He laughed and said that he was engaged in iron plate relief creation in these years. Character, followed by skills: "Be kind to be kind and really do things.

Behind the scene:

For more than thirty years, only to make the cold iron board moving people's heart

Holding a hammer with the left hand, the right hand, flipping and carving up and down the iron plate, jingling, and a rampant, the picture of the birth of birth gradually appeared on the iron plate ... Anyone who has seen Guo Haibo's creation of the iron plate relief is praised. Essence

Guo Haibo liked painting since he was a child. When he was born in Zhangjiakou, his paintings were also selected to participate in the art exhibition of Zhangjiakou Cultural Palace. Once Guo Haibo saw the monument of the people's hero in Beijing, he was shocked by the sculpture on the monument at once. Since then, he has a sculpture dream. After the family settled in Shijiazhuang, he began to contact the clay sculpture. But the clay sculpture is easy to crack and difficult to save, and the thought of Guo Haibo, who is so pondered, has the idea of ​​creating relief with copper. Considering that the cost of copper was too high, he finally chose to use iron plates for artistic creation.

The "iron plate relief" has no previous experience to learn from, and it must be explored by themselves. For more than 30 years, Guo Haibo has continuously transformed integration through the concentrated research of metal sculpture art in Chinese traditional folk art and the concentration of Western oil painting and sculpture art, and gradually explored a complete set of iron plate relief art processes. From the design draft, the draft, the outline of the yin, hammer forging, and the level, to the rust removal, blue, grinding, burning, waxing, a dozen procedures, a metallic artwork Above the iron plate, showing the shocking beauty that other materials cannot show.

The iron plate relief from scratch, from the bud to the current leaves, is always inseparable from innovation. Over the years, Guo Haibo has explored a variety of processes such as "finishing touch" and "wax dyeing", which has brought more colors to the iron plate relief, and also made this art more colorful.

"Make the cold iron plate moving people's hearts." It is the ultimate pursuit of Guo Haibo for more than 30 years. To this end, he is diligent in the uncle. It is normal to work for more than ten hours a day. The larger works must knock more than 100,000 to 200,000 hammers to complete. A work of more than one meter takes two to three months. "This is a lonely art. Once you enter the state, you have drilled into this art, as if the world has only yourself and iron plate, and you have forgotten all the hardships you have experienced."

To Guo Haibo's gratitude, after graduating from the university of her daughter Guo Mohan, she took the initiative to take her father's mantle. The iron plate relief works she created were quite personal and were loved by young people. Nowadays, the father and daughter have established platforms such as non -heritage society and "Guo Haibo Tie Boarding Art Museum" in Hebei Industrial and Technology University, which drives more and more young students to approach, understand and learn iron plate relief art. At the same time, Guo Haibo and Guo Mohan jointly wrote the "Guo's iron plate relief production techniques", which further improved the non -remedial theoretical research system, and also allowed the iron plate relief to truly enter the public life.

"Back to Shijiazhuang, I will immediately invest in the creation of new works." Guo Haibo said that in order to welcomes the 20th National Congress of the Party and commemorate the 75th anniversary of Shijiazhuang's liberation, he has brewed some new works.

It is worth mentioning that Guo Haibo's masterpiece studio is about to appear on Shijiazhuang Bayi Temple Pedestrian Street. He is also looking forward to interacting with the public here. "This time I was selected as a master of Chinese arts and crafts, I was great encouragement. I am willing to share the unique charm of iron plate reliefs through more platforms and channels to pass on this generation of craftsmanship." Guo Haibo said.
