Simple sheets of colored paper, after being folded and interspersed by a pair of skillful hands, can be magically transformed into characters and animals of different shapes, and the appearance is three-dimensional, exquisite and interesting, and it is amazing. He is Fang Junxiong, the inheritor of the sixth batch of non-heritage "triangular plastic paper art" representative projects in our city and the chairman of Huilai County Folk Literature and Art Association.
Fang Junxiong's family has been engaged in paper art processing for generations. From childhood, he was embarrassed. When he saw a piece of ordinary paper that was folded and turned into an artwork, his eyes were full of curiosity. And strong interest. While learning traditional paper art and production with his father, he was adept at innovation and continued to explore new ideas and techniques of paper art. Relying on many years of paper art experience and skills, Fang Junxiong made technical innovation based on the traditional paper insertion process and created his own "triangular paper inserting paper art".
Fang Junxiong told reporters that the "triangular insert plastic paper art" uses various colors of paper as materials and is cut and folded into a triangular shape for production. The produced work is like a sculpture, so it is named "triangular insert plastic". "Triangular insert plastic paper art" is derived from the upgrade of traditional triangular insert paper process. It requires more exquisite manual operation ability and higher overall control ability, and the perfect combination of small and large triangles to create a highly reduced biological shape.
The pursuit of art has never been smooth, but it has been full of hardships and twists. This is also true for Fang Junxiong. In order to pursue his dream without a heart, Fang Junxiong, who is obsessed with nature, gave up all his career and devoted his time and energy to paper art creation. In order to break through the limitations of the triangle paper inserting art, Fang Junxiong carried out numerous explorations and experiments. No matter the hot summer or the cold winter, many quiet late nights, he sat alone under the lamp alone, and carefully figured and folded the paper. Finally, kung fu lived up to the caring person, and after unremitting exploration, he broke the bottleneck that the triangle artists of all ages could not break through, and created the paper inserts of characters with noses and facial expressions. Later, he made most of the triangle plugs that were integrally formed Paper works. It is worth mentioning that in the process of exploring the paper art, he also majored in mechanical design. He also invented the auxiliary tool "cutting and creasing small triangle paper" for paper art creation. While retaining the essence of traditional handmade origami, Improved the efficiency of triangle insert molding.
In recent years, Fang Junxiong has participated in various domestic craft competitions many times and won numerous awards in order to bring his painstakingly-designed triangle insert paper art into the public's eyes and let more people understand this skill. In December 2017, his work entered for the first time and won a gold medal in the first "Belt and Road · China Cup" competition of Beijing Chinese Folk Culture Research Institute.

He will continue to launch his own paper art. Challenge, I hope that one day, his paper art can obtain new breakthroughs and improvements, and create more exquisite works.
