Claire Lassonnery is a French contemporary artist who has been based in Asia for over thirty years. A Doctor of Pharmacy by training, she first explored the invisible structures of matter through science, before translating that same precision into an artistic practice that is both demanding and deeply sensorial.
Trained in traditional lacquer techniques in Vietnam, she reinvents this ancient craft as a contemporary language. Pigmented, layered, polished, sculpted — lacquer becomes a living material, a slow painting where each stratum reveals a dialogue between light, depth, and transparency.
