China DailyA Chinese lacquerware artwork featuring French handmade glass. An off-centered, brown French glass vessel with a delicate silver filigree top was the first thing visitors saw at the China-France art exhibition that opened in Chengdu in mid-October. "The glass was sent to us by a French artist, and I interpreted its off-kilter position as an expression of a dynamic state," says Tian Shiqiang, a senior silverware artist based in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province. Other highlights included a bird feeder, consisting of a handle attached to a bamboo bird cage made in China with ceramic dishes from France; a glass cup from France with Chinese braided rope; and a lacquer bowl from China with a glass plate from France. "All seamlessly blend together without discord," says Zhang Jingming, curator of the exhibition, adding that the objects are proof that culture is a language of civilizational exchange and is capable of giving rise to new concepts.
