Brief introduction to art
Famous inkstone carving artist, China cultural celebrity, master of national ceremony art, member of China Calligraphers Association.
1) Personal profile:
Shenzhen huayi jushiyuan arts and crafts co., ltd was established in 2006. The company mainly designs, produces and sells Duanyan products, including inkstone, Duanyan stone tea tray, home feng shui ornaments and other handicrafts.
The carving creation of Duanyan requires good stone materials, and can only be conceived after a thorough understanding of stone shapes, stones and stone patterns. According to the art of material application, taking the natural stone patterns of inkstone as "clever carving" and relying on traditional techniques to express contemporary themes, the works contain both modern and historical flavor, which is a successful creation. Pay attention to the sublimation of the soul of the work, give priority to conception, give priority to modeling, harmonize artificial carving with natural beauty, and integrate practicality, appreciation and collection. My works, such as "Hundred Blessings Return to the Hall", "Official Fingers at the Sun and Moon" and "Song Mountain Residence", fully embody my artistic characteristics.
Years of experience in making inkstones have made me deeply realize that stones and people are similar, but they are different. Creating my own story for each stone is my fundamental purpose in the modeling and structural treatment of Duanyan's creation, so that people can feel that you are never tired of reading your works, and your works have endless connotations.

3) Duan Yan's experience in designing and carving artistic works.
Experience in design and sculpture
1) Design of Duanyan Stone: The purpose of design is to make the flaws in the inkstone flawless, so as to achieve the icing on the cake and increase its artistic value. The design of inkstone platform requires "composition depends on stone, art depends on material". In addition to the traditional inkstone shape, we should make full use of natural stone skin and integrate the epigraphy of literature, history, calligraphy and painting, which can be said to be an important link to sublimate inkstone into a comprehensive art.
2) Guangdong inkstone is carved:
1. The carving of Duanyan is an extremely important process in the production of Duanyan (quarrying, material preservation, design, carving and box matching). It takes a process of creation, design and carving to make a natural and simple inkstone into a beautiful handicraft. As the saying goes, the jade is not cut, and it is not a tool. If it is not handled properly, it will gild the lily and even make it worse. Therefore, the sculptor should apply art and composition to the inkstone. According to the stone quality of the inkstone, he should get rid of the rough and keep the fine, carefully conceive, and consider the theme, conception, composition, modeling, knife method, knife path and other carving techniques. The carved inkstone should have clear lines, exquisite relief and be clear at a glance. Duanyan carving mainly includes deep knife (deep carving) and shallow knife (low relief) carving, as well as fine carving, line carving and Yitong carving (hollowing out). What carving technique and knife method to use depends on the subject matter, ink stone shape and ink stone style. If you want to be vigorous and bold, give priority to deep knife carving, interspersed with shallow knife carving and fine carving appropriately; To express exquisiteness, simplicity, exquisiteness and implication, shallow knife carving, line carving and fine carving are the main methods. In short, fine carving and line carving belong to the "fine carving" part of "fine carving and fine carving". Fine carving requires precision, accuracy and vividness; Line engraving should be delicate and smooth, complicated but not chaotic, simple and appropriate.
2. Art appreciation is of high value.
The Duanyan stone is buried deep underground, which is the collection of the essence of the sun and the moon for hundreds of millions of years. The aura of mountains and rivers breeds colorful stones.
Product patterns, supplemented by the ingenious carving of sculptors, make it a work of art with high appreciation value, which integrates practicality, painting, calligraphy, sculpture and epigraphy;
3. Deep cultural background
Guangdong inkstone, a national treasure, is a treasure in Four Treasures of the Study, China. Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, which was called Duanzhou in ancient times, appeared as early as the Tang Wude period, ranking first among the four famous inkstones, with a history of 1300 years. Since Duanyan was listed as a tribute in the Tang Dynasty, more than 60 emperors became attached to it, and experienced the use and chanting of dignitaries and literati, which endowed Duanyan with rich and colorful cultural connotations. The use of Duan inkstone is actually endowed with the spirituality of stone, and it is also compatible with water and soil. Only when the five elements coexist can we return to nature. When tasting tea, it can give people a feeling of returning to nature, natural and elegant, so that the culture of Duanyan is in the same strain as the culture of tea, calligraphy and painting in China, reaching the natural realm of tasting tea, enlightening wisdom and self-cultivation;
4. Extraordinary collection value
Duanyan stone is a scarce non-renewable resource, and its materials are precious. In order to protect the resources of inkstone, the state has restricted its exploitation. Moreover, each Guangdong inkstone is carefully designed and processed according to the natural characteristics of Guangdong inkstone, and each tea tray is unique. Therefore, Duanyan is definitely the most valuable and collectible.
