A Glimpse of Vietnam
Presented by Thang Long Art Gallery (昇龍)
London, New Bond Street
“A Glimpse of Vietnam” consists of human stories painted by four notable Vietnamese artists, each with their own distinctive and unique point of view and rich with character. The exhibition will showcase a diverse collection of artworks by Master artist Phùng Phẩm (b.1932), artist Lê Thiết Cương (b.1962), women artist Lý Trần Quỳnh Giang (b.1978), and artist Ngô Văn Sắc (b.1980).
The four artists, each hailing from different art generations – from the post-French-colonial era (Hậu Đông Dương) to post-1986 Vietnam’s Renovation (Đổi Mới), through to Contemporary, each with their distinct signature styles and techniques: Phùng Phẩm’s mastery of cubism on traditional Vietnamese lacquer, Lê Thiết Cương’s minimalism with gouache on cheesecloth, Quỳnh Giang’s intense expressions through oil on canvas, and Ngô Văn Sắc’s unique wood-burn and mixed media portraits.
