The inspiration of paper-cutting to the development of illustration art
Whether it is based on the inheritance of national character or the use of paper-cutting, a folk element of expression, will it give us some inspiration for illustration creation?
The successful case of fashion designer Wu Haiyan gives us a definite answer. “You must first be eye-catching, and then you can skillfully use international popular vocabulary to express the unique aesthetic taste of the nation, and then you can skillfully use the traditional national elements to show the common international aesthetic trend. Only in this way can there be a real dialogue and a truly international relationship. Value." Fashion designer Wu Haiyan said. Just like using her unique Chinese folk language to tell wonderful stories about Eastern countries, and combining patterns with clothing, her artistic language and artistic thoughts quickly gained recognition from society. What is outstanding about Wu Haiyan is that she is good at understanding and utilizing the knowledge and concepts she has learned, and integrating them into actual design practice without neglecting any one aspect. In the collision between tradition and modernity, we take traditional culture as the root, national spirit as the soul, and persist in the narrative nature of patterns. She emphasizes the system, and the core of the system lies in patterns: "I rule the world with patterns, so you can see that everything from envelopes to books to boxes to cushions to clothing is all a pattern. One pattern is in the three major systems of the Eastern Kingdom. Horizontal penetration. Make three points in one pattern to create a design system. The core is the nation, our creation, and the periphery is Asia that I can see, the best things in the East." The patterns are all based on the world. , and is China’s unique wealth, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
Earlier we talked about rescuing and protecting traditional culture, now it is time to inherit and carry forward it. As the saying goes, "Weak countries have no diplomacy." Weak countries do not have the right to speak. As an ancient nation with a splendid history of clothing culture, China should not lose its right to speak in the dialogue in the art world. The acquisition and defense of this right requires us to continue to create conquering works and rely on "action" to obtain "status". Our country has a splendid civilization inherited for five thousand years and a profound traditional culture. This is our treasure and essence, and it is also the capital that our people can be proud of. And currently IThe serious lack of traditional culture in Chinas illustration creation has caused it to lose its originality advantage.
From this point of view, whether Chinese illustration art can also establish an illustration school that promotes its own culture, and inject our unique folk elements - paper-cut patterns into the process of developing Chinese illustration art. Make it unique in the world.
