The development of China's decorative art glass market is in a good period of rational competition, stable development, reasonable product structure, and both supply and demand. This can be confirmed from various architectural decoration fairs.
Cold glass art is in the ascendant
Cold glass art refers to glass art that is processed at room temperature. If it is heated in a kiln, the temperature is not higher than 593 degrees Celsius. Such as sandblasted glass, chemically etched glass, colored mosaic glass, color printing glass, surface painting and glazed glass, etc.are all proportions. The development of cold glass art in China began with sandblasting and grinding, and has been developed for decades. Sandblasting is mainly used for the art reprocessing of flat glass. The products are mostly used in furniture, doors and windows, mirrors, screens, partitions, etc. Grinding is mainly carried out by electric motors to drive the grinding wheel. Hand-held glass grinding engraves various patterns of flowers, birds and fish, mainly used for the decoration of glassware and daily-use glass.
Since the 1990s , there have been other art glass varieties that have been derived from other decorative techniques, such as vertical painted glass, color-printed glass, and frosted glass.
After 2003 , more decorative glass varieties were introduced to the market, forming a splendid art glass industry from south to north. Chinese people have strong invention and creativity and superhuman imitation. So, various cold glass decoration products based on sand blasting, chemical etching, grinding and color printing are quickly born. The titles of various art glasses are even more A variety of things. The integration of various processes has become a hot spot in recent years. Throughout the world of glass art works, most of them are a combination of various skills. The application of comprehensive skills can reflect the artist's perfect artistic design and enhance the ornamental value of glass art. From the perspective of various exhibitions, Art Deco glass has matured from product design, processing technology and enterprise scale. It has formed a huge industry in China and has international competitiveness and an encouraging market. prospect.
Hot glass art came into being
The art of hot glass has always been the glass art advocated in the world. It has been developed for hundreds of years and is also recognized as a glass art by artists and art schools. The so-called hot glass art refers to glass art processed by high temperature above 593 degrees Celsius, such as kiln cast glass (dewax cast glass), blown glass, thermoplastic glass (lighter glass), etc. The glass (glass rod, glass tube, glass powder, glass block) is heated to soften and liquid, and then reshaped, through artistic innovation, coloring, annealing and other procedures to form a new glass solid form. Works made with this technique are generally uniform in color and cannot be copied, just like some ceramic art.
China's hot glass art has been used only for the production of factory-made glassware and daily-use glass. The production capacity and output are internationally large as glass countries. The export volume is large, but foreigners are not interested in our glass. The art of modeling, but the low price and inherent product use features. Therefore, instead of saying that China is a big exporter of glass products, it is better to say that China is an exporter of cheap labor. Our price is a serious waste of resources and deadly environmental pollution. Pure artistic glass art is the strength of European and American countries and has a history of hundreds of years. For example, Czech glass art can be sold in the Chinese market for several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan, while the same size glass products produced in China. Only sold for tens of dollars. The huge contrast shows that China's pure art glass products are still far behind the developed countries in the West, and these are the artworks we call hot glass. It is gratifying to note that in recent years, hot glass art has quietly emerged in China.
Art Deco glass is expensive in decorating, so its primary function is decorative. However, in the past, glass manufacturers only focused on decoration and ignored functional development. In recent years, various manufacturers have worked hard on the use of art glass. Some companies' product targets are home improvement, so they developed TV background walls, door glass and window glass, which are very versatile.
"The high-tech of the product is not as good as the product." This is the true art deco glass. Many enterprises have changed the business philosophy of product positioning in the past years, and Huagong has devoted himself to the development of embossed decorative glass paintings with high-tech content and can be shaped. These glass products induce the desire of people to use from different angles, and also make people realize that the art glass can beautify the function while increasing the artistic atmosphere of the environment while satisfying the function of use.
The Chinese decorative art glass market has bright prospects and many business opportunities. First, compared with foreign countries, although our processing skills are still behind European and American countries for decades, decorative glass still has a huge market abroad, and has greater potential in China. Second, China's national economy is in a period of rapid development. The living conditions and living environment need to undergo revolutionary changes. Glass, as a hard, transparent and pollution-free building material, cannot be replaced by other materials. Due to the lack of independent products, some companies have not used their thoughts in the research and development of artistic glass processing technology and the excavation of potential functions of glass. They will be eliminated by the market sooner or later.
