Artistic feature

Most of the early pyrography works used the combination of traditional Chinese painting and folk painting. Through continuous exploration and practice, artists boldly tried to absorb the expression techniques of western painting and achieved ideal results. The posture, tools, materials, techniques and contents of pyrography have all developed.

Pyrography replaces the brush of traditional Chinese painting with a brand pen, and expands the materials of performing arts from rice paper and silk to bamboo, wood, gourd, shells and other materials. Because the brand pen is a special tool, the materials of performing arts are more extensive. The contents of the works are constantly enriched and innovated on the basis of trying to inherit the traditional colors, mostly classical novels and landscapes, with fresh patterns, elegant appearance and never fading.
