actually,

Such amazing makeup changing techniques,

There are also jade carvers,

That's rework!

How magical is it?

Let’s take a look together below~

This is a Guanyin that is about to be completed. At first glance, it looks ordinary and popular, but the collector who ordered this work is not satisfied, thinking that "there is nothing eye-catching, it is too traditional and lacks some charm."

Later, the collector found the jade carving master, Zou Wantong, to modify the work.

Renovation of the head

Let’s first look at the halo (a professional term for Buddhist statues).

▲Before renovation

The original design was like a sun, without flames and with a simple pattern .

▲After renovation

The modified halo is closer to the Buddha statue, with flames and changed patterns, making it look much more refined.

Let's look at the facial features

▲After renovation

Zou Wantong believes that "Guanyin is kind and should not give people a sense of distance, and the communication with the viewer should be cordial."

▲After renovation

So he changed her original posture, making Guanyin's serious face become kind and dignified, with a smile in her calmness. Such a state is very difficult to grasp, and it can be seen that he spent a lot of thought on it.

Renovation of clothing pattern jewelry

Jade carvers also put a lot of effort into the clothing patterns and jewelry.

▲Before renovation

The original folds of the clothes were very simple , almost non-existent, and looked very plain.

▲After renovation

The folds of the clothes became extremely delicate and complex , and the necklaces were handled extremely realistically, as if they were really covered with a layer of gauze.

▲Details

This is a craft that makes polishers scream and apprentices cry.

The details are magnified again and again, so people with trypophobia please stay away.

This is the carving before it was polished, and it looks almost like tulle.

Oftentimes, some jade carvings appear fine when viewed from the front, but are deformed when viewed from the side. However, this statue of Guanyin is realistically portrayed from a completely three-dimensional perspective . No matter from which angle you view it, it is impeccable, with both the wrinkles and the patterns resulting from the wrinkles changing with the state.

Pay attention to the details of the Buddha statue's white hair, crown, necklace, hand seals, and garlands. They are handled in a meticulous and unambiguous manner.

Renovation of the Lotus Seat

Next, let’s look at the treatment of the rosette.

▲Before renovation

▲After renovation

A lot of thought was also spent on the treatment of the lotus pedestal, transforming the originally relatively simple lotus pedestal into an ultimate 12-layer presentation, and the patterns of each layer are different.

Renovation of colorful details

Finally, let’s take a look at some of the details of the color-matching parts, especially the lotus leaves, which are portrayed hyper-realistically using yellow and green.

The realistic treatment of the frog in yellow and green, every component is extreme, 360 degrees of extreme realism.

Next, let’s look at the treatment of the green part. The ancient wisdom was used to combine jade with mortise and tenon joints , and 17 green egg-shaped beads that match the Guanyin were inlaid.

The most amazing thing is that Guanyin was given a full green bracelet! How on earth did you put this on?

The modification part ends here, and the rest is just waiting for polishing.

Compared with the statue before the renovation, the serious face of Guanyin after the renovation became kind, the plump proportions became light, and the folds of the clothes became more flowing ... Unlike most Buddha statues with flat postures, the whole Guanyin looks more three-dimensional and coordinated.

"Rework" is another rebirth of sculpture, a process of re-creation of the work, and a real-life version of "plastic surgery" for jade carving.

Jade carving is an art of subtraction. To make modifications, you can only “shave the flesh” and then do subtraction. In many cases, there is no room for recovery and every step is extremely dangerous.

If you want to give your work a new look, it is a huge challenge for the jade carver. Without the right skills, you dare not take on this porcelain job...

▲After polishing

What a magnificent statue of Guanyin!

She has flowing robes, a graceful figure, a calm and peaceful expression, a dignified standing posture, a gentle and kind face, one hand holding a hand seal and the other holding a sacred lotus object, spotless, eyes slightly tilted forward, eyes looking at the nose, nose looking at the heart. The overall style is grand and friendly, with a strong sense of Zen. The lotus platform carved on the lower part makes it more natural and generous.

Look at the details, the clothes are actually hollow , and you can even see the arms and hands inside... I can only say that the master is amazing!
