The Bronze Age:

Paintings by Lampo Leong

" [An] extended series, Bronze Age, used the bronze vessels of ancient China as symbols of a distant nostalgically remembered past. Set against dynamic, ethereal fields of color, his wine-pourers and tripods focused attention on the notion of cultural continuity in a post-modern, and for a growing number of Chinese artists, transnational world."

--Patricia Berger, Assistant Professor in History of Chinese Art
