The influence of central composition in paper-cutting on ceramic art
The center is the core, which is a concept with universal significance and reflects the basic pattern of time and space. From a macro perspective, objects are organized around a certain core. Central composition can also be called suitable pattern in patterns. However, the central composition in paper-cutting emphasizes that there is a prominent main object in the center, and the surrounding content and form must be arranged around the main object. The subject represented by the main object is definitely the absolute theme thought to be expressed in the paper-cutting behavior. Although other contents are also indispensable, they only play the role of highlighting the main body in paper-cutting. As shown in the paper-cut work "Four Seasons Welcome Blessings", "Four Seasons Welcome Blessings" is surrounded by patterns composed of four groups of bats and Buddhas hands, with the word "Fu" in the absolute center. Therefore, the central composition method emphasizes a center and a theme, which is an ideal way to facilitate artistic and cultural creation.
Central composition is one of the most commonly used composition methods in paper-cutting. It is also a very common composition method in ceramic decoration. It is most common in the round shapes of daily ceramics or display ceramics. As shown in the ceramic work "Source", "Source", this work draws on and absorbs the artistic characteristics of paper-cutting in terms of composition and shape. The clever combination of paper-cut art and modern ceramic art gives the work a strong Chinese cultural flavor. It adopts a central composition method, with the "circle" in the center. The main circle is decorated with folk paper-cut patterns. The contrast between red and white is just right. The simple lines engraved on the periphery highlight the theme, making the colors in the center brighter and complementing each other. The whole work is calm and harmonious, giving people a brand new visual impression. At the same time, this work has important cultural expression and aesthetic significance, expressing a variety of cultural connotations such as auspiciousness and blessing. Therefore, the Juche cultural composition method advocated in paper-cut art plays an irreplaceable role in modern ceramic decoration.
