Some reflections on the creation of stranded ceramics Yang Xia

Stranded ceramics creation is different from other kinds of ceramics, modeling is the foundation, technique is the basis of the ornamentation is the soul. Through the art of modeling language, practice the heart of the desire to express and the pursuit of intention. Changes in technique is to improve the artistic effect of the most effective techniques, the expression of the diversity of ornamentation is the soul of the decorative art of stranded porcelain.

A, modeling language

Creating ceramic works of art that speak, first of all, should be rich in modeling expressive, traditional modeling of some scholars and potters summarized as three words, namely, "a, shen, by the" to express the contemporary potter focusing on the use of hyperbole, abstraction, imagery, and symbols to express the elements of the artistic Contemporary ceramicists focus on using exaggerated, abstract, imagery and symbolic elements to express their artistic language. I prefer to integrate traditional modeling and modern ceramic modeling, ceramic language from modeling, decorative, decorative elements of the comprehensive expression, to express their own voice, express the creator's emotions, reflecting the idea of creation.

Design is different from art. Art is very personalized self-expression behavior, while ceramic design is based on problem solving. If art is about style, personality, is a kind of elitism, then I do not oppose it to defend the tradition. But ceramics styling design is different from art, it should speak of modernity, mass follow and lead the fashion trend. The core of popularization is popular, so that ceramic culture more of a commodity. As a cultural phenomenon, modeling design should naturally reflect this cultural characteristic, and should keep close contact with the fashion, only to the public, with internationalization characteristics in order to go to the world with the development of China's commodity economy. We can totally use internationalized symbols, while expressing Chinese thoughts and Chinese culture.

How to utilize the characteristics of traditional plastic arts to express the modern spiritual concepts, how to promote the development of traditional plastic arts in the new knowledge-based economy, and to give it new vitality and new life are the major issues facing the plastic design. First of all, the folk traditional modeling should be based on "design", not the repetition of tradition, nor the reproduction of Europe and America. Secondly, the symbolism of traditional modeling should be fully considered. Again, to grasp the thinking characteristics of traditional plastic arts, to integrate it with modern design more closely, more adaptable to the international trend, is the re-creation of traditional modeling. Make it rich in the characteristics of the times. The introduction of new concepts and ways of thinking, for us to re-examine the traditional cultural concepts provide more space for thinking, and the emergence of new technologies, new materials, but also for the redesign of traditional modeling provides more possibilities.

Second, decorative changes

The technical characteristics of the stranded porcelain is mainly decorative ornamentation, decorative expression from the natural ornamentation and various types of woven ornamentation as the main means of expression, with the use of color and decorative art design, constituting stranded porcelain decorative ornamentation and the language of expression of the aesthetic effect.

First, the natural pattern of weaving. Often in the creation of stranded porcelain that the natural pattern of random compliance with the natural beauty of nature, I think the unique expression of the natural pattern of the need for careful design, the occasional changes in the pattern comes from the design of the natural pattern of the weaving is the pursuit of intentional and infernal between the highest state, is the pursuit of the necessary technical perfectionism of the technical means. The natural pattern is accomplished by the technique of weaving, which breaks through the tradition and makes the artistic effect of the natural pattern colorful.

The second, the diversity of ornamentation. The soul of the creation of stranded porcelain lies in the diversity of ornamentation, which is the core of the stranded tire technique, we summarized the stranded porcelain sixteen basic ornamentation, and the principle of diversity of ornamentation, these are not enough for the creation of the landscape, figures, birds and flowers, decorative motifs, to find the best expression of the effect of variations in the pattern, the need for a longer exploration process in the practice of creation, especially to form the ceramicists have a characteristic ornamental features, is not easy. Characteristic decorative features, not an easy task.

Third, color in five colors. Ink is the basic technique of painters and calligraphers, the color of stranded porcelain to pursue the same ink five-color art effect, otherwise, such a stranded porcelain works on the picture is stiff, the composition of the color is not natural, not to mention the richness of the color and change, the color of five-color in the stranded porcelain to have more performance, we have also solved the problem of the color change approach, the key is to be used in the creation of the key.

The above is the main aspects of stranded porcelain technique to talk about changes, should also pay attention to the creation of decorative design art, decorative ornamentation and artistic expression to be realized in the design. In the line color for change, also can not be ignored, the line of the compound color and multi-color effect is also part of the characteristics of the individual technique.

Three, the creation of breakthrough

Creation is a topic of eternal balance, the creation of stranded porcelain I have ideas, but can satisfy themselves with fewer works, their own creations do not come out, but the idea can still be said, it is only think, no can not be, but it may not be what I can do. Creation depends on breakthroughs, and I think there are a few aspects to consider.

One is the composition of the pattern can be a breakthrough. Japanese stranded porcelain on earth, there are two masters, but also internationally renowned potters, Matsui Yasunari's peony decoration, Iten Akamizu's moonlight decoration, the achievement of their two masters status. Potters in the creation of stranded porcelain in China should be able to be inspired by them and create their own decorative features.

The second, comprehensive decoration can break through. Philosophy on the comprehensive is to create, this sentence put into the same line, we have to stranded porcelain as the basis for the creation of other techniques used in the creation, such as carving, painting, Yan, stranded, picking flowers and other techniques, you can seek a breakthrough in the stranded porcelain creation.

Third, a variety of materials on the breakthrough. In the creation of stranded porcelain, we are mainly ceramic materials, can be combined with the essence, precious stones, gold, silver, glaze and other materials to create works, which can also be considered a breakthrough in the creation of an aspect.

Fourth, in the practical breakthrough. Ancient ceramics invention and development is due to the practical needs of life, I think the direction of modern stranded porcelain works, but also draw from the practical to practical to go, find a way out of life, seek breakthroughs.

Fifth, from other art to find a breakthrough. Stranded porcelain creation is also to be good at learning, especially other art categories, such as wood carving art, stone carving art, glaze art, crystal art, precious stone art, etc., seriously learn, to feel the language, inspired, in the pondering of the stranded porcelain creation inspiration.
