The Art of Egg Carving in Shanghai

Egg carving is the art of cutting intricate designs through the surface of bird eggs with the help of various sculpture methods, techniques, forms, and patterns. As early as in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 to 403 BCE), egg carving techniques have been well recorded in some ancient Chinese books. After centuries of development, these techniques have become increasingly sophisticated. When it comes to today, people have become capable of drilling holes in a large variety of bird eggs such as chicken, ostrich, and emu eggs and scratching delicate patterns into the shells. Finally, the art of egg carving with great aesthetic value gradually takes shape.
This exhibition elaborates on the artistic features, raw materials, tools, and techniques of contemporary egg carvings in Shanghai, highlighting 100 select artworks created by egg carvers in Shanghai. The art of egg carving involves both painting and sculpture. It showcases great artistic beauty through complex sculpture techniques, such as relief, intaglio, and hollowed-out carving. At the hands of talented artists, those pettiest eggs have been turned to “gold” with tremendous artistic value.
