Dehua white porcelain and potted plum blossoms are still masterpieces of famous people in Dehua, and he must not give up!
Maybe through him, I can learn a lot of Dehua white porcelain firing techniques again?
You must know that Su Xuejin is definitely a master, regardless of whether he is a modern figure.
He studied clay sculpture and wood carving Buddha statues with his father Su Deming since he was a child. He paid special attention to the art of porcelain sculpture and was good at making various porcelain sculptures in Dehua dynasties. In particular, he carefully studied the works of He Chaozong.
By the way, He Chaozong is also a celebrity in Dehua County Chronicles, and he is a much more famous celebrity than Su Xuejin.
The first person in the art of religious sculpture is not an honorific title that can be obtained by everyone.
His porcelain sculpture works absorb various techniques of clay sculpture, wood carving and stone carving, combined with the characteristics of porcelain clay, and draw on the strengths of each school to form a unique "He School" art.
If there is one characteristic of his works, it is that they are expensive!
As long as it is handed down to this day, He Chaozong's white porcelain works are definitely expensive!
Of course, Chen Wenzhe now doesn't just care about money, he also cares about their skills.
This person should be the only one Chen Wenzhe can confirm to surpass the master and reach the level of grand master.
One is Lu Zigang, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is He Chaozong, the representative figure of Dehua white porcelain.
This is a true master figure because his porcelain sculpture works, especially the various ancient Buddhas and gods he created, can give full play to the "expressive and freehand" strengths of traditional sculpture, subtly expressing the inner world of the characters and full of charm.
A work of this level must be a master's degree.
What's more, he can pay attention to the character's inner expression while also paying attention to the appearance of the clothing lines.
His works show great attention to detail and can generally achieve clear lines, conciseness, gracefulness, variety, softness and smoothness, natural turning, and roundness and strength.
The image created has both common characteristics and different personalities, with both form and spirit. This will definitely reach the master level.
He Chaozong's works are definitely not available in the market now.
Therefore, it is very rare to encounter the work of a compatriot who studied the techniques of He Chaozong in modern times and played the same kind of porcelain as him.
This artist, whose artist name is Yun Yu, has been learning wood carving and porcelain sculpture since he was a child. He has comprehensive skills, especially porcelain sculpture, and his antique works are almost as real as they come!
This evaluation comes from the local county annals of Dehua. It can be seen from this that even in that place where white porcelain masters gathered together, Su Xuejin was very powerful.
Reaching the fake level is definitely not a simple master level. At the very least, craftsmen who have just entered the master level will never be able to make fake fakes.
Looking at the potted sculpture in front of him, Chen Wenzhe liked it more and more.
The body of this porcelain carving is dense and white, with kiln sand at the bottom and flint red in the exposed areas.
The glaze color is white with lake green in it, simple and elegant, and the glaze is as warm and moist as fat and jade.
Just by looking at it a little, Chen Wenzhe can tell that this is a pot sculpture made by Master Su using the original kneading and molding process.
This pot of plum blossoms, in his hands, has pinched roots intertwined, old trunks slanting horizontally, new branches tall and beautiful, the tree is full of flowers, some are fragrant and spitting, or the whole porcelain plum blossom is in bud, the shape is lifelike and unique.
.
This kind of potted plum blossom sculpture should already be the signature work of Master Su Xuejin, and it is definitely the most cutting-edge craftsmanship.
What's more, this pot sculpture also spread his reputation overseas.
Therefore, when making this pot of plum blossoms, he was not only very careful, but even after it was completed, it followed Master Su for a long time.
Not to mention anything else, just the appearance of that plaque should make this pot sculpture more cherished.
After activating the backtracking skill, Chen Wenzhe saw many scenes of Master Su Xuejin's work.
This potted plum blossom sculpture has a bottom basin. At that time, Master Su also made a shape with roots as a base and no basin.
In addition to pot sculptures, most of his works are traditional themes, such as Guanyin in various postures such as standing on a lotus, standing on a fish, sitting on a rock, sending a child, sitting in a draped posture, good at talent, riding a dragon, etc.
There are also Buddha statues such as Tathagata, Maitreya, Bodhidharma, Arhat, Queen Mother, Eight Immortals, longevity star, Magu, Laojun, Jigong, Hehe Immortal, Chang'e flying to the moon, Emperor Wenchang, God Xuantian and others.
There are also historical figures such as Guan Gong, Su Wu, and Yue Fei, as well as ladies such as Xi Shi, Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Concubine Yang.
His works all focus on the depiction of face shape and expression, the lines of clothing are elegant and fluent, the dense and shallow layout is clear, the shapes are vivid, the postures are changeable, the movement and stillness complement each other, and the production is exquisite.
In addition to these normal Dehua white porcelain, every master wants to compare with the ancients, so antique porcelain is essential!
Master Su Xuejin is no exception. His imitations are mainly imitations of Ming Dynasty.
His imitation works of the Ming Dynasty mainly include plum blossom cups, pine and crane cups, Eight Immortals cups, plum blossom goblets, jue-shaped cups, incense burners, vases and other artistic and practical objects.
No matter what they are, these works have one common feature, that is, they are exquisite in shape and detailed in carving.
If it is a bird, its feathers will be fully visible; if it is a human being, its facial features will definitely be clear.
Finally, Chen Wenzhe also noticed that as long as it was his favorite work, there would usually be a seal such as "Yunyu" or "Su Yunyu" or "Boji Fisherman" on the back.
A few have the words "Handmade by Su Xuejin" hand-engraved on the base.
The imitation Ming works are stamped with the gourd-shaped seal script of "Dehua" or the square block-block seal of "Wanli Year System of the Ming Dynasty".
This piece must be his favorite work, so 30,000 yuan is not expensive!
Because this man is the second Dehua white porcelain master to appear after He Chaozong of the Ming Dynasty.
This person's work has been on a TV show, and Chen Wenzhe happened to watch it. Because he likes antiques, he pays special attention to antique programs.
Therefore, it is useful now. He has heard an expert from the Palace Museum introduce this situation in particular.
For example, he pays special attention to the protection of trademarks, so don't think that retaining money is a common thing, but in the hands of others, it is not.
Only his proud works will leave behind Yun Yu and other foundations.
However, if it is a high-quality product, he is particularly satisfied, and it is one of the few with a direct name written in handwriting on the base, which is "Handmade by Su Xuejin".
If it is his work, as long as the word "handmade" appears, the price will definitely be higher, or even double the price.
I don’t know why this pot sculpture is not handmade, but if it has the plaque to support it, the price should be very high.
The price of this piece of work is definitely higher than that of ordinary Buddha statues, such as Guanyin, Maitreya, longevity stars, etc.
Chen Wenzhe knew that a slightly better Dehua white porcelain Wenchang Emperor was priced at 278,000 yuan just because it was made by Master Su Xuejin for overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and had the role of the God of Wealth.
Obviously, the price of this award-winning pot sculpture is higher, and the price must be at least 300,000 yuan.
Therefore, the price of 30,000 is the floor price.
But, why does the porcelain in front of me feel a little wrong?
