杜梦堂荣幸呈现展览“髹行”——中国艺术家翁纪军和法国艺术家文森·漆的双个展，集中展出艺术家近期的漆画创作，以及他们在当代语境中对传统漆艺形式的探索与思考。
Galerie Dumonteil is very pleased to present The Enduring Practices of Lacquer, a dual solo exhibition of Chinese artist Weng Jijun and French artist Wensen Qi, featuring two artists’ most recent practice in lacquer painting as well as their thoughts and contemplations on this traditional art form during the contemporary era.

以漆漆物，谓“髹”(xiū)，它既是从中国古代传承下来的工艺，也是历代漆艺学习者身心的修行之旅。人类在7000多年前的新石器时代就已开始使用漆器，而漆画在中国也有长达2000多年的历史。用传统大漆作画非常耗时，工序琐碎而复杂，需要极大的耐心和专注力。对于创作者的付出，大漆以其持久性作为回报，好的漆画作品可以历经几个世纪，依然保有原先的色彩，且光亮如新。可以说，“髹行”之道只向那些最执着、最愿意为其付出的灵魂敞开，而此次展览的两位艺术家都在此列。
The practice of lacquer is not only a craft that has been passed down from ancient China but also a physical and spiritual journey to all the lacquer art learners. Lacquer painting has its roots in China dating back over 2000 years while archaeological findings indicate the use of lacquerware in the Neolithic Age 7,000 years ago. Painting with lacquer has always been a meticulous, long and complex process. It requires great skills and even greater attention, fortunately, the hard work is rewarded by its durability, allowing the artwork to remain bright and resplendent for centuries. It is not exaggerated to say that lacquer art only opens its door to the most determined and devoted, and both artists here belong to this category.

展览通过翁纪军和文森·漆的“髹行”，旨在探讨目前漆画以及大漆作为创作材料自身发展的新方向，并试图为历久弥新的漆艺在审美和价值等方面注入全新的视角。作为一家法国画廊的亚洲分部，杜梦堂（上海）定期举办此类展览，致力于在不同艺术领域开启中法艺术家之间的对话和学术讨论。
Through the enduring practices of Weng Jijun and Wensen Qi, the exhibition engages us in discussions over the new directions of this genre as well as lacquer, the material itself, and further calls for refreshed perspectives on the aesthetics and values attached to this enduring art. As the Asian branch of a French gallery, Galerie Dumonteil (Shanghai) regularly hosts exhibitions dedicated to dialogues and academic exchanges between Chinese and French artists in diverse fields of art.
