展览介绍
在太湖幽静的小镇上，一架架绣绷边，端坐着美丽的绣娘，针线翻飞于指尖，穿行出淡雅和灵巧。苏绣是是苏州的象征，苏绣赋予这座城市精致玲珑的形象，也赋予了苏州绣娘灵慧娴静的气质。苏绣造就了绣娘，绣娘也成就了今日的苏绣。蕙质兰心、冰雪聪明的苏州绣娘们，在久远的岁月里不断修习技艺，保持创新，平绣、乱针绣、双面绣，每一次的技法突破与革新，都使得苏绣永葆青春，永不苍老。周海云就是如此灵慧的一位苏州绣娘，七岁即习艺，四十余年的刺绣生涯中，苏绣于她不止是职业，亦是一份传承与使命。她在传统技法之上独创“三二组合乱针绣”，从针法上较好的把握丝线反光的光泽度，解决了现有交叉乱针和三角乱针反光效果均匀和平淡的问题，表现出了灵活、洒脱、朦胧和流畅感。适用于表现树木、花草以及需要朦胧感的背景类刺绣对象。苏绣自宋代以来就常与书画等艺术紧密结合，并从中汲取着营养，从而使自身的表现手段不断丰富，拓展了刺绣艺术的表现力，完美地表达了各种高难度的艺术作品。本次展览选取作品以唐宋明清名画为蓝本，将苏绣艺术的美展现在一幅幅画作中，精研画理丝理，以针代笔，以线为色，追求“绣胜于画”，创作出一幅幅令人惊叹的刺绣佳作。从宋代到今日，苏绣一直出现在寻常百姓的生活中，点缀着平凡的日子，江南水乡的温柔清雅氤氲千年。苏绣不仅是一个物件、一种工艺，更是一种文化存在，是苏州的美。同时感谢周海云女士捐赠《水乡》、《寒香书屋》两件作品，为我馆丰富馆藏做出贡献。苏州博物馆馆长陈瑞近InthesmalltownalongsideTaihuLake,seatedattheembroideryframesarethebeautifulembroidersofSuzhou,whosefingersrippleoverneedlesandthreadstomakeelegantandrefinedpatterns.AsthesymbolofSuzhou,Suzhouembroideryendowsthecitywithdelicacyandtheembroiderswithintelligentandserenecharacter.Suzhouembroiderybringsupagroupofembroiders,whiletheembroidersalsocreateSuzhouembroidery.ThesmartandbeautifulSuzhouembroiderskeepimprovingtheirtechniquesandinnovationastimepassesby,includingfineembroidery,irregularembroideryanddouble-sidedembroidery.Everytimetheymakeabreakthrough,theyalsocontributetokeepvigorofSuzhouembroidery.Ms.ZhouHaiyunisjustsuchanintelligentembroiderfromSuzhou.Shebegantolearnembroideryattheageofseven.Duringoverfortyyears’career,embroideryisnotonlyaprofession,butalsoakindofinheritanceandmissiontoher.Shecreatesuniqueirregularembroideryofherown,onthebasisoftraditionaltechniques.Inthisway,shemanagestogetridoftheinsipidityofexistingtechniques,achieveabetterreflectionoflightonthreads,andendowsherworksofartwithafeelingofnimbleness,freedom,hazinessandsmoothness.Thistechniqueisfitfordepictingfloraandbackgroundembroidery.SuzhouembroideryhasbeenassociatedcloselywithpaintingsandcalligraphysinceSongdynasty,fromwhichitlearntalot,enricheditsmeansofexpressionandrepresentedallkindsoffancystitches.TheexhibitsondisplayarebaseduponpaintingsofTang,Song,MingandQingdynasty,tomanifestthebeautyofSuzhouembroideryindifferentpaintings.Theartistresearchesthedynamicsofpaintingsandsewingthreads,inpursuitofbetterembroiderythanpaintingswithneedlesandthreadsinsteadofwritingbrushandpigment,tocreatefabulousembroideryworks.SuzhouembroideryhasbeenapartofourdailylifesinceSongdynasty.ItsgentlenessandelegancehaslastedforoverathousandyearsinJiangnanarea.Itisnotmerelyanobjectorcraft,butratherakindofculture,whichdemonstratesthebeautyofSuzhou.Meanwhile,wewouldliketoextendsincerethankstoMs.ZhouHaiyunforherdonationofWaterfrontTownandStudio,whichenrichesourcollections.ChenRuijinDirectorofSuzhouMuseum
