What Does a Silhouette Artist Do?

A portrait, pattern, or figure of a silhouette monochrome side. Silhouettes are usually black or other single-color side portraits, often shadows on a piece of paper through a candle. Hair and hairline are sometimes distinguished by the shadow of a little still igniter. In 1759 the French nobility mocked the then-unpopular Minister of Finance, étienne de Silhouette, and named the technique after him. The detractors claim that only outline portraits symbolize the superficial and empty nature of the person being painted. Silhouettes were common during the 18th and 19th centuries, often by sticking patterns cut free-handed on black paper to white linerboard; sometimes called a profiler, which is often used to depict the profile of a person's sitting position. ^[1]

concept

Zhang Junlan, born in Zhengding County, Hebei Province, born in 1962, alias, Alan, is dedicated to the creation of artistic silhouettes, which can turn waste pictorials into artistic silhouettes with aesthetic value, and has made outstanding contributions to the cause of environmental protection. ^[2]

Changshan Clivia Orchid Zhang Junlan

Zhang Junlan used to live in the Shanxi family when he was a child, and was influenced by folk art since he was a child.

Artistic silhouettes (20 photos) Later, from her mother's hand shadow game, she came up with the idea of using silhouettes to describe various images. At the age of 10, she cut out dozens of patterns. Later, through diligent study, her silhouette skills became more and more mature. Occasionally, she noticed the pictorials that people had discarded. In her eyes, these scraps were the silhouette materials she had been looking for. Since then, she started collecting various abandoned pictorials and started promoting the concept of green environmental protection.

Bold innovation

Alan's art scissors are different from ordinary silhouettes. General silhouettes pay attention to "realism", and art silhouettes are to cut the shape of characters very much; while Alan's art scissors pursue "painting" and pursue artistic mood. Alan's art scissors are based on the collision of the original material's color, lines and other elements with her imagination, which includes her understanding and interpretation of art. Alan's art scissors pay more attention to freehand and shape, the contrast of colors and bold shapes, giving people a visual impact and enjoyment.

Green

Alan's silhouette was created using discarded pictorials and a pair of scissors, and she successfully turned waste into a work of art. She personally pursues the principle of "love and action, the responsibility of each of us-even if you can do it is a trivial matter". Therefore, "green and low-carbon life" is her eternal pursuit !!
