2. Baifa

Baifa, a famous seal cutting master in Guangdong, was born in Liancheng, Guangdong in 1984. He founded the Guangzhou Baifa Seal Engraving Society. Baifa’s seal cutting is unparalleled. He is a master of his own practice, integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to create his own unique style. He is especially deeply influenced by Huang Mufu's style.

He once conducted extremely in-depth research on Huang Mufu’s seal cutting art, which resulted in Huang Mufu’s fresh and graceful seal cutting style being deeply integrated into his own seal cutting art.

It is an important feature of the art form of Baifa seal carving to not stick to the superficial imitation of antiquity, but to return to the original appearance of ancient times, and directly pursue the smooth and beautiful appearance of ancient seals.

He reduced the changes in printed lines to a minimum, showing the rhythm of life with ingenious changes that went unnoticed, showing his peaceful state of mind and stable emotions.

He strives to avoid exaggeration and restlessness, and uses bright and clean strokes in the plain and square style to naturally create strange and interesting works, and inject magic into the plainness. His quiet and elegant seal style seems to be closely connected with the ancients, giving people a feeling of elegance, freshness, cleanliness and tranquility.

The sealing surface strives to be complete and precise, which is an obvious sign of the white-haired sealing style. He neither made excessive decorations on the seal lines nor artificially processed the sidebars of the seals. Instead, he allowed it to be natural, showing a kind of harmonious beauty that conforms to nature, is soft on the outside and hard on the inside, and dynamic on the inside and quiet on the outside.

The style of the seal is elegant and unrestrained: the seal carving is horizontal and graceful, full of ancient interest, the knife is handled like a pen, and the cursive edges are particularly excellent.

The four kings of the painting sect came up with new ideas, blended brush and ink, and were elegant and natural, forming their own unique style of burnt ink and heavy color. Most of his calligraphy works are written in the left style, which is so unique that Master Yang Renkai was specially named as: Chinese Zuo Style Calligrapher.
