Chinese watercolors and painting in style gohua are often the hallmark of Chinese artists, and for good reason - such paintings delight, inspire, pacify and give a lot of positive emotions to all lovers of beauty. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Chinese maestro Ah Xian decided to combine in his work and sculpture, and painting, and a series of his works " China, China"This is exactly the sculpture," tattooed "by painting. Ah Xian loves to work with ceramics, because porcelain is another visiting card of Chinese fine art masters., ornaments, patterns in an easily recognizable style that cannot be confused with any other.
The sculptor was born in Beijing and worked as a simple painter, but always dreamed of becoming a real artist, read books on sculpture in English with a dictionary, and then moved to Australia to live and work. It was difficult, but he coped, and now, far from his hometown, he demonstrates in his works what is called the unification of two cultures. Traditional Chinese painting and classical Western sculpture forms. As if trying to show what it means to be Chinese in the modern world, and that we must not forget who you are, where you came from, and what you carry in yourself.
By the way, it is curious that in China Ah Xian indulged in painting, and in Australia switched to porcelain, but this can be explained by the same desire to follow the traditions of his native people, because porcelain is always associated with China. The interpretation of the extraordinary works of the master is also curious. So, someone says that it smells of politics here (closed mouths and eyes of sculptures), someone thinks that this is an imitation of the sculptural images of Buddha. But the author himself only smiles modestly, saying that good works always force people to argue about themselves, and there will always be a lot of reasons to ask why it is this way and not otherwise.
