Born in Nanping, Fujian in 1984, Wu Guanzhen is a professional artist now living and working in Xiamen. To fully deliver and celebrate his artistic vision, Wu started to explore the innovative expression of Chinese lacquer art in 2010, and immersed himself in a seven-year journey before hosting his first solo exhibition in 2016. His exclusive artistic approach has been certified as China's invention patent.
Chinese lacquer is a living art material from nature. The life process of lacquer makes people feel the meaning of temporal aesthetics. China is where lacquer art originated, and Wu Guanzhen is seeking innovation and truth through his contemporary lacquer art, which not only respects lacquer as a natural gift and celebrates its natural process, but also adheres to his innovative approach to express conceptual artistic thinking.
