The townspeople who are accustomed to seeing many high, refined and beautiful ceramic art works shown by blue and white, pastel and new color, here, in the face of this rare new variety of ceramic arts and crafts, can not help but feel relaxed and happy. This is Huang Xiangjiu's freehand ink color. The color freehand Chinese painting is vividly and vividly expressed on the porcelain surface, showing the rich ink charm of freehand Chinese painting, and has a distinct effect similar to painting on rice paper. The charm of this novel arts and crafts, giving people the deepest first impression, is the pearl of oriental art Chinese freehand color painting, today in ceramics has been fully reflected.
Huang Xiangjiu's ink color, the ceramic pigment used is completely different from pastel and new color, and it is unique, this new pigment that has been successfully developed by himself for many years is in a glass crystal state on the finished picture, shining, almost a precious and rare enamel color pigment, and the color power is extremely strong. At first glance, the ink and color works on the glaze seem to look like the glaze in the color, but the tone is clearer, delicate and bright than the glaze in the color. After firing, this color is closely integrated with the white tire glaze, which is magnificent and shiny, and has the beauty of inlaid jade Tibetan beads. Its advantage is that the amount of lead dissolved is extremely small, and it can maintain the gloss of color for a long time, and it is better than pastels and new colors in terms of stability of art appreciation value.
After the common new color pigment is painted, the pigment appears thin, the pigment has a sense of frivolity, the texture is poor, and the painting is easy to have the shortcomings of oil dispersion, so it is difficult to achieve the ideal degree of freehand technique. The pigment of ink and color is calm, the color of the freehand art image, the texture is strong, and the repainting and light wiping have a strong deep effect on the back of the paper. Pastel color, there are traditional characteristics, but it is not easy to use pigments to paint directly freehand, Mr. material painting bottom, back cover to fill the color, there will inevitably be artificial knife and axe traces. The uniqueness of ink color also lies in the fact that you can directly use pigments to paint the light and shade of the painting, use ceramic pigments as ink colors, use the pen as you like, and express the image very naturally. The elegant blue and white can only express the artistic effect of freehand Chinese painting, but the colorful ink color will be richer and more colorful than the blue and white porcelain with a single color in the performance image of ceramic art.
Some people commented: Huang Xiangjiu's ceramic freehand ink color, in today's purple and red porcelain garden, unique, is a budding rookie, for the continuous innovation of porcelain arts and crafts to add new brilliance, this is obviously not an exaggeration.
Huang Xiangjiu was born in a family of ceramics and has loved ceramic art since childhood. In the distant past, a maple leaf, a begonia and the fantasy of the ceramic color under the hazy brush of his father had a great appeal to him, and he had a special fondness for Chinese painting. However, in his more than ten years of hard work, he put the development of ceramic pigments in a very important position. He worked hard for the color development of the exported ceramics in the factory; For the successful development of low-lead pigments in our city, he has made great contributions. As a result, he has also received high rewards. An expert in ceramic pigments, but also a talent for painting. The two complement each other, it is really a perfect combination, and it is reasonable to be able to launch ink color. His wish to one day develop a special pigment and paint a better color freehand Chinese painting on ceramics has finally become a reality after many years of hard work and countless failures.
Huang Xiangjiu's ceramic freehand ink and color brushwork are hearty, profound, simple, natural and vigorous, reaching a high artistic realm. The shakuhachi porcelain plate "Rooster Picture" in the accompanying text** has been seen. He also tried to paint the freehand painting of the figures, which is very new, and the painting range of ceramic ink color can involve many flower surfaces such as animals and birds, grass and insects, landscapes, ancient and modern figures, etc., which is in the ascendant. We wish Mr. Wong Heung Kau every step forward.
