Characteristics of folk paper-cutting art

Knife taste and paper feel

A high-quality folk paper-cut art work must have its own style and characteristics. Every art has its own unique style because of its different tools and expressions. For example, Chinese painting pays attention to pen and ink, western oil painting pays attention to color blocks, and woodcut pays attention to black and white. Paper-cutting should pay attention to the taste of knife and paper. Paper-cutting carved by imitating prints on paper with a knife should not be regarded as "good paper-cutting" or a masterpiece. An excellent paper-cut should use the language of paper-cut to shape the artistic image.

(of objects) be ingeniously and exquisitely wrought/carved

A very important feature of folk paper-cut art language is that all images are shaped in exquisite forms. In addition to the performance of paper-cutting tools and materials, this mainly requires that paper-cutting should have the practical demand of "light transmission". Especially "window grilles" require this, otherwise, a black paper-cut posted on the window blocks all outdoor light, which is neither transparent nor beautiful.

Emphasize decoration

An excellent folk paper-cut art work should emphasize decoration. The composition is plain and symmetrical, the picture is balanced and elegant, the line thickness is appropriate, the color is bright, soft and harmonious. In addition, due to the relationship between tools and materials, some unique techniques in paper-cut works (such as "crescent moon" and "sawtooth pattern") are also important factors contributing to its decorative characteristics.

Deformation exaggeration

Folk paper-cut art works should emphasize modeling exaggeration and give consideration to the beauty of silhouette. Any image has some beauty and ugliness. The purpose of artistic exaggeration is to strengthen the factors that highlight beauty and narrow and simplify the factors that are ugly. After exaggeration, the picture will be pleasing to the eye.

It needs rich experience, careful observation and profound understanding of life, and integrates its simplest feelings into it to create excellent paper-cut works of art. It is also for this reason that many people can cut paper, but even fewer people can really cut vivid works of art. Therefore, it takes a lot of efforts to learn paper-cut art. You should not only master the basic paper-cutting techniques, but also learn to observe life and apply it to paper-cutting in order to cut out good works.
