FROM URUSHI TO PALEKH

AP Limited Editions celebrates the fusion of lacquer art forms from Maki-e to the Russian Palekh School of Miniature Art with the launch of – FROM URUSHI TO PALEKH.

Urushi lacquer has been long used in Japan in the 5th and 6th centuries. It was celebrated as Maki-e when gold and silver work was introduced with the original Urushi forms.

FROM URUSHI TO PALEKH is an interesting fusion of the Japanese Maki-e art form with the Russian Palekh style, where tempera pigments are used in strikingly brilliant colors to paint symbols from nature so typical of Oriental art forms.

AP Limited Editions invites you to experience the new fusions of old art forms and enjoy the dynamism of life and nature!
