Post-modern lacquer

Chinese started to create artwork with lacquer centuries ago. Contemporary artists have pushed the boundaries of lacquer art. The exhibition features such young lacquer artists as Zhong Sheng, Xie Zhen and Jin Hui. Exhibited works range from raw abstractions in lacquer painting to refined functional wares. Despite differences in form, each piece is an exploration of the material, an eloquent exercise in post-modern craft art expression.
