For over 7,000 years, the art of lacquerware has been a treasured craft in China. This ancient tradition captivated French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, leading him to establish a studio in Chongqing over a decade ago.
Settling in the southwestern city, Cazeneuve immersed himself in the rich heritage of Chinese lacquerware. Fascinated by its history and techniques, he began to incorporate his own style and Western aesthetics into his work. The fusion of cultures has brought a fresh perspective to traditional lacquerware, bridging East and West.
Through his innovative approach, Cazeneuve is bringing new life to a time-honored craft. His creations reflect a harmonious blend of cultural influences, showcasing how ancient traditions can evolve and thrive in a modern context.
