About the Artwork
In this masterful composition, the majestic tails of peacocks fan out, showcasing a breathtaking display. The intricate depiction of this splendid plumage employs the time-honoured "yunjin" technique. Deeply rooted in tradition, this method involves sprinkling finely powdered gold onto wet lacquer, resulting in an artwork that exudes fluidity, enigma, and delicate beauty.

An art form with an allure that intensifies over time, lacquerware can be likened to a vintage wine that only gets finer with age. It’s by every measure a cultural artifact, with roots tracing back thousands of years in the East.

Crafted through a series of intricate steps, lacquerware emanates a sophisticated glow that's simultaneously majestic and understated. Its unique sheen, an interplay of luxury and elegance, has charmed global connoisseurs, evident in cherished pieces such as Chanel's iconic black lacquer screen or Jaeger-LeCoultre's polished lacquer dials.

Today, the torchbearer of this ancient craft is Wang Ching-Shuang, a luminary in Taiwan recognized as a "Living National Treasure." Together with his sons, Wang Xianzhi and Wang Xianmin, and grandson, Wang Junwei, they passionately uphold and further the rich traditions of lacquer artistry.

This multi-generational family not only preserves the foundational techniques of lacquer but also brings a contemporary touch with their refined artistic flair and discernment. They rejuvenate this age-old craft by seamlessly merging historical nuances with modern sensibilities. Each masterpiece they produce is a testament to their unwavering commitment to maintaining and enhancing the timeless appeal of lacquerware.
