Lacquer Proliferation

The works, inspired by the rejuvenating power of spring, uses lacquer to capture a moment of renewal and vitality. The initial imagery: gentle rain and the first thunderstorm of the season, stirring buds on branches, serves as the conceptual starting point for the theme of new life and the growth of hope.

The central focus is the form of budding plants, rendered in natural lacquer to highlight the inherent contrast between the material's lustrous finish and the organic vitality of the bamboo leaves. This juxtaposition creates a harmonious representation of coexistence within the natural world.

Through the strategic application of powder and dry lacquer techniques, the artist aims to build a rich, layered texture that further contrasts with the smooth, organic subject matter. This technical approach allows the work to showcase the subtle and profound beauty of nature's awakening.
