SHOWCASE OF CHINESE LACQUER WORKS ON SHOW AT GALERIE DUMONTEIL

An ongoing exhibition of works by two contemporary artists at the Galerie Dumonteil in Shanghai features the 7,000-year-old craft of Chinese lacquer.

Showcasing 22 works by Shanghai-based artist Weng Jijun and French artist Vincent Cazeneuve (Wensen Qi), the Enduring Practices of Lacquer exhibition will take place at building 105 on 199 Hengshan Road till Oct 10.

The exhibition was made possible by Zheng Yuxin, the Asian manager of Galerie Dumonteil who brought the two artists together after realizing that their works embodied a respect and profound understanding of the heritage of lacquer.
