Enamel | The art of enamel has appeared in Eastern civilization for thousands of years. It was introduced to China in the Tang and Song dynasties and developed to its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Due to its complicated craftsmanship and strict material standards, most of the handed down enamel works There are the marks of the court and the royal family. Among them, the copper cloisonné enamel can best integrate the enamel glaze with the metal texture, and expand the creative space of enamel art infinitely. Cloisonne enamel is the familiar "cloisonné". The tire is made of copper, and the copper wire with the same pattern as the artwork is made by hand. After bonding with the carcass and multiple dots of enamel glaze, it is fired at high temperature. Polished.

 

 

When it comes to enamel, many people's first reaction is the famous handicraft in my country-cloisonne. This kind of craftsmanship with a history of thousands of years reached its peak during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. However, from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, cloisonne has always been a luxurious handicraft, and it has gradually declined in modern times and has become an occasional embellishment.

 

Shi Jun, a young arts and crafts artist born in the 1980s, chose to use enamel to interpret contemporary art. He designed the championship trophy for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix for four consecutive years; entrusted by the British Parliament, he made the throne for the Queen’s 60th anniversary celebration; and well-known The cultural scholar Ma Weidu jointly conceived and designed the 480 square meters of enamel art ground for the Shanghai Center, which won the Guinness World Records. Taking the ancient book "Shan Hai Jing" as the inspiration source, he created the theme sculpture group for the 20th anniversary of the Shanghai Art Fair...

 

 

 

Shi Jun grew up in an atmosphere full of craftsmanship and tradition since he was a child. His father is Shi Senbin, a master of Shanghai arts and crafts. I still remember one time in middle school when my father took him to the Bund and pointed to the magnificent bronze gates of those foreign banks and told him that these were all from my own hands.

 

At that time, Shi Jun realized for the first time that the arts and crafts can also be tall and close to people's lives. He has always been grateful for this fortune, able to discover the charm of arts and crafts earlier than his peers, and its infinite possibilities in contemporary art.

 

While studying in the UK, Shi Jun came into contact with enamel art in different countries. As a generation who grew up in Shanghai alleys, he perceives the opportunities that the precipitation of Shanghai & Shanghai culture will give the younger generation, so he chooses enamel as a medium to realize him. The inheritance of Shanghai style culture in mind.

 

 

Taking this opportunity, he designed the first enamel chair, inspired by Chinese ink painting, and in the process, with the team, broke through the firing technique of large enamel.

 

 

Although Shi Jun humbly stated that at that time, both the design and the production were still in the groping stage, but this enamel chair still looks elegant and smart now. The golden copper wire sets off the mysterious and warm black, as if the deep universe embraces the life of all things, as if there is life.

 

Among the many colors of enamel, only pure black enamel will use a large open flame of 900 to 1200 degrees. If you see flawless black enamel, it means it contains top craftsmanship. He still remembered that during the polishing stage of this enamel chair, water splashed on the spot. A visitor from the Middle East caught a glance and reported a high price of more than 100,000 yuan to buy it on the spot.

 

 

It was also this time that Shi Jun found a way to combine enamel and home.

 

In 2012, the 60th anniversary celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne, the British Parliament hoped to order a unique throne. They were moved by Shi Jun's creativity and enthusiastically threw an olive branch to the Shanghai designer.

 

 

This sea-blue copper cloisonné enamel seat has now been permanently collected by Buckingham Palace, and it took a whole year to design and manufacture it.

 

Thousand petals of handmade copper flower, tens of thousands of times filled with glaze and color, with gems, beautiful jade, pure gold gilt, combined with European-style cloth cushion, through 50 complex processes, repeated roasting and tempering. A wide range of engraved patterns and gilt patterns are selected for the seat head and armrests, and the parts are embellished with beautiful jade. The richly layered and smooth line stripe ornaments embodies the nobility, imperial bearing and prestige of the royal family.

 

 

A total of two "Queen's Thrones" have been produced. Except for the seat delivered to the British royal family, the other is now exclusively for display. Ordinary people can also order, and the price is 200,000 pounds. The purchaser must apply to the royal family and pass the identity verification before purchasing.

 

After that, Shi Jun became more determined in his choice, created a brand, combined traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, to inject vitality into the enamel craft. He and his team are like a big fish that is constantly exploring in the blue sea of enamel art. The safe islands are basically not gone, and they are always exploring new continents.

 

 

He aimed at the creation of large-scale works, and developed the enamel art measured in millimeters to the Falangcai sculpture in meters. Similar giant enamel works can only be completed by him in the world.

 

 

The 18-meter-high Sakyamuni Buddha statue built for Shandong Xinglong Cultural Park is the world's largest three-dimensional enamel sculpture, setting a Guinness World Record.

 

 

The 480-square-meter large-scale enamel art floor "Reincarnation" on the 37th floor of the Shanghai Tower was conceived and designed by Shi Jun and the famous Chinese scholar Ma Weidu and others. The design was inspired by the three artists' understanding of the cosmic energy and the "Reincarnation". Interpretation of concepts.

 

 

Huashan Road No. 688 is a mansion rich in humanistic feelings. The opposite is the Zhen-liu apartments where many celebrities stayed before the formation of the  Republic of China. This 300-square-meter enamel curtain wall used enamel on the facade of the building for the first time.

 

 

The colors of the enamel decorations, which have consciously weakened the traditional enamel, are bright and complex. In many works, only the dark blue and the brown of the copper body are used. It is like the "ink color" and "white space" in Chinese ink painting.

 

"In the past, life was gray and gray, and enamel satisfies people's imagination of color, but now, the times are like falling into a dye vat, and the meaning of enamel will also change."

 

 

The golden filigree hidden in the sea symbolizes the countless fresh lives bred in the ocean, and the two whales swimming in the middle are the representatives of countless lives. The largest of this group of wall installations has a diameter of 2 meters, an area of 4.37 square meters, and 3,785 filigree wires. A large-scale firing kiln needs to be customized during production to achieve integrated firing and achieve the best color effect of the enamel.

 

 

"If the water is not deep, there will be dragons." The winding and turbulent currents converge into an abstract shape like a dragon, giving the audience a mysterious experience.

 

 

The seven works are "Shanhaijing·Flying Fish", "Shanhaijing·Xunxiu", "Shanhaijing·Singing Snake", "Shanhaijing·Snake", "Shanhaijing·Rhinoceros", "Shanhaijing·Niaoniao" "And "Shan Hai Jing · Fu Zhu", through this series of works, intends to express human beings' awe of nature from ancient times to the present.

 

 

Just as Shi Jun’s proud Shanghai style culture is the result of the interweaving of multi-national cultures and Jiangnan traditions, expressing the “exotic” imported from the West in enamel with freehand Eastern philosophy, perhaps it is his understanding of enamel art in the current era Understanding.

 

He hopes to integrate East and West, tradition and modernity, and create works that conform to the concepts and aesthetics of the current era, so that enamel products can return to life. Looking back a hundred years later, these enamel works can become an antique.
