About the Item

A two-fold lacquer screen carved with an abstract, geometric design in black, red, yellow, blue and gold by Imai Eiko (act. late 20th-early 21st century). Japan, 20th century. Signed Ei to the lower right. One of the few women working prominently in the field during her time, Imai Eiko brought a distinctive voice to contemporary lacquer. Her work reveals a refined attention to colour and surface, often exploring the tension between fragility and permanence. In 1985, she exhibited at the Nitten (The Japan Fine Art Exhibition), an important platform for contemporary Japanese artists and later served as a juror for the 47th Nihon Kogei Bijutsu (Japan Contemporary Arts and Crafts Exhibition) in 2008. Imai’s work combines traditional lacquer techniques with striking modern designs, bridging tradition and modernity. Paravent en laque à deux feuilles, sculpté d'un motif géométrique abstrait en noir, rouge, jaune, bleu et or, par Imai Eiko (active de la fin du XXe siècle au début du XXIe siècle). Japon, XXe siècle. Signé « Ei » en bas à droite. L’une des rares femmes à s’être illustrée dans ce domaine à son époque, Imai Eiko a apporté une touche distinctive à la laque contemporaine. Son œuvre révèle une attention raffinée portée à la couleur et à la surface, explorant souvent la tension entre fragilité et permanence. En 1985, elle a exposé au Nitten (Salon des beaux-arts du Japon), une plateforme importante pour les artistes japonais contemporains, et a ensuite été membre du jury de la 47e édition du Nihon Kogei Bijutsu (Salon des arts et métiers contemporains du Japon) en 2008. Le travail d’Imai combine des techniques traditionnelles de laque avec des motifs modernes saisissants, jetant ainsi un pont entre tradition et modernité.
