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.
