How Lo Chan Peng Studio Packs a Painting
For every finished work, Lo Chan Peng Studio takes a single Polaroid photograph — the only one of its kind in the world — and signs it by hand, mounting it on a specially designed shipping box. The photograph is at once the collector’s way of identifying the work from the outside of the box and the studio’s certificate of its singularity.
The box opens in a ‘pizza-box’ style designed by Lo himself; the work is secured between wooden boards front and back so that its surface touches nothing, kept perfectly clean and safe in transit. Inside is a letter of thanks to the collector and a note on the care of the work. We hope the joy reaches you from the very moment the work arrives. Your gaze is the reason why I create.
