浅谈现代漆艺的发展 漆艺的本性在于超越

Modern Lacquer Art—a brief overview on the prospects of its development

漆艺是一门历史悠久的东方艺术,以漆树的汁液为主要创作材料。从石器时期野生漆树汁液氧化变黑的特性被先民掌握并开始了文字记录,到秦汉战国无器不髹漆,再到明清两代工艺的登峰造极,使中国漆艺名声远播海外。这都是漆艺在自我超越中达到的盛世。现代漆艺的发展应逐步从"日用"走向"精神"。从对"物"的真实使用,超越并到达对"心"的使用阶段是非常重要的。

Lacquer is an oriental art with a long history.The Sap of Lacquer tree is the main row material used in all lacquer art.As early as the Neolithic period,the ancestors had already learnt to utilize the oxidation process of the lacquer tree sap where first written records were found.Later in the Qin and Han Warring States period,almost every utensils were decorated with lacquer.Until Ming and Qing dynasties,Lacquer as an art form attained a level never known before.Chinese lacquer art gained an overwhelming reputation.This thesis put forward the idea that the modern lacquer art shall gradually transform from 'daily use' to 'spiritual mastering',which means we have to go beyond the practical ues of the 'lacquerware' and seek for the use of 'one' s inner self'.
