八十年代初,赴南京参加《雨花台革命烈士塑像》工作。与广州及上海的同行一起工作、生活过一段时间。那时正值隆冬,室外很冷,雨花台在南京城南郊,晚上去闹市逛街、看电影、访友都不方便,只能在住的房间里做些事情,看书、画画、刻印章及制作一些小雕塑,大家都很勤奋追求艺术的乐趣。我也是个闲不住的人,白天到施工工地找些红松、东北松等小零料,晚上就用削铅笔的刀,一点一片地削,真象蚂蚁啃骨头,经过几夜努力,终于做成一件“睡猫”作品。由于东北松的木纹明显、深色浅色相间的木纹与猫的造型恰到好处地揉合成—体,十分有艺术的趣味。就这样在消闲中,开始了利用木纹进行动物雕刻创作的活动,兴趣一直保持了四五年,创作了近三十件作品。 木雕的种类很多,用材也相当广泛。一般采用木质细硬的一类,如红木、黄杨木、柏木、樟木以及白果木等,在雕凿中着重考虑造型。木纹雕刻有些不一样,一要考虑造型,同时还要考虑利用木纹造型。形与纹要能自然地结合成一体,塑造出有关动物形体结构、毛色毛纹特点才能肖似神似。因此,不是什么动物都能表现的。根据我几年的求索,其中猫咪、小熊猫、狐狸、水獭、斑马、鸡、孔雀、猫头鹰、松鼠、 In the early 1980s, went to Nanjing to participate in “Yuhuatai revolutionary martyrs statue” work. Work with colleagues in Guangzhou and Shanghai for a long time. At that time in the winter, the outdoor is very cold, Yuhuatai in the southern suburbs of Nanjing City, downtown night shopping, watching movies, friends are not convenient, can only do some things in the living room, reading, drawing, engraving and making some Small sculpture, everyone is very hard to pursue artistic pleasure. I am also an idler, to the construction site to find some pine, northeast pine and other small pieces of material during the day, night pencil sharpener, bit by bit to cut, really like ants bite bones, after several nights of hard work, Finally made into a “sleeping cat” works. As the northeast pine obvious woody, dark, light-colored wood and cat shape just right to knead - body, very interesting art. In this way, during leisure, the activity of using wood grain for animal sculpture was started. Interest has been maintained for four or five years and nearly thirty works have been created. Many types of wood carving, timber is also quite extensive. General use of hard wood of a class, such as mahogany, boxwood, cypress, camphor and ginkgo wood, carved in focus on the shape. Wood carving some different, one must consider the shape, but also consider the use of wood shape. Shapes and lines to be able to naturally combine into one, to shape the physical structure of animals, fur coat features to look like. Therefore, not all animals can show. According to my years of quests, cats, red pandas, foxes, otters, zebras, chickens, peacocks, owls, squirrels,
