Features: Modern Chinese lacquer painting, born from traditional lacquer decoration techniques, aligns its unique material beauty with modern artistic concepts, forming its own distinctive characteristics. It possesses a rich Eastern aesthetic while also incorporating contemporary elements that resonate with today's audience's tastes, setting it apart from other art forms and standing alone in the current art scene. Due to the diversity of contributors, many painters from various disciplines such as oil painting and printmaking have boldly borrowed from other art forms while preserving the inherent qualities of lacquer painting. They have experimented with the interpenetration of multiple techniques, infusing modern artistic concepts, emotional awareness, and aesthetic sensibilities. This has allowed the ancient lacquer craft to break free from the constraints of traditional processes, elevating it to a higher artistic level. The purpose of writing this book is twofold: first, to summarize some of the experiences accumulated over the years in lacquer painting production, and second, because there are very few books dedicated to specifically introducing the techniques of modern lacquer painting.
