Woodcarving is a wonderful work in Chinese folk art, and is known as the "treasure of the country". From a geographical point of view, the most influential is the "Four Great Wood Carvings": Dongyang Wood Carving in Zhejiang, Zhejiang Yueqing Weiyin Wood Carving, Fujian Longan Wood Carving and Guangdong Chaozhou Golden Paint Wood Carving. The four major wood carving flows have their own characteristics, and the poplar carvings are more dazzling. The general specifications of the poplar woodcarvings are not large. Most of the traditional themes are characters, and they are mainly carved with round carving techniques.

Wu Yaohui has created more than 200 outstanding works of Yangwu woodcarvings, won more than 50 national, provincial special prizes, and gold awards. The highest award "Mountain Flower Award". In 2018, "Mu Li Qiankun -Wu Yaohui Woodcar Art Exhibition" was successfully held at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. After nearly forty years of study, research and exploration, Wu Yaohui has formed his own unique style in terms of woodcarving techniques, art language and creative concepts.

Art, vividly because of details. "Let everyone appreciate the aesthetic taste, life philosophy, and humanistic feelings of cultural traditions from a classic work. A good work must be both shapely and spiritual. Together or invisible, can not be regarded as a masterpiece. "

In the "Old Memory of the City", Wu Yaohui is based on the old town story of ordinary people, and records the cultural changes in the art of wood carving. The work sets the warm moments in life, moved often, retaining the traces of the years of old craftsmanship, and it is a long time.

The poplar carving works "Sweet Children" and "One Artillery and Red" vividly portray the old market scene scenes of "sugar" and "popcorn". In the eccentric work of the poplar, from the character to the utensils, to the pot, it is large to the stove cabinet.

In Wenzhou, the burden of 馄 is the former "people cafeteria", and the poplar wood carving work "Liu Xiang Fragrance" has a vivid restoration of this old taste. I have a picture

Wu Yaohui said: "I hope that in the creative theme, there are broken and standing themes that have changed the traditional bosom wood carvings to focus on the stenosis of fairy Buddha and the Taoist sanctuary, and make the poplar wood sculpture blend with contemporary art in terms of techniques and themes. One. "

There are broken and standing, using woodcarving arts to express the contemporary spirit

"The manufacturing process of the poplar wood carvings is very complicated. From design to finished products, it takes a dozen processes, and at least forty sculptures are needed during the period. This is difficult to compare with other carving art and cannot be replaced by modern mechanical technology." Wu Yaohui cannot be replaced. "Wu Yaohuihui Say.

"Thousands of Hammer" works "Thousands of Hammer" not only records the daily life of the iron line, but also implies the author's artistic attitude of advocating "thousands of practice".

Round sculpture is one of the main forms of sculpture art in the poplar carvings. The poplar woodcarving works created by round carving technology can be appreciated by "360 degrees without dead ends". This is a sculpture art with a sense of three -dimensional space art. With the movement of the viewing sight, it can produce the "movement and change the scene. "Art effect. This puts forward higher requirements for the design of the poplar wood carving. The four sides must be changed and differentiated, and they must have a perfect perception at each angle.

Wu Yaohui said, "Traditional arts and crafts should not hover at the level of skills, but should pursue the mood. While fully grasping traditional techniques, it should be organically integrated with contemporary consciousness. Go out and become the contemporary art of "enrolling in art". "

The poplar carving work "All -Powerfulness" On the composition, through a gun, the two characters are cleverly connected in series. The curved horizontal gun and the body language of the characters silently express the momentum of evenly matched and very powerful.

On the basis of traditional woodcarving, the Yang Yang woodcarving work "All" also incorporated the artistic method of modern sculpture and won the second Zhejiang Crafts and Crafts Award. I have a picture

"Contemporary sculpture arts emphasize the sense of volume, space consciousness, and visual tension. While the Yueqing Yangwu woodcarms have the sculpture form, they also present two characteristics. One is the rule of sculpting in traditional sculpture, and the other is to absorb the absorption Western realistic styling systems on structure, proportion, and dynamic manifestations. "Wu Yaohui said.

When Wu Yaohui created the poplar carvings, it was grasped these two points by intentionally, so that his works had both traditional art inheritance and the characteristics of modern art.

This tradition and modern collision were reflected in the poplar woodcarving "High Mountains and Flowing Water". The work borrows the allusions of "alpine flowing water", and "alpine" refers to the dragon pot of the high engine, and the "flowing water" is the pouring incense. Experts mentioned in the comments: The poetic lyric of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" works, realistic characters portrayed, and the carved knife swimming in the "pen is in place", and the lines have reached the artistic effect of white painting. The Yangwang woodcarving work "Alpine and Flowing Water" has won the gold award many times, and is now collected in the China Arts and Crafts Museum. The work is based on the performance of Bashu tea art. The knife method is simple and refined, the lines of clothing are soft, and the reality is different, reflecting the elegant connotation of tea culture. I have a picture

The teacher's law is natural, and the poplar wood carvings belong to the past, and it belongs to the present and the future

Yang Yang is a precious wood, with fine texture, clear texture, clean color, and poplar wood growing slowly. Blip -sized yangwangwoods in diameter bowls need a hundred years to make materials, so it is becoming more precious.

"In the long -term creation of the poplar carvings, I have a special emotion to the poplar wood. This emotion comes from gratitude to nature, derived from the depths of the soul. Beware of the emotions of the soul and the creation of nature's creation of nature When resonating, I inspired my creation. "Wu Yaohui said.

In Wu Yaohui's view, "Yangmu's material is very precious, and nature gives them delicate, smooth and warm quality. With the change of the years, its color is more stable, and the light brown has a kind of elegant beauty. This beauty is a one. The beauty of Chinese culture, which is connected with the aesthetic psychology of Chinese people, has the characteristics of simplicity, implicit, gentle, and restrained Chinese traditional culture. "

Li Zehou mentioned in the book "Beauty" that "Chinese art is a line of art." In this regard, Wu Yaohui has a deep understanding. "I especially attach great importance to the shape of the charm of the lines and the line of the line. This method is related to traditional painting and should be regarded as an extension of traditional Chinese culture."

Wu Yaohui said, "If you want this art with a strong traditional culture to move towards the contemporary contemporary, you need to change in the inheritance. The contemporary form should be diverse rather than conservative. "

The Chinese art represented by the poplar carvings of the poplar is rooted in the soil of traditional culture, rooted in the customs of the people, and rooted in people's understanding of life, nature, and social traditions. "The understanding of the art of woodcarving cannot be limited to the traditional level of crafts, because the cultural connotation carried by this ancient arts and crafts category not only belongs to the past, but also the present and the future." Wu Yaohui said. (Correspondent Wang Peiwen Zhongqing Daily · Zhongqing.com reporter Yang Yue)
