Abstract

Lacquer art as a plastic art, derived from the liquid secreted by sumac tree, after 8,000 years of historical evolution, has become one of the traditional arts of China, Japan and South Korea. In contemporary creation, paint artists from these three countries skillfully integrate modern art language, design elements and innovative ideas on the basis of retaining traditional techniques and spirits, showing the spirit of exploration that combines "avant-garde" and "traditional". This article starts from the historical origin of East Asian lacquer art, and sorts out the development status and characteristics of contemporary lacquer art in China, Japan and South Korea.
