"In this fast-paced life, I understand that everyone needs time and energy to pursue what enriches the soul. This is not only a means of mental relaxation but also a sanctuary against the onslaught of daily trivialities." - SHI Yuguang

Shi’s lacquer paintings merge simplicity and complexity, flowing like prose in a stream-of-consciousness style. Abstract colour blocks and lines disrupt the typical heaviness of lacquer, creating seemingly spontaneous yet carefully crafted forms. His work reflects an inner self, embracing lightness and purity. This effortless style is surprising, given the focused patience and mastery required by lacquer, a medium shaped by time and technique.
