About the Artwork
Crafted by the esteemed Lacquer Master Wang Ching-Shuang, the artwork's backdrop captivates with the "罩漆磨顯" (cover and grind) technique, unveiling ethereal cotton tree petals that subtly ascend from the deep lustrous black canvas. This revered method bestows the piece with a mysterious allure and an air of sophistication.
The petals' velvety texture and the birds' meticulously detailed feathers bear witness to the ancient Maki-e technique. Translating to "sprinkled picture," this centuries-old craft demands the precise application of metallic powders to the wet lacquer, achieving results of exceptional detail.
The flowers' subtle color gradations form a poetic dance, harmonizing exquisitely with the vibrant hues of the birds, culminating in a vivid celebration of spring amidst the blossoming cotton flowers. This composition is a triumphant testament to intricate realism, captivating visuals, and timeless allure.
The lustrous finish of the black lacquer background speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship involved, achieved through over 30 rigorous steps.
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.
