Internationally acclaimed Chinese artist Wenzhi Zhang is pleased to unveil "Back to Renaissance," a groundbreaking exhibition of her neoclassic lacquer paintings -- on view for the first time to an American audience.

"Back to Renaissance" presents 35 vibrant and thought-provoking paintings that employ two ancient Chinese techniques: the labor-intensive art of lacquer and elegant precision of calligraphy. Transformed by Zhang's own aesthetic, these works express the confluence of China's deep heritage and its modern ambitions as well as the friction between East and West.
