Taogu" Industrial Park in Shiwan, Foshan.
In the exhibition hall with more than 1,000 square meters, in addition to the comprehensive display of Mr. Chen Fucheng's brush calligraphy, knife and pen calligraphy, seal cutting, calligraphy and painting transfer, Fucheng teapot (purple clay pot), Fucheng inkstone (literati inkstone), purple clay utensils In addition to hundreds of works, it also highlights a dozen "Fucheng Walls" - hand-carved ceramic tile background walls designed and created by Mr. Chen Fucheng under the guidance of Mr. Chen Fucheng. One of them, called "Yunlong", is hundreds of years old. meters, it’s breathtaking.
According to Chen Zhaotian, the person in charge of Yizhaoge Company, writing and painting on fans, embroidering on clothes...these are all forms of artistic expression in traditional Chinese culture. So how to combine traditional Chinese culture and art with modern ceramic building products, and improve the cultural value and taste of the products by artificially carving various graphics as an artistic language, is a very important topic, because building ceramic products have strong decorative properties. property. As early as the early 1980s, Mr. Chen Fucheng boldly explored this aspect, using a knife as a pen to carve words or paint on 300mmx300mm ceramic tiles, which were then fired and turned into wall decorations for buildings and homes.
Chen Zhaotian pointed to the rubbings of calligraphy works such as "Buddha Speaks of Amitabha Sutra" hanging in the exhibition hall and said: "These are rubbings of works created by Teacher Chen Fucheng in his early years. The original works are distributed in Chongqing, Sichuan, Shandong, Beijing and other places!" According to him, in the 1990s, Mr. Chen Fucheng carved the entire text of "The Analects" on ceramic tiles with a size of 300mmx300mm. This giant work originally came from the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong, but was later lost, which is a pity.
It is understood that at the beginning of the new century, Chen Fucheng was hired as the art director of Marco Polo Ceramics and began his attempt to turn artworks into mass products. He trained many ceramic tile carvers and taught them the knife skills and techniques for carving on ceramic tiles. Kung Fu created a new era for the ceramic tile industry&l"Cultural tiles" is a new category. This tile category has been called wall tiles, handmade tiles, art tiles, etc., and has derived names such as "tile background wall". It can be said that Chen Fucheng is the leader of handmade tiles and background tiles in the ceramic tile industry. The originator and name of the wall.
When asked about the difference between "Fuchengbi" and other ceramic tile background walls, Chen Zhaotian replied: "In addition to being purely hand-carved, Fuchengbi is more importantly named after Chen Fucheng and is based on his artistic achievements. While endorsing intellectual property rights, each product is designed and created under his own guidance! ”
Chen Zhaotian also introduced that Chen Fucheng is a famous calligrapher and seal carver in China. Brush calligraphy, he is good at writing various fonts, both seal and official cursive have their own charm and different styles; he can also use seal and official cursive to write seal and official cursive, and use cursive to write seal and official script, all kinds of fonts, integrate and use them freely, reaching the level of contemporary calligraphy art The pinnacle of creation; knife-and-pen calligraphy, using pottery as paper, breaks away from the craftsmanship methods of carving pottery, engraving steles, and lettering by craftsmen of all generations. It follows the universal rules and basic rules of brush calligraphy creation and integrates brush calligraphy into knife-style calligraphy; "Fucheng Inkstone" uses Xu Gong Stone as the main material for carving inkstones to create literati inkstones that are different from inkstone craftsmen; "Fucheng Hu" uses calligraphy, painting and seal carving on purple clay pots in a creative form and technique that has become a unique style among contemporary purple clay pots. Excellent product, the famous scholar Feng Qiyong once spoke highly of Chen Fucheng's achievements in purple clay teapots as "In ancient times, there were Mansheng teapots, but today there are Fucheng teapots"; Mr. Chen Fucheng's seal cutting works have sharp blades, vigorous brushwork, and free and elegant calligraphy. , and has the charm of sharp swords and pens, which has attracted much attention in the art world. Because of his profound research foundation in ancient characters and creative ability in the art of seal cutting and calligraphy, his seal cutting works can be refined and refined, which is difficult for ordinary seal cutting artists to achieve. It is precisely with the above-mentioned artistic achievements as the base that the artistic background wall form of "Fucheng Wall" came into being.
In the reporter’s view, Fuchengbi is Mr. Chen Fucheng’s use of calligraphy skills to integrate culture and art into ceramic tile wall decorations, showing his personal charm and artistic value in different fields and among different people. Mentioning Fuchengbi immediately reminds people of Heshi Bi. I once read an article saying that there is a rumor in the industry that "there was Heshi Bi in ancient times"., today there is a saying "Fuchengbi". He's Bi is known as the most precious jade in ancient times. Fuchengbi should be the most spectacular and artistically valuable background wall today!
