A jade dragon pendant, simple yet not simplistic

Good works must be worth appreciating.

The more complicated the carving is, the better it is, nor is it as simple as possible, but rather it is about whether it respects the material and releases the nature of the stone. Especially for many expensive materials, the more you want the craftsmanship to be perfect, the more you will ruin a piece of material. Because what he pursues is not the perfection of materials, but the beauty of craftsmanship, which will ultimately be counterproductive.

Sharing a square pendant created by Yu Yu, the material is glutinous icy jadeite. It shows a transition in color and is a good material. In fact, there are many themes for creation. Many people think of antique brands, but although this reflects the material, it lacks artistic elements. For a designer who graduated from an art academy, he would naturally not let such materials go to waste. He selected dragons and Buddha statues from traditional culture as elements for his creation.

Design

There are many ways to draw a dragon, but for the sake of perfection, many people will present almost all the details of the dragon. However, a jade carver with ideas will definitely think of a foolproof plan. Thus, the design of “the dragon with its head visible and its body hidden” came out. It does not require complicated carving, but is a simple and advanced treatment, full of imagination.

The other side depicts a Buddha statue meditating and practicing Buddhism, with a dragon protecting him on his back. Both sides are processed on the upper part of the rich-colored jadeite, while the lower part is almost unmoving and is left blank. In the details, you will find that the integration is particularly good, such as the perforated parts, which look like clouds and caves, and the transition is very natural.

Carving and fully presenting the design effect requires carefulness in every step. The final step is polishing. Because the material and carving are handled perfectly. The effect of lifting the goods is very good.

Chen Yiwu and Yuan Shengyao were classmates for ten years and graduated from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in the same year. They both love jade and are obsessed with jade carving. To meet jade is a gentleman’s fate. With the same dream and persistence, they embarked on the long journey of jade carving. After years of jade carving, Yuan Shengyao and Chen Yiwu set up a studio on Foshan Jade Street in 2015. The way of jade Yu is that jade is the soul, Yu is the craftsman, and nature and man are one. Jade represents virtue and Yu represents art. Jade Yu inherits virtue and art and displays jade culture. Unique vision, innovative design and exquisite carving skills make the jade carving unique and different. The two men uphold traditional jade culture, incorporate innovative new elements, create their own unique jade artistic conception and style. Those who work with jade, after carving it, will then polish it.
