It is reported that Laiyi has a history of more than 7,000 years in China. In the 1920s, Chinese modern lacquer paintings were born out of lacquerware. The paint painting is painted with natural large paint as the main material. In addition to lacquer, there are gold, silver, lead, tin, and eggshells, shells, stone chips, wood chips, etc. It is both art and practical decoration, which has become an expression of wall decorations, screens and murals.

In the 21st century, the Chinese lacquer art industry began to have more cultural consciousness, and lacquer artists worked hard to explore the expression of lacquer Chinese. As the forefront of economic strategic development, the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area is one of the areas with the highest level of opening up in China and the strongest economic vitality, and has important strategic locations in the national development situation.

Wang Xiaoshu, chairman of the Artists Alliance of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, wrote in the preface of the exhibition, "Modern lacquer painting shifts from lacquerware to the independent paintings of pure art, injecting new vitality into the ancient lacquer concept and craftsmanship, which brings it. Major changes and development. "

"The art of lacquer has a long history in China. The earliest lacquerware unearthed in China is more than 7,000 years ago. The artistic characteristics of painting are reflected in their material characteristics and material beauty. Thousands of years of lacquer culture have given more than 250 techniques of lacquer painting, so that it has unlimited and broad space in development. " Su Xing, director of the meeting, said that the awareness of lacquer painting is the highest in Guangdong and Fujian, and the market is the best. Because contemporary lacquer painting starts late, compared with the artist of the national oil version, the number of lacquer painters is still small, but we have been speaking with works, and the works are continuously selected as provincial and national beauty exhibitions. The work enters the auction market and is reversing people's understanding of lacquer painting.

Liu Chunchao, director of the Guyuan Art Museum of Zhuhai City, said that lacquer painting works are a combination of traditional craftsmanship and postmodern aesthetics, which has unique creativity. The lacquer painting technology is very complicated. From the lacquer, coating, covered light, grinding, pushing light, etc., dozens of procedures are required. Each process needs to be repeated several times. The lacquer painting works that everyone sees often spend a lot of effort to make the author. The purpose of this remark is to promote the coordinated development of cultural innovation in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, inspire contemporary lacquer painters, especially young lacquer painters, and promote the creation, display and exchanges of lacquer painting. It is expected to make the "painting painting invitation exhibition" into a sustainable art brand, and to promote more people to understand this relatively niche painting. The next exhibition will also plan to face more cities and invite more lacquer lacquer. Painting creators participated together to promote the development of lacquer and painting in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area and the whole country.
