Special Exhibition featuring the Dry Lacquered Work of Kang Changwon, Brochure, 1982, MMCA Art Research Center Collection
A sculptural modelling technique in which lacquer is applied to cloth such as ramie or hemp fabric to create a base form, without the use of a wooden core. The technique is also known as hyeopjeo. Different sub-categories of the technique include talgeonchil , moksimgeonchil, and mokjogeonchil. The artist Kang Changgyu and sculptor Kwon Jinkyu have revived the technique, which had not been in use since the late Joseon era, as a contemporary approach.
