Mounting Craftsmanship Combination of Tradition and Modernity: The picture frame mounting craftsmanship of Zhongda Gallery Business Department inherits the essence of traditional Chinese mounting while integrating modern innovative elements. For traditional calligraphy and painting works, such as vertical scrolls and horizontal scrolls, the mounting masters strictly follow traditional techniques, paying attention to the proportions of the top and bottom sections and the installation of the axis rods, making the mounted works appear solemn and elegant. Meanwhile, regarding modern frame mounting, the gallery keeps up with the trends of the times, adopting a simple and bright style. Through ingenious matching of lines and colors, it highlights the theme and artistic features of the calligraphy and painting works, allowing the works to better integrate into modern home and office environments. Innovation of Combining Chinese and Western Styles: In addition to the combination of tradition and modernity, Zhongda Gallery is also adept at innovative mounting styles that combine Chinese and Western elements. On the basis of retaining the characteristics of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting mounting, it incorporates Western art elements and decorative styles. For example, it uses Western mounting materials and techniques while preserving the forms and techniques of traditional Chinese mounting, presenting the works with a unique artistic effect and meeting the personalized needs of different clients for calligraphy and painting mounting. Mounting Process Basic Treatment: Mounting masters will select high-quality Xuan paper or silk damask as the backing material, ensuring it is flat, wrinkle-free, and flawless. Then, specially made paste is evenly applied to the backing material, controlling the thickness and uniformity of the application. After application, the backing material is air-dried, avoiding direct sunlight and wind to prevent deformation. Then, according to the size of the painting core and mounting requirements, the backing material is cut to the corresponding size. Bordering Process: Based on the content and color of the painting core, silk damask or Xuan paper that coordinates with the color of the painting core is carefully selected as the border material and cut to the appropriate size. Through splicing techniques, multiple pieces of border material are joined together, ensuring the seams are flat and natural, making the border material complement the painting core perfectly. Polishing and Finishing: Soft and flat Xuan paper or silk damask is selected as the polishing material and accurately positioned on the backing material, ensuring alignment with the painting core. Using tools such as polishing stones or polishing wheels, the polishing material is repeatedly pressed to tightly combine it with the backing material, forming a flat and smooth effect. The polishing quality is carefully inspected to ensure there are no bubbles or wrinkles, and it blends perfectly with the painting core. Material Selection Regarding materials, Zhongda Gallery Business Department exercises strict control and only selects high-quality materials. The Xuan paper they use has a tough texture, pure grain, strong ink absorption, and is anti-aging; the silk damask is thin and lustrous, and the silk texture is light and transparent; both are mostly used for the backing, bordering, and decoration of mounted scrolls. Pigments use natural plant and mineral pigments, such as cinnabar, azurite, and malachite, which are bright in color and not easy to fade. Adhesives use natural animal glues, such as bone glue and gelatin, for adhesive and pigment mixing. Axis heads are mostly made of wood or keratin materials, such as ox horn and sheep horn. Backing boards are selected from hard wood or cardboard to provide stable support. In addition, there are auxiliary materials such as ribbons, brocade, and metal buckles used for decoration and fixing of the mounted pieces, adding beauty to the details of the mounted works.
