Xu Jianguo in the introduction of his paper cutting work
Lu net January 27th news (Shandong commercial newspaper reporter Zhao Tianyi / Zhang Mengyao / map) When the end of the year ends, writing couplets and putting on the window is a great pleasure for people. For most residents, the window can only be bought on the market, but for Xu Jianguo, a resident of the residence of Dali Liu, cutting window flowers is a piece of cake. Paper-cut for nearly 30 years, his works are innumerable. In addition, he also loved painting, music, and versatile Xu Jianguo. His retirement life was full and happy.
there was an occasional chance of an artistic dream to start paper-cut
Xu Jianguo, who was 63 years old, did not know when his own artistic dream started from when. "My father likes to write, and the uncle has the talent for painting. I am impressed by the same way that my uncle often sees a little uncle and a picture of Marx and Engels." Perhaps by the influence of the family, about 1975, Xu Jianguo, who was interested in painting, came to the Ji'nan workers' culture palace to draw a painting of water powder. "Although I did not have a university, I was very fast, and I wanted to go to the oil painting class of the Academy of art." Xu Jianguo told reporters that because he had just soon become a family, learning oil painting needs to buy paper and buy cloth, which is a small investment, and he finally gave up the examination.
in 1984, Xu Jianguo studied enterprise management at the Shandong University of industry and studied law and calligraphy by self-study examination, and has been working in the government department since then. "No more work with art in work." Xu Jianguo said that in his spare time, he often painted oil paintings and gouache, "my colleagues all know my hobby." In 1987, when my colleague got married, I asked Xu Jianguo to help me to cut a word. Although he had never touched paper cutting before, Xu still agreed. "The principle of paper cutting and painting is almost the same, so long as we design it in advance and draw it, do not cut it." One of the words was given to his colleagues as scheduled, but he did not think that the other party was reluctant to put it up. "The colleagues felt good, and they were mounted. Later, someone had to buy it." Xu Jianguo admitted that he was very encouraged by his highly praised paper cutting "virgin show", and he began his paper cutting career since then.
every morning waking up paper cutting works many times award exhibition
from the beginning only one knife slice, even small circle have to burn out with incense, and now can complete the very complicated and complex works, become Ji'nan paper cutting Association members, works many times awards exhibition, Xu Jianguo's achievements are not one day.
now, at 4 o'clock every morning, Xu Jianguo will get up and cut paper. Before Xu Jianguo's "workbench", reporters saw that his paper cutting tools were very simple and even self-made. "This is a blade of a scalpel. I stick it on the saw blade. It's very easy to use." While painting, his "brush" was even more surprising. "It was painted with chopsticks. I never used pencils to draft."
hobbies are many talents, such as willfulness
but in addition to the oil and water paintings that he has been good at, Xu Jianguo also has comic and literary works and is published in the magazine, and he often goes to the big Buddha's head. It is worth mentioning that when Chen Yecui, director of the residence Committee of Dian Liu, visited other cities, he gave Xu Jianguo's Baotu Spring as a gift of friendship. At the same time, Xu Jianguo will go to the hi-tech district chicken mountain primary school every week to guide the children to cut paper and teach their own art to pupils with Chinese traditional culture.
