50 Years of Wallace Chan's Jewelry Is on Display in Shanghai
Briefly

I have always felt that the insects and the other parts of nature I depict are as vital to our world as humans. My works of jewelry are created to embody human qualities.
Mr. Chan said he wanted to humanize his work, which has included hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny gems set on titanium frames in the shape of butterflies or insects or other things from nature.
For me, to create is to discover. I am a bit reluctant to call this a retrospective because I have many more years to create.
The exhibition features more than 200 of Mr. Chan's works and includes a presentation style that showcases the pieces within large mannequins and a display case designed as an eye.
