The creative process of "fan carving" antique jade carving | Wang Qing

raw material

Hetian seed jade, black, yellow and white three skin colors reflect each other, the skin color is full and gorgeous. The jade is delicate, with a little crack and pulp.

Design ideas

With the skin color of the seed material to give shape to the jade carving, the bright yellow part is cleverly carved into a graceful and atmospheric dragon, and the dark black can be transformed into a stone carving. The part produced by cracking and desizing, skillfully casting a clever hand, turns into a gust of auspicious clouds and protects the dragon.

After the design is completed, the detailed work begins. The so-called antique does not specifically refer to imitation, but to draw on the spirit of the ancients to pour the eyes and ears of today's people.

Secondary design, meticulously crafted. In this work, the golden dragon takes off, the ancient stele hangs on the wall, the majestic dragon seems to want to break through the air and fly away, and the ancient humble monument only seems to cover the ground. Half two coins decorate, making the work more elegant. If you look at the fine ornamentation, the clouds and thunder flow, like the flowing water of the clouds. It is indeed a masterpiece that melts the beauty of the picture and the beauty of the artistic conception into one furnace.

implied meaning

Late spring rain overnight, a few green lights. Always after dusk, catch the knife and think of the ancients. Antiques have never been the goal, but they have glimpsed the eyebrows of the ancients. Sit and forget, meditate, and travel to ancient and modern times, and see the ancients stepping on the clouds and coming through the fog.
