Between the recitation of the knife and the fall is the love of the unity of heaven and man. ” -

Wang Liyuan "Elephant"
Wang Liyuan's "Xishan Retreat"
The way of complexity and simplicity, mutual survival, and the careful and ingenious maintenance of the balance between the two, you can release a different wonderful. Jade carving is also one of the art of complexity and simplicity, and Wang Liyuan is a practitioner of this balance, using his own understanding of jade carving to interpret the balance between complexity and simplicity contained in jade carving.
Jadeite is the preferred material for Wang Liyuan's carving. "Jadeite's sense of color is unmatched by other jadestones, it has the rich colors of nature, and it is endlessly changeable. Emerald's variables are full of mystery, and every moment there may be surprises and endless inspiration. For him, there is no good or bad material, each piece of jadeite has different characteristics, which is valuable for jade carving creation. When selecting carving materials, Wang Liyuan pays more attention to the feeling given by the materials, and picks the improvement space of the materials.
"Fishing alone in the Cold River"
The work "Fishing alone in the cold river" retains the natural beauty of the snowflake cotton material, a large piece of white space, only in a corner depicts the old man fishing alone by the river, the snow is flying in the sky, the old man is fishing safely, and the simple design is a long-term artistic conception. The clean white space gives the material itself the space to play, and also allows the space of the picture to be instantly enlarged; the old man partially uses the carving technique of bas-relief to enhance the three-dimensional sense of space in the way of line and surface combination: the uplifted jaw, beard, and curved eyebrows all show the old man's self-pleasure.
This is Wang Liyuan's work, the blank space is never exquisitely carved, the details are never ambiguous, and the complexity and simplicity are freely scaled in his heart.
Wang Liyuan", "Waves Don't Be Alarmed"
Ten years ago, an anxious teenager, ten years later, a mature young man who calmly expounded his ideas, in ten years Wang Liyuan completed the transformation from the initial repairman to the jade carver. The same work, because of the interest, because of the different objects, the rich and diverse forms of expression, become interesting.

In Wang Liyuan's view: "Excellent works are often the works of love, and between the sword and the fall is the work of love between heaven and man." ”
"Linjiang Immortal"
"Linjiang Immortal" is Wang Liyuan's 2016 work, and won the gold medal of ruili's "Divine Work Award" that year. The work is made of beautiful materials, which are freely retracted between the falling knives, conveying the spirit in the delicate places, and thinking in the blank places. The fishing tree is leisurely, the look is monographed, and the fishing rod in hand seems to be able to see its movement; the meaning is born, and there is no river like a river.

Wang Liyuan's works are mostly pendants, small to see large, relaxed, concise and atmospheric. The exquisite place is exquisite, the concise place is never more than one stroke, shaping the imagination space belonging to the jade carving itself between the square inches, with a heaven and earth in mind, and the meaning is endless.
The ultimate consideration of complexity and simplicity is the jade carver's control of the whole and details of the work, and the first element that impresses people is "whole". "Whole" embodies the theme idea of the work in terms of layout, rhythm and rhythm. But this is only half of the jade carving works, what touches the heart must be the depiction of details, and the details that are deeply rooted in people's hearts often produce the resonance of the emotions of the viewer and the author.
"Return to the Hidden Mountains"
This resonance is expressed in the use of cotton on the jadeite, the work "Guiyin Mountain Forest" visually divides the jadeite into two, the cotton side of the mountains are steep, pavilions and pavilions; the green side of the blue wave cold pool, the emerald reflection point is like the sparkling lake surface, and like the fallen leaves flying above the Junfeng Peak. In the scope of "whole", to pay attention to details, points and lines, lines and surfaces, sparse and dense, empty and real, dynamic and static weaving intersection is the way of complexity and simplicity.

Before understanding the complexity and simplicity, Wang Liyuan also walked through a "detour" of jade carving, and wang Liyuan, who was once a customer, was often influenced by customers to confuse the public aesthetic with modern aesthetics, but gradually he found that this was not the case. Sometimes customers don't really know what they want, they can say what they like, but what they combine is not design.
After understanding this, Wang Liyuan's works began to change qualitatively, focusing on his own creative ideas, and through his own learning and research, he conveyed modern aesthetic trends and true modern aesthetics to customers.
Wang Liyuan's "Cave Buddha Shadow"
Especially in jadeite carving, the beauty of material is the first, starting from the jadeite itself, showing the most authentic beauty of jadeite, excavation is more meaningful than giving. Find inspiration from the material, accept the information of material feedback, physically do not polish the material too much, fully display the beauty of the material, grasp the characteristics of the material in details, and combine the current aesthetic to impress people's hearts. "The creation of jade carving must be a full dialogue between the jade carver and the jade." Wang Liyuan thinks.
