Le Quang Ha avoids traditional, academic subjects in his art, and instead chooses to address issues that many artists prefer to overlook or even ignore in their work.
There is much vitality, meaning, and social critique in the brutal honesty of his art. With its ironic comments, his art addresses subjects, which the young generations of Vietnam are confronted with.
The works present a sophisticated discourse on the clashes between tradition and the modern values of contemporary Vietnam. In Vietnam, his art is still regarded as an outburst within the official and social framework.
Nevertheless, it is the very controversy that he arouses which has become the leading indicator of the importance of his art.
