Characteristics of craft decorative painting
Ⅰ.Aesthetic performance characteristics
Decoration takes priority over realism
Weaken perspective and light and shadow, emphasize flat composition, and highlight visual aesthetics through formal rules such as symmetry and rhythm.
The use of colors is not limited by nature and can be subjectively adjusted according to emotional needs (such as high saturation contrast colors or low saturation gray tones).
Material driven representation
Natural materials: Shell, paint, fabric and other natural materials preserve the original texture, giving the work a tactile temperature.
Industrial innovation: The surface of crystal porcelain paintings is covered with a crystal layer, which isolates air oxidation and forms a smooth mirror surface with a glassy texture.
Mixed media: Lacquer painting combines techniques of painting, carving, and stacking, creating a three-dimensional luster through the combination of "painting" and "grinding".
Ⅱ.Craft and Technical Characteristics
Integration of Handcraft and Technology
Traditional crafts such as embroidery and lacquer art require fine manual operation and complex techniques (such as the transformation technique of lacquer painting, which requires dozens of processes).
Modern craftsmanship combined with mechanical technology: Crystal porcelain paintings use high-pressure film coating technology to achieve seamless adhesion between the image and the crystal.
Functional oriented design
Practical handicrafts such as ceramic paintings and wall carpets need to balance decoration and durability, and adapt to the spatial structure of buildings.
Installation type decorative paintings break through the limitations of flat surfaces and enhance spatial interactivity through three-dimensional construction (such as shell connected wind installations).
Ⅲ.Creative logic and application adaptation
| Category | Core logic | Representative form |
| Process constrained type | Material characteristics dominate the creative direction | Lacquer painting, embroidery painting, shell collage |
| Free expression type | Artist subjective expression priority | Hand drawn decorative murals, abstract acrylic paintings |
| Technology Empowered Type | Boundary of Industrial Technology Expansion Performance | Crystal porcelain painting, micro spray digital art |
Space adaptation strategy:
Light luxury style with crystal porcelain paintings and metal frames, utilizing reflection to enhance spatial brightness;
The natural style focuses on framing with hemp rope and wooden frames, enhancing the warmth of handmade crafts.
Ⅳ. Value and Limitations
Advantages:
Practical Art Fusion: Breaking through the limitations of pure artistic appreciation and combining daily functions (such as lacquer painting screens and partitions);
Cost controllability: DIY creation can be as low as 10 yuan (cardboard+self-made art core), and industrial mass production reduces the threshold for collection.
Limitations:
The difficulty of inheriting traditional crafts is high (such as lacquer painting requiring years of skill accumulation);
Natural materials are susceptible to environmental erosion (such as wood deformation and shell fading), and should be stored away from light and moisture.
