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.

“The texture and feel of lacquer objects while soft to the touch, are very hard-wearing, and although often delicate looking are not at all fragile.” Tanigawa‘s lacquer sculptures while created with traditional techniques and training, display supple lines and curves associated with brush strokes seen in ink drawing, reflecting the artist’s own artistic philosophy. The resulting sculptures are unique contemporary objects made from lacquer that have the lightness of lacquer objects but with structural form, polished and executed to perfection using traditional materials and techniques.
