Features: As the saying goes: "Gold and stone are immortal." In today's 21st century, under the efforts of artists and scholars of seal carving art and research worldwide, the ancient art of seal carving is blossoming as a unique gem in the contemporary art landscape, embodying its distinctive Eastern spirit and latent modern characteristics, and winning the affection of an ever-growing number of people. In the autumn of 1995, under the initiative of the China calligraphy Association and Seal Carving Art Committee, the Japan Seal Carving Association, and the Korea Seal Carving Society, the International Seal Carving Art Exhibition was successfully held in Beijing, followed by a series of corresponding academic exchanges. It has been proven that hosting such high-level international exhibitions plays an irreplaceable role in promoting the art of seal carving, fostering international exchanges in seal carving, and strengthening friendships among seal carving artists from various countries. Today, hundreds of seal carving artists from China, Japan, South Korea, and other regions gather together, transcending the boundaries of nations and traveling great distances. The exhibited works fully reflect the further exploration and reference to the traditional art of seal carving by artists from different countries, as well as their pursuit of new formal languages in seal carving. They also showcase the relentless efforts of artists in integrating the spirit of their respective nations and regions, as well as their individual and shared characteristics into their works. We believe that the Second International Seal Carving Art Exhibition will serve as a bridge between the past and the future, and with its grand scale and high-quality works, it will leave an important mark in the history of international seal carving exchanges and the development of seal carving art. As the art of seal carving continues to evolve and international exchange channels expand, we have every reason to cultivate a new generation of representative seal carving artists who dare to climb the peaks of this art and, in turn, create an entirely new era for seal carving!
