Paper carving school

Engraving paper carving originated from traditional paper carving, and the earliest paper carving works in China were made by hand. /kloc-In the middle of the 0/8th century, paper sculpture brought new life to a group of European artists who loved creation, which was the heyday of a new form of paper sculpture. After that, the schools of paper carving began to be clear. At present, there are three mainstream schools: cubism, experimental school and woodcut paper carving.

Carving paper carving is a process with paper as the material and knife as the auxiliary tool. It uses advanced new flexible paper, carves on the paper with a sharp scalpel, and finally takes shape. In the development process of woodcut paper carving, it gradually absorbed the characteristics of printmaking and meticulous painting, and at the same time, it constantly innovated in content and theme, and finally became its own. Engraving paper carving is a new paper carving creation technique initiated by Wang Liming after years of exploration. Its creative theme is mainly about current events, landscapes and people in China, and it has strong characteristics of China times and folk customs, which is comparable to an "epic" developed in New China. Due to the particularity of creative techniques, block printing paper carving has both the characteristics and advantages of printmaking and meticulous painting. His works are both rigid and flexible, full of ancient meaning, interesting and skillful, and enjoy a high reputation in Chinese and western art circles.

Different from traditional paper carving, engraving paper carving always keeps pace with the times in material selection and creative technology. The author chooses a sharp scalpel to complete the creation, which increases the difficulty of creation, but also makes the work natural and the lines smoother. Engraving paper carving uses new paper as carving material, which has both the toughness of leather and the softness of ordinary paper, making it easier to collect. In addition, according to the background of its birth, the paper prints selected China modern and contemporary military themes and traditional folk totems as creative themes, which inherited and developed the strong local characteristics and national style of folk art and responded to the call of the times. Because of its strong local characteristics, superb artistic expression and profound practical significance, the paper engraving has won many world and national awards and has been collected by major museums. The work was chosen as a "national gift" and presented to the Vienna government. Therefore, Mr. Wang Liming is known as the "Art Poseidon Knife" and "The First Paper-cutting Artist in China".
