Your photo album may have a photo with the sculpture, but you may not know some of the details of the sculpture in the sculpture. No, the Weibo topic of this newspaper on the 10th is that there are so many ingenuity behind the sculpture of the head of Orange Island, which is on the hot search in the amazement of netizens, and the number of reads on the whole network exceeds 10 million, and everyone calls it "eye-opening" and "knowledge". In this way, the reporter interviewed many staff members to reveal the creation process and cleaning process of the sculpture for you in depth.

"Face washing" and "compressing**" deep beauty took two months.

Luo Meijuan's family lives in Hexi University Town, and she will run three or four times a week in Orange Island, she witnessed the "face-changing" process of the youth art sculpture, and on the 11th, she took a photo with the new sculpture. She laughed, "This 'beauty' effect is so good, it is very new and clean, and the complexion is a few degrees whiter." ”

It is understood that the cleaning and protection of the sculpture began on October 8 and was completed on December 10. Why does it take more than two months to clean up?According to the relevant person in charge of the scenic spot, "although the scenic spot will rinse the statue many times a year, there are still relatively few large-scale and in-depth cleaning and maintenance like this, and the last time was in 2018." This cleaning is divided into three stages, the workload is very large, and the requirements are rigorous and meticulous. ”

The person in charge of the construction of the project said that the first phase of cleaning and protection work began on October 8, starting with the "face washing" of the sculpture with a high-pressure water gun. The second stage is to remove the original sealant of the sculpture stone joints and re-waterproof sealing, first manually shovel with a blade, then polish with a hand grinder, and finally use neutral silicone weather-resistant adhesive for sealing treatment. The last step is to apply a surface coating to the entire sculpture, that is, "apply **".

The most difficult point of the sculpture "beautician" is that the strength of the washing and the speed of the water flow must be strictly controlled. "The surface of the statue was covered with contaminants and the previous coating material, and it was necessary to wash them off without damaging the stone itself," said the technician involved in the construction. He used people's daily teeth cleaning as an example to tell reporters about the process of "washing face", "This cleaning method is like a dentist rinsing a patient's teeth, rinsing the bacteria on the surface of the teeth without damaging the enamel." ”

With the help of "black technology", wind, rain and sunshine have become "cleaners".

In addition to the technique, the "beauty" must also be blessed with products. What "black technology" is used in the "deep beauty" of the youth art sculpture this time?

Our technology and products can make wind, rain and sunlight become the 'cleaners' of sculptures. Lv Cunyang, the technical director of Hunan Feibo Environmental Protection Technology, a local enterprise in Xiangjiang New Area, Hunan Province, introduced that considering the strong water absorption of granite and the changeable open-air environment, the team carried out two major processes of priming and surface coating on the sculpture. First, the hydrophobic and oleophobic coating is used as the "anti-fouling primer" to become the anti-fouling and seepage protective layer of the sculptureThen the granite protective self-cleaning material is applied to the sculpture stone as a "self-cleaning layer", which can form a "lotus leaf" effect after being applied, so that the surface of the statue is as smooth as the surface of the lotus leaf, and dust, impurities and other pollutants are not easy to adhere to.

Lv Cunyang explained: "The self-cleaning coating contains antistatic function, which can make non-sticky sand and gravel dust not easy to adhere to and automatically fall off when exposed to wind. At the same time, the coating can oxidize and decompose organic pollutants when exposed to ultraviolet light. Thanks to the excellent properties of the self-cleaning coating, rainwater can penetrate the bottom of viscous contaminants and naturally wash away dirt. ”

Our experiments and calculations have found that the one-time use of the coating can achieve more than 5 years of anti-fouling and self-cleaning, which can keep the sculpture clean on the basis of reducing the frequency of cleaning. For the use effect, Lu Cunyang is very confident.

It is reported that this "self-cleaning material" has been applied to the GRC plate on the exterior wall of Meixi Lake International Culture and Art Center, Jishou High-speed Railway Station, and Xiangxi Inspiration Square.

"Tyrannical tendons" and "face orientation" ......The creators reveal the details

On the day when the cleaning of the youth art sculpture was completed, the sculpture creator revealed the details behind the creation in the program "Xiangxing Manji". It turned out that the design of this sculpture was made by a person from Changsha - he was Li Ming, the former president of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. The topic jointly launched by this newspaper and Hunan Satellite TV There are so many ingenuity behind the sculpture of the head of Orange Island It was released on Weibo hot search in less than 10 minutes, and many netizens hotly discussed.

"Qinyuan Spring, Changsha" describes the scene of standing at the head of Orange Island and looking at Yuelu Mountain. Many attentive citizens found that the ** sculpture was facing away from Yuelu Mountain and facing southeast. Liming explained, "It is better to face the southeast light, his face is facing the south of the motherland, in addition, I folded my face to the east to moisten the eastern land, so that the Hunan people's "tyrannical tendons" will come out!.""Bamanji" is actually Liming's control and thinking about details, "It is also to highlight the tyrannical spirit of our Hunan people who dare to be the first in the world." Changsha netizen "Hua Li" sighed after reading it, "In my album, there are many photos with *** youth art sculptures, but I have never noticed that there is actually a 'tyrannical tendon' at the neck of the sculpture." ”

The long flowing hair in the sculpture looks cool, why is it designed like this?"This design of mine is a prototype, and it is based on a photo taken in Guangzhou in 1925 to create art. That prototype was more formal because he was photographed in a photo studio. I think he is at the head of Orange Island, he must be unkempt, and his long hair is blown by the wind, so I must restore him. This wind is the cold autumn north wind of "independent cold autumn". Dawn said.

According to Liming, the sculpture is 32 meters high, which represents that this is the node I chose in 1925 when I was a 32-year-old youth, which is to create a unique image of young people thinking about China's destiny. The youth art sculpture is still a little frowned, which also aroused the curiosity of many people, Li Ming said with a smile, "We have revised a lot of drafts in this place, and we have been wrinkling for a long time." Later, through the expression of a slight wrinkle, his thoughts are portrayed, and he is exploring the future of China. ”

Netizen voice] snow: I went to see it half a month ago, but unfortunately it was at night and I didn't see the full appearance of the maintenance covering, even so, I could see the resolute eyes in the gaps.

Xiao: I often run past this sculpture, and I never get tired of looking at it, and it does have a high artistic component.
