Such bold and avant-garde jade carvings are difficult to understand at first glance, but they are endless when you savor them carefully!

Jade is superior to stone because of its texture, color and hardness. It has gone through a long period of time from its discovery to its application. Humans have been carving jade, from simple lines and symbols to complex patterns. Their ideas are progressing and their tools are also being innovated.

The themes have become more diverse, from simple to complex, and from complex to simple, from realistic to abstract. The ideas of jade carvers are also constantly changing. It is their mission to make their works vivid, interesting, and full of spirituality. In this process, jade carvers continue to accumulate and summarize experience, looking for the meaning and fun of creation.

Abstract jade carving is one of them. It is undecorated, simple and natural, just like the freehand brushwork in Chinese painting, which only seeks the beauty of spirit rather than the form.

Today we will appreciate the beauty of abstract jade carvings.

Abstract Jade Carving

It usually directly expresses the essence and internal structure, uses points, lines and surfaces to express the rhythm and rhyme of time and space, and pursues the relative unity of time and space. It expresses the complexity and essence of human thought, and pays attention to ideology and artistry. The key to appreciating abstract jade carvings lies in whether they can arouse the viewer's emotions, generate rich associations, and generate strong resonance and identification.

In terms of materials, abstract works require materials that are closer to perfection, with fewer impurities and cracks, and relatively obvious characteristics. Such works use abstract techniques to give collectors a lot of room for imagination.

Abstract works like this have no concrete expression, but are highly stylized and simplified, which can give us endless imagination and will not become boring even after long-term wearing and playing with them.

Artistic creations are sometimes nonsensical and inexplicable. However, this inexplicable and unfathomable nature of jade is precisely its charm.

A mood, a feeling, a visual tranquility, an inner peace and tranquility. Following the free texture, one reaches the artistic conception of "nothing is something".
