A piece of sheet iron has instantly become a vivid and life-like artwork with both low and high reliefs by such techniques and processes as hammering, chasing, chiselling, planishing and goodliness burning...
The hammered repousse and chasing artwork by Guo’s in the Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang City is this kind of craftsmanship created on a piece of thin iron sheet. Guo’s has its own sophisticated ways of chasing and repoussing. His iron sheet relief artworks or mental artworks are of both practical values and artistic appeal.
His metal artworks are noted for their grotesque processes that make animals, figures and landscapes hammered out so incredibly vivid that they are almost on the verge of coming into life. Nothing more beautiful can be imagined.
