Shu embroidery

As soon as Shuangzhentang's voice fell, Master Hao and Zheng Shanshan walked to the podium at the same time.

Shuangzhen Tang smiled and said: "Before the award, I would like to ask Master Hao to comment on our lotus rhyme."

Master Hao carefully looked at this picture of hibiscus. As Master Hao, who is famous all over the world for embroidering hibiscus and koi pictures, hibiscus flowers have long held a certain weight in her mind.

Although she successfully got No.10, Zheng Shanshan was very nervous at the moment. The master who is best at embroidering hibiscus in Sichuan is standing in front of her at this moment. Her comments can completely determine her own kind. Can the embroidery method continue.

About 2 minutes later, like two centuries have passed, Master Hao took the microphone from Shuangzhen Tang, pondered for a while, and then turned around and said to all the contestants on the scene.

"To be honest, if you, Master Tang, hadn't reported the title of this work in advance, I wouldn't have been able to associate it with Furong at all.

I have seen too many well-behaved hibiscus flowers, and suddenly I saw such a strange flower. At this moment, my thoughts were a little messed up. "

Although the final sentencing has not yet been made, the meaning of Master Hao's words is already very clear. Zheng Shanshan looked up at her with great concern. In order to hide her nervousness, she could only grit her teeth silently, waiting for her to continue. go down.

"In fact, I have seen this kind of abstract embroidery technique abroad, it should be 20 years ago! I participated in an embroidery exhibition in the United States.

I have seen a specious embroidery work, with rough base materials, dazzling colors, messy stitches, and even the connectors are completely exposed.

But it is such an embroidery work that I can't appreciate, but it won the gold medal of the exhibition, because the judges said that it is the real beauty, and embroidery should tolerate the existence of flaws, and abstraction and three-dimensionality can better reflect It is a real art to reveal the inner world of an embroiderer. "

Master Hao's words were immediately recognized by many people present. Our embroidery emphasizes delicacy, while Western embroidery emphasizes the freedom of composition and stitching. There is more than one world difference.

After a short pause, Master Hao continued: "At that time, I was young and energetic, and I even protested to the organizer of the exhibition, because at that time I didn't understand at all, the gap between Western aesthetics and us. The difference, I always thought that the so-called real beauty in their mouths was just to cover up their own rough defects.

But later, after I had a deep understanding of abstract art, I realized that abstract art is indeed a beautiful art.

Taking advantage of the fact that there are many embroiderers present today, and most of them are young people, I will tell you the difference between Chinese and Western embroidery. "

As an embroidery master who can achieve good results in the international arena, the name of Master Hao has already been well-known overseas.

The young people present were naturally very happy to listen to her popular embroidery knowledge with everyone. No one had to remind them, and everyone expressed their attitude with applause.

Master Hao made a pause gesture to everyone, and the scene fell silent instantly, and she said unhurriedly: "As a Chinese embroidery with a history of thousands of years of embroidery, I believe that every embroiderer present , We have a deep understanding of our own embroidery characteristics.

Our embroidery pays attention to workmanship, and we generally use the complexity of the craftsmanship to determine the embroidery level, rather than give a value assessment based on the artistic ideology of the work.

Our creative motives and aesthetic tendencies are completely different from those of some western countries. Whether it is the difference in the use of stitches or the objective representation of facts, what we pay attention to is the stylized arrangement, whether it is stitches or embroidery materials. have already formed inherent rules.

Not to mention other embroidery, there are more than 120 kinds of stitches available for our Shu embroidery. This is the inheritance of our cultural skills accumulated over thousands of years, and it is also our pride as an embroiderer.

After talking about our embroidery style, let me tell you about the western style. Their embroiderers regard embroidery as a linear composition, and explore the expressive effect of embroidery, painting and other comprehensive materials between the interlacing and straight lines of lines.

To find the joy of self-creation, for them, the visual experience is not to pursue light, neatness, and smoothness, but to pursue their own artistic ideals, so that the works can show more beauty in the artistic category, thereby removing the stylized and ingenious craftsmanship beautiful quality. "

"Master Hao means that our embroidery focuses on the beauty within the rules, but they have no rules at all, and they just let themselves go and create according to their own preferences.

Turning three-dimensional and abstract into what they call artistic beauty, this is the difference between us and them.

But which of these two different embroidery cultures has more advantages? "

After hearing Master Hao's words, Shen Chuqing felt a sense of comparison in her heart, and couldn't help asking loudly.

Master Hao glanced at her faintly, smiled slightly and said, "Your question is very good, so I will take this opportunity to discuss our current strengths and weaknesses together.

Between art and craftsmanship, because of different values, our domestic embroiderers like to use famous paintings for embroidery, that is, to re-create the original work through embroidery technology to make it marketable Approved fine arts and crafts.

Even the same painting, the same theme, was embroidered by multiple embroidery masters, which resulted in a rather dire consequence. Few of the exquisitely crafted embroidery works on the market represented the personal views of the embroiderers. An original work of art of thought.

As a result, our embroidery, due to the influence of the market, in order to cater to the aesthetic recognition of the public, we embroider whatever themes are easy to sell, and completely lose our personal style. It is difficult to find original works by embroiderers, so that This art becomes a mere inheritance of skill.

The embroiderer himself, who was supposed to give inspiration and thoughts to the work, has also evolved into an embroidery machine, with thousands of hands, embroidering the same works, how is it different from machine embroidery? "

When Master Hao said this, he sighed leisurely, and glanced at the young embroiderers present. It was obvious that many people still took what he said just now to heart.

"However, in recent years, as the copyright awareness of original creators has begun to increase, the practice of embroiderers creating secondary works based on pictorials or other sources of artwork has also caused a lot of copyright legal disputes.

Thus extending a big problem we are currently facing, how to break the boundaries between handicrafts and artworks, and tap the true value of embroidery art? "
