Chapter 223 The Eye Is Not Blind
It is hard to say whether the bronze works in the art room plagiarize Duan Xiao's works. After all, in terms of outline, there is at most a bit similarity.
The problem is that the specific shapes are completely different.
So it can only be classified as reference. As for plagiarism, it is the rhythm brought by the Internet. Whoever believes it will be confused.
At least, Deng Shaoying and Director Yang sneered at the accusation of plagiarism.
The two of them focused on looking at the sculptures in front of them. The more they studied them, the more they felt that this sculpture was worthy of repeated appreciation and analysis.
Some things look amazing at first glance, but there is no aftertaste. Some things look average, but they are very pleasing and more intriguing.
"Lu Huaiyong has picked up the treasure." Deng Shaoying sighed a little, and was even more curious: "I just don't know who the creator of this sculpture is?"
"A newcomer?"
Director Yang analyzed: "Which student from the art academy? Or which studio apprentice works? Or which sculptor has learned his skills?"
Famous sculptors basically have their own unique style. However, the two of them did not see traces of famous masters from the sculptures. So they can only guess that this is the work of the newcomer.
Besides, a famous sculptor would not be a big deal.
This is unreasonable and has no reason.
While the two of them were thinking about it, a student couldn't help but lean over and asked for advice carefully: "Dean, is this statue really that good?"
Deng Shaoying looked back and confirmed that he was a student from the Sculpture Academy. Then he said with a stern face: "Okay, can you not appreciate it yourself?"
"I can't even appreciate it, how can I create a good work?"
Deng Shaoying directly named: "Come here, look at the statue carefully, and at least analyze three key points for me. From the visual aesthetics of the shape, to the emotions expressed by the work itself, and the choice of material carriers, analyze them one by one."
"ah."
The student was stunned and hated his excessive talk.
He blinked his eyes, looking pitiful, hoping that Deng Shaoying would change his mind.
However, Deng Shaoying sneered and said squintedly: "If you can't analyze it, go back to school and take the basic course again."
The student immediately shuddered, his mind was shocked, and he said anxiously: "Dean, don't, I'll analyze it immediately..."
He wished he could slap himself, and watched the statue again with regret.
The bronze statue has a rough surface, which is no different from Duan Xiao's style of work.
Using bronze as the carrier as the material for creation is one of the creative methods commonly used by many sculptors. However, different sculptors naturally have different applications of materials.
Some people like to use the luster of bronze to create a shining look. Some people like to use the deep colors of bronze to create the ancient and vicissitudes of the works. Some people like to use the plasticity of bronze to create complex statues...
In short, bronze has a low melting point and a large hardness. It is not as easy to rust as iron and is almost unaffected by the weather. Therefore, bronze material casting and sculptures are relatively common in ancient and modern times.
But how to shape depends on your personal ability.
Mediocre sculptors and bronze works of sculptures have no characteristics at all. A powerful sculptor makes full use of the characteristics of bronze to create his own distinctive style.
Duan Xiao is also one of them.
To be honest, his bronze works have their own characteristics. This is why he developed smoothly abroad.
It just so happened that this student also knew the style characteristics of Duan Xiao’s works.
For example, after casting a work, it is like to deliberately corrode the surface of the bronze to create a bumpy and rough surface. Whether it is a sculpture of a person, an animal or a plant sculpture, it is basically handled in this way.
I don’t know what mentality Duan Xiao handled bronze works like this. Perhaps it was for art, perhaps for innovation, or for anti-counterfeiting...
No matter what the reason, Duan Xiao succeeded anyway, which consolidated everyone's impression. When he mentioned his works, his first reaction was roughness.
The works in front of you are also rough.
The problem was that the student reached out and touched the statue, but found that the roughness of the sculpture was not corroded, but the traces left by nature when casting.
No polishing, polishing, handling details.
The student walked around and looked at the statue from different angles. Unpredictable, he stopped and exclaimed.
"I know, why do some people think that this statue is a copy of Duan Xiao."
The student whispered: "A few days ago, Duan Xiao's bronze works, the journey of life, were exhibited at Honggui Mall, and I have also seen them."
"The emotion that the work focuses on expressing should be that the pain, struggle and hardship experienced in life will be clearly reflected in the body during the journey, so the shape of the work will be so exaggerated and separated from the body."
The student said: "But this work is different. The bronze statue has a very standard shape and its muscles are so tense that the body shrinks and bends into a ball."
"But from the frown brows and facial features that are twisted into a hemp rope, you can also feel the pain of the characters. Such facial expressions are exactly the same as the journey of life."
The student speculated: "Maybe it is this reason that this work is suspected of plagiarism. But... the turning point is coming, I want to say but..."
The student turned around and looked at Deng Shaoying: "Dean, I feel a little bit. It seems that the emotions conveyed by this bronze work seem to be richer than the journey of life."
"Ha ha!"
Deng Shaoying suddenly laughed and his tone was a little relieved: "Fortunately, I'm not blind, I'm saved."
“…”
The student laughed and touched his head, and I endured it.
"Continue."
Deng Shaoying urged: "Analysis, why do you think the sculpture in front of you has richer feelings?"
"Well."
The student was stunned and then hurriedly said: "I think Duan Xiao's works are too deliberate when expressing the emotions of the works. He used exaggerated means to create an exaggerated body shape. People who liked may think that his shape is bold and specific impact. People who don't like can think that his sword is in a different direction and his shape is too extreme and not likable.
"In contrast, the work in front of me is more natural in shape."
The student commented: "The most important thing is that the facial features and emotions of the sculpted characters are restrained, deep, subtle, and more in line with the public and mainstream aesthetic tastes."
"The exaggerated shape may have visual impact. But for some reason, I think that in comparison, bronze works created by normal means are more attractive."
