Huang Xiaoming's creative characteristics:
In the creation of woodcarving, we seek self-breakthrough and transcendence, summarize the uniqueness of Dongyang woodcarving from traditional crafts, and examine, excavate, discover and show the individuality of Dongyang woodcarving from a unique perspective. The creative concept has been improved again and again, and it has been continuously improved, thus integrating the traditional woodcarving with the characteristics of the times. So as to achieve originality and a major breakthrough in design concept.
In artistic creation, we should broaden our horizons, enrich our life experience and adopt diversification in creative themes. Inspired by creative inspiration, some geometric patterns, cultural relics modeling, famous paintings handed down from ancient times, ethnic minorities, Buddhism, Catholicism and Christianity were introduced into the field of Dongyang woodcarving creation through symbolic and moral means. Seeking the freehand brushwork of Chinese painting and the craft of woodcarving, and making bold attempts have greatly enriched the content of Dongyang woodcarving, and the scope of expression has also become broader.
