He is a Chinese artist lent to the jewelry world. She is an Italian publishing house. Together they produced a book on his work, Wallace Chan, who took seven years to find the perfect style of photography to stop in an image its elaborate unique pieces. The book, Wallace Chan, Dream Light Water will be for a few like his jewelry. It is, in fact, a limited edition, with 86 pictures of of the most celebrated Asian designer jewelry. And the book comes out just when Wallace Chan became the first Chinese jewelry artist to exhibit his work at the TEFAF, the prestigious art fair in Maastricht (Netherlands). If you are in London on June 27th, among other things, the Hong Kong master has planned to present the book at the Victoria & Albert Museum (but places are limited and you need to get an early ticket). The book will be presented by the jewelry expert Vivienne Becker. But, apart from the social event, it can be interesting to browse the volume that contains, in addition to the images, even the artist-jeweler’s philosophy, which is led by a Zen spirituality and of course, by his aesthetic sense. And if you are fans of Chan, and you do not have a copy of the book and even you can’t be present at the Victoria & Albert Museum, there is another opportunity: the exhibition of 40 of his creations of unique pieces from June 30 to July 6, always in London.
