Sculpture or Painting? The creativity of a Chinese master Xia Xiaowan difficult to classify by standard methods, since it manages to balance on a fine line without going over to either side. He is one of the few masters of three-dimensional painting, unique, amazing volumetric paintings, similar to holograms. Masters of three-dimensional painting paint their sculptures on glass, on dozens of glass layers-plates, and then demonstrate them in packs in galleries, placing and adjusting lighting at a special angle. By slightly changing the angle or perspective, you can admire a completely different image, amazed at its depth and visual lightness. Although, in fact, this whole stack of glass plates weighs several hundred kilograms.
Blurring the line between sculpture and painting, Xia Xiaowang and his followers create a fundamentally new kind of creativity, allowing flat paintings to go beyond the framework in which the artists have enclosed them, and appear before the viewer in a completely different guise.
Both 3D and 2D paintings by Xia Xiaowang can be seen in his online gallery.
