This artist accepted to be a member of the H&S Jury and therefore his paintings did not participate in the contest. Sure that he would have been among the very first because his paintings are so well balance in forms and colours.

He continued in a very personal style, enigmatic but of high plastic beauty. Ho Huu Thu is a master in the management of space and colour harmony. Works that are available in auction room are highly sought after and are sold at remarkable prices.
