I saw this takeaway guy. In fact, I can also make some handmade ones using cans, but they are definitely not as good as others. He wins in the details. Many hand-made things look complicated and too heavy for you to do, but it is much easier to take them apart step by step. Why is it called art? It's because after taking it apart, although it is easier, you also admire this guy's imagination. Just like the ancient carpenters, they made the furniture very beautiful without using a single nail.
?As for this kind of folk artist, I have one around me, but I am the only one who regards him as an artist. His unique skill is to write with a welding gun, melt the welding rod bit by bit, and then write the words on an iron plate. His writing is so good, and the sharpness and momentum of his writing are not inferior to those of calligraphers. Why do I dare? Saying this, because I have also studied calligraphy for several years, I particularly admire this person's unique skill.
? He is a blacksmith, and his blacksmith shop is very simple. It is called Blacksmith Shop. You really can’t imagine why it is called such a name. Not only that, he also welded the words "Blacksmith Shop" on an iron plate and held it at the door as a sign. I have to say that this sign is in Zheng Zong's willow script. It is written quite well. He asked me to write it with a pen. I can't even write it out, but someone else managed it in an understatement using a welding gun, which shows that the work is extraordinary.
?There is another one who is even more awesome, he is a clay figurine maker. In fact, I have known this person before and thought it was nothing special. It’s just that practice makes perfect. But then one time when we were chatting together and having a conversation, he used clay to shape my appearance, and it was so fast at the time that I didn’t notice that he was squeezing my shape until he showed it to me. I just thought it was too similar. I said it word for word, it’s so similar!
?What’s even more awesome is that he made a Buddha statue out of clay on the cliff to the east of our village. The Buddha statue must be more than five meters high. At that time, I saw him carrying a lot of straw into the mountain. , and no one knew what they were doing, so they followed to have a look. In just half a day, the Buddha statue was completed. Everyone was amazed and exclaimed. It was really awesome.
? Regarding the two folk artists that surprised me, I have actually come into contact with them in my life. Later, I studied with them for a period of time. I felt that neither one was easy to learn. I used a welding gun to write. That one couldn't be written at all, and it burned several holes in the iron plate. As for the clay figurine, what made me pinch it was that it either had a big head or long legs, and it looked like a potato, haha.
