The Artwork アートワーク

The core spirit of bamboo has always been admired by Chinese literati, while lacquer is a cultural medium with iconic oriental element.

This work combines points, lines and surfaces in a free style. The contrast and mixture of lacquer and bamboo has formed a material tension between different textures. The entire shape is structured like a stone, bringing a rich visual feeling.

The work creatively combines the exquisite bamboo weaving techniques and the elegant lacquer skills. The overall structure was realised through hexagonal bamboo weaving method, which forms a naturally twisted shape. Then, some parts of the piece were mounted by linen cloth, and painted with lacquer. The spatial structure is orderly and psychedelic. The intertwined bamboo weaving and lacquer contains deep oriental aesthetics.

The Artist アーティスト

Yuefeng He, China (b. 1979)

"In my early years, I was engaged in product and industrial design. Besides that, I immersed in the investment and appreciation of ancient Chinese art for more than ten years. I have been devoted myself to studying traditional craftsmanship in my spare time, such as lacquer, bamboo, pottery, wood and metalworking. I have been trying to combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics, breaking the boundaries between craftsmanship and life, art and commerce. My goal is to achieve a lifestyle that belongs to modern Oriental culture."
