Guo Shuang Woodcut

Beschreibung

Foreword For Guo Shuang, woodcuts are a part of her life as well as a part of her aspirations. Guo Shuang Woodcuts records the bits and pieces of her life, and it is also a review of her past experiences. The woodcuts, black or white, match Guo's straightforward character. Guo carves wood, and her carving knives also shape her personality. Guo has a stronger thirst for knowledge than other of her peers. Moreover, she is always curious about everything like a child. She carves her life day after day as diligently as a farmer. Guo’s works “Going to the Fair ”and “The Wedding ”created during her undergraduate period. are derived from the life experience of her original family. So her works are filled with nostalgia for the hometown. These woodcut works often use large-scale picture layout. Even though the knife technique is rigid, when they are connected, they generate warmth.The award of the work is not only a reward for Guo's hard work, but also a tribute to her teachers who instructed her. The 16 woodcut works “The Grass ”reated during the postgraduate period are illustrations for Kang Bai's love poem collection. These pictures fit in the gap between poems, just as grass grows in the field, exuding wafts of fragrance. “The Puppet Series“ is also a work during this period. It is a work for a group of special patients suffering from serious illness. This series of works is composed of many small woodcuts, which shows not only the author’s humanistic care, but also her attention moves from the grand narrative to the individual. Guo's living environment changed, and her attention also changed . Once I tried to speculate about her work from the perspective of the creator. Her works created during undergraduate are from image to image, that is, a large number of photos and sketches accumulated and recombined into a grand picture, The characters which are arranged autonomously and imagined reasonably,are reproduced from her past experience. The illustrations in “The Grass” originated from poems. She turns text into image, it is the image transformation after understanding the text. It is more like a proposition creation. During this period, it is necessary to consult the specific form of a specific historical period to visualize the language of others in order to establish an effective connection betwee among the original author, the text and the creator of the woodcut.

As a teacher, it is a blessing to encounter such a student. What I can do is to give more proper suggestions on basis of better understanding to encourage students like her to learn and live better in the process of finding their true self. For a period of time, I often saw flowers and grasses photographed on campus early in the morning in Guo’s WeChat Moments . They are very different from the weeds photographed in her hometown before. The lawns mowed are no longer wild like the flowers and grasses of her hometown. Although they are the same green and same in height,their growth is regulated. Despite we can smell the fragrance of the grass after mowing, I believe it will not be as durable as that of the wild grass definitely. I met many students in the process of teaching, some of which will become like camels and lions, but very few can keep the original innocence and childish forgetfulness. When I wrote this, a picture arose before my eyes: a dim rainy day, the sound of a violin blew from the distance, a young man, running in the direction of the sound, gradually disappearing in the rain...
