The Gallery by

The Gallery by SOIL is dedicated to presenting the art of lacquer from Asia.

It is probably the first gallery in Hong Kong which brings together lacquer masters and artists of diverse cultures, blending the traditional with the contemporary to showcase variety in the discipline.

Since 2012, SOIL has devoted most of our efforts and resources to the design and research of this art form.

“Reflections and the play of light and shadow on the surfaces constantly change the appearance of a piece. The lines are critical in creating the most beautiful and pleasing forms. The edges are the first decisions that I must make when I start carving the urethane form. Meanwhile, I need to imagine the curve of all the form lines when it is completed. If the lines and the surfaces harmonize perfectly, I feel that I have fully expressed the lacquer's beauty as a material.”
