Hanoian painter brings traditional lacquer to Saigon - Vietnam’s landscapes

With 34 paintings selected from his nearly 1,000 works, Ngo Thanh Nhan’s “Vietnam’s landscapes” exhibition brings the smart beauty of traditional lacquer to Hcm city audiences.

The exhibition features the peaceful beauty of Vietnam: old houses in Hanoi or streets under moonlight. Or two boats on Ha long bay or a floating market in the Mekong Delta. Nhan’s lacquer paintings are very lively despite his limited use of colour.

 

The painter says that besides the landscapes of the Vietnamese countryside, he also loves capturing the beauty of Vietnamese women in his paintings.

 

Nhan has drawn around 1,000 lacquer paintings and this is the first time he has held a solo exhibition in Hcm city at Lotus Gallery from May 12 to 21.

 

Nhan was born in 1956 in Hanoi and graduated from the Industrial Arts University in 1979. He works for the Central Art Company and is also a lecturer of art at some universities in Hanoi. His paintings have been on display at many exhibitions at home and abroad like China, Singapore, Hong Kong. Nhan’s paintings are also hung in the Vietnam Art Museum.
