden Wing Pot uses the improved "Jade Pillar Kettle", and the pot button sculpture is a tiger and leopard double male, hugging each other, and enjoying the eyebrows, such as winning the most precious treasure.
The golden leopard body is painted with 24k gold and copper coin shaped leopard spots, which means that the stone is turned into gold, so it is named "golden wing pot", alias "tiger money leopard".
What is even more rare is that Ding Shenyang, chairman of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association, and Zheng Xinyao, chairman of the Shanghai Artists Association, two Artists of the Shanghai School, are happy to put up a pen for this, one picture at a time, and the charm of The small pot condenses the charm of Hai school art.
Counting this year's tiger, Zheng Xinyao has painted six zodiac signs, the other five are chickens, dogs, pigs, rats, and cows, and the style has a stroke and a stick figure.
"Painting animals is actually the same as painting people, and god is more important than shape. Tiger, to draw 'mighty', not 'fierce', although it is only a word difference, but enough for you to ponder for a long time. We painters are expressive objects, not reproducing them. ”
Zheng Xinyao's "Tiger tiger shengwei", from the collection of picture data, ideas, about three months, painted more than 20 shapes, and finally finalized as "the tiger turns back and roars". The dry brush at the tiger's tail brought about an inadvertent change effect, and Zheng Xinyao drew more than ten pictures in a row, taking a relatively satisfactory one, and the whole work was only outlined with five strokes, leaving room for imagination.
Who knows, there is still a gap between the flat effect of the tiger and the curved body of the pot, when the tiger is lofted on the pot, the visual effect is that the tiger's body is shortened, and then through a little fine processing, it maintains the same visual feeling as the original.
Ding Shenyang's calligraphy works highlight a "love" character, and the words are full of strength and freedom.
He is good at cursive and lishu, and his cursive works combine the lines of the seal with the turns of the north stele, and the air is clean and solid. And his lishu works are clumsy and naïve, simple and natural, not exaggerated, not stagnant, thick and vast. Ding Shenyang believes that this cooperation is particularly meaningful to participate in the creation of "Yinhu Wing Pot", "through the art of purple sand, the art of calligraphy and painting is disseminated and integrated into the daily life of the people." ”
The sculpture shape of the pot button "Tiger and Leopard" was designed by Zhang Yongqian, a master of arts and crafts in Shanghai, who spent 4 months deliberating repeatedly, creating nearly 100 drafts before and after, and finally completed the sculpture part of the "Golden Wing Kettle" where the tiger and leopard embraced and the "Love Wing Kettle" where the two tigers nestled.
Hu Xiaomang, who has successfully curated a number of art projects for Chen Yifei, Chen Jialing and Fu Yiyao, a painter in Japan, also demanded purple sand pot works with a perfectionist attitude, he believes that tiger and leopard sculpture, which is both functional and artistic, will be highly artistic in life and integrate art into life.
