Between Old And New Hit - Chinese Contemporary Ceramic Painting Phenomenon

Ceramic painting and Chinese painting is homologous. The painted pottery has been produced before the "traditional Chinese painting". The historical development of thousands of years down the ceramic painting greatly influenced by Chinese painting. For example, Cizhou kiln's painting on ceramic, it had Li Gonglin and Wu Zongyuan's line drawing"boy fishing painting" and "pearl flower figures to draw on the bottle" Zhao Ji's"Cizhou kiln Zhang made paragraph black bamboo in white pattern pillow "which had the painting bamboo taste. Song dynasty's Royal flowers and birds painting on containers of Cizhou kiln; Since Yuan dynasty, blue and white more have been achieved with ink painting the art of aesthetic orientation, and the Ming and Qing blue-and-white landscape painting on the ceramics was impacted of the landscape painting the achievements by the time evidently. And the late Qing Dynasty Shallow crimson color appears, it is the paintings tremendous impacted by Dong Qichang's thinking: advocating Huang Gongwang , who was one of the "Yuan Four " , used dry ink pen with light and the light red hook cracked landscape painting, hope to achieve as well as on the porcelain.Today, faced with the collision of East and West, traditional aesthetic standards can no longer meet the modern visual experience. Ceramic painting itself as a "traditional" areas, how to development in the modern context of Chinese traditional culture is an important subject in this field. Herbert Reedsaid: "pottery is both the simplest and most difficult in all of the art......."This art is so local culture and the needs can not be separated, that each nation the spirit of the local culture are bound in such media in the search for the performance. There implied that how the China as the issue of succession ancient ceramics nation. Of course, completely separate tradition is impossible. How to utilize and create with today's "Chinese characteristics" painting on the pot has become a ceramists concerns. Pi Daojian,who is a commenter, believed that ceramics such cases the development of Chinese painting with the same breath, he said: "In the spirit of contemporary art in China, on the substance of the old media and the arts of a long tradition of deep broad terms, the attribute of ink painting and ceramics are a similar nature and the same cultural background, are also facing the same problems about collision of Eastern and Western culture in how to make better use of cultural resources, and to capitalize on the trend of modern evolution."Chinese painting, impacted of modern art, has a fundamental change since the 80's. From the early Gu Wenda, Wu Shanzhuang's emergence of water-and-ink devices, till to Wei Xiaorong and Lin Haizhong recording the life by ink, has been differ to the traditional Chinese paintings. And ceramic painting is even more dramatic changes: today's ceramic painting is a process of traditional "ware" concept into a pure "art" . Chinese contemporary ceramic painting not only a breakthrough in the use of glaze, but also directly involved in the design of the shape of the pieces such as Liu Zheng, Bai Ming, Hu Xiaojun, white the pioneer Deng Bai, Chen Ruoju draw their own creative ideas onto the ready-made tiresfrom .Thus, the contemporary Chinese ceramic paintings begin to pay attention to the combination of modeling and painting problems, ceramists are no longer as a worker in the workshop-style in the production line flow, but personally involved in the embryo from the system to the glaze to the painting process of sintering in. Not to "decorate" "practical" as the ultimate goal, they will use sculpture language and the clay characteristics to achieve their own artistic ideas. Contemporary ceramic painting art has become a main branch of the ceramic media, also become a tool for the expression of contemporary artists. Even so, some contemporary ceramists take the whole process as a microcosm of their own life experience, from the election of mud to glaze and firing every full of admiration as well as love of life. A result of the work of contemporary ceramists no longer just a "ware" but be added new content. They are "live", they re zoetic.
