HÀ NỘI – Cuci Art Studio will present an exhibition featuring 20 new paintings by Nguyễn Tấn Cương from Friday.
Entitled Light, the exhibition, which has been nurtured for nearly a decade, is the first solo event of the artist after 10 years.
After first making acquaintance with the easel in 1965 when he was 12 years old, Cương has pursued painting and graduated from the National College of Fine Arts in Sài Gòn (now HCM City) in 1973.
Since the 1980s, the artist has been practicing abstract art but it was not until 1991 that he devoted his full attention to this art form. Since then, the style has become a trend throughout the art community nationwide.
Whenever talking about the development of abstract style in Việt Nam, Cương is one of the key figures.
