On the artistic creation of copper forging
The design and production process of forged copper is full of hardships and fun of creation. Using copper to describe the perceived life, the changing world and express the inner feelings is enough for me to go back and forth happily.
Forging copper, people are used to understand as the art products of machine forging. In fact, the forging copper mentioned in this paper is the forging process of copper plate formed by hand beating hammer. Like human beings, copper has its unique character and quality. It combines hardness and softness, and can contain all the creative passion of artists. It gives artists vast space for artistic creation, and vividly shows the simple and heavy artistic expression to the broad audience. Because the physical properties of copper, gold and silver are the same, they have a very good ductility. Therefore, it has become one of the important production methods and forms of expression of modern murals.
In the long-term practice of artistic creation, I feel that it is difficult to express all my creative passion in graphic works. The virtual and false color space can hardly make my heart vibrate and arouse emotional resonance. Therefore, I feel the charm of copper, the space for my creation, and the inspiration for my creation. The exchange of heart, hand and object unconsciously opens the gate of the emotional world, touching things to generate emotion. In that moment of emotional change, new life is born, It also interprets life and the value of life. With the coming out of the works, I was moved by the tenacity of thin copper plate and the indifference after brilliance. The flaming flame burned all over the body, and then slowly faded quietly... Finally, I lost my original appearance, completed the initial mission, and tempered more tenacious and strong. I was moved by this indomitable spirit and realized my artistic dream. Shen immersed's influence on my works has sublimated the new perception and sensibility brought by the works to me into the philosophical reappearance of re creation, which makes the continued artistic pleasure and the heavy burden of chisels and hammers rising and falling again and again become the source and power of my re creation.
I like to listen to music, fly my thoughts, and enjoy the dreamlike world. Among them, I try my best to integrate all kinds of feelings of life into the creation; I, intoxicated in it, will combine all kinds of feelings that I have had, have not had, and can be touched by my thoughts in the past, now and even in the future into a life symphony with fluctuating melody, which has become the theme of my creation. At this time, everything has become less important, music gave me another creative world, let me full of confidence and hope. His works such as escape, watery woman, heart road, life, photos, etc. were all born in the perception of life and life given to me by music.
In the absence of love, a little emotional knowledge of copper forging art, I entered the gate of the Central Academy of Arts and crafts, and began to study metal technology. Years of edification, so that I slowly infatuated with the art of copper forging, opened the door for me to engage in the creation and research of wrought copper sculpture art. My life in my school days is carefree, full of fantasy and bright sunshine. The work "Fishing Song" is just completed in that kind of secularity. Maybe it lacks some connotation and some accumulation of life, but it is my initial call for life and the crystallization of my painstaking efforts. After graduation, although the work has changed several times, but the pursuit of copper forging art is unswerving. Real life has tempered me and given me a deep space to think about life. When the reflection on human nature and the perception of life are aroused by passion, works full of my life, the true meaning of life and the rich connotation of life come out. It is a self release, a desire and pursuit of life. It contains the truth, goodness and beauty of the world, my dream
There should be innovation in art and breakthrough in creation. Based on my true love for art, diligent pursuit, and exploration and Research on forging copper art, I have explored a kind of artistic expression form of combination of plane and three-dimensional, color and massiness --- foil crystal inlaid copper. Using "life" to express my rebellion against the expression of plane color is not abandoning, but a fusion, a kind of shallow consciousness stimulation, and a kind of re creation of life.
To observe life from the perspective of women and express life with women's sensitivity has always been my creative theme. "Escape" is my exploratory thinking of life, which constructs an empty artistic conception. Women have created the world and nurtured life, but in the face of the burden of life and the crisis of disaster, they face life directly and never turn back to life. They support the oppressed world with their weak arms. They are the strong and the masters of life.
"Photos" uses the expression form of nearly Cubism to explore the source of life vitality. Everyone's growth process is different, and the living environment and times are not the same. Childhood is accompanied by Innocence, leaving fantasy to adults who love life and explore life. The life experience and personal experience constitute the theme symbol of my works. If you can't erase it, a young girl's face reflects a little melancholy, a nostalgia for a good childhood life, and a reflection on life. Every period has its own photos, so is life. The past has been left as an experience, and the future will be like this different language, it will be a great challenge to combine them form a bright and dark spatial relationship, as well as the visual impact brought to people. This is a shocking work, full of confidence and passion!
The next task is how to express my theme more appropriately. The foam board is changed to gypsum material, because of easier to use and the details are more easily portrayed which is more similar to the finished stone effect. This kind of finished work is clearly express my creative point of view.
I remember not long after I arrived in Shandong, Zhao Zhan stroked the work, which is carefully polished with water sandpaper, and suddenly asked me, "Sister Ping, do you feel like crying?" I looked at him disdainfully and said, "no! Beauty is lover's eyes. It's not my work. I have no feelings for her. What am I crying for?" At this moment, looking at his slightly lost and slightly wet eyes, I seemed to understand the meaning of his words. When I do the plaster sample of this works, I take this kind of persistent and rigorous creative attitude, full of passion and dedication. When the works full of emotion and sweat are born in my hands, I hear "so moist, so beautiful, want to cry."
Four days passed quickly, when Billy came to my desk, I knew that my efforts were not in vain these days. Sometimes people have to compete with themselves. When they push themselves to the end step by step, the spark of inspiration will slowly burst out. In fact, pain is also a good medicine. It may be the source of the artist's creation, that is, the soul of the artist's creation.
Continuing my idea of circle, one, two, three… The work was born.
Just two months later, this experience to me is like a rebirth, a voyage of life. He taught me how to think, made me understand the importance of persistence, and how valuable a rigorous creative attitude is.
