Current Lacquer Expression 2024 -A Look at Lacquer- [update]

The "Current Lacquer Expression" exhibition, which focuses on artists who express themselves in a unique way that is not bound by traditional lacquer art, has been held three times in the past at Nihonbashi Takashimaya Art Gallery X with the cooperation of lacquer artist Tanaka Nobuyuki. This exhibition will be the exhibition that oversees current expression of lacquer art, and will further expand the diversity of lacquer art expressions by welcoming new artists in addition to the previous exhibitors. Furthermore, this exhibition will focus not only on the materials & techniques that tend to be focused on in traditional school, but also on the relationship between lacquer and the artist and the process of expression. By reconsidering what the artist is looking at through lacquer, we will present a new perspective on lacquer expression.
