Artist(s): NGUYEN The Hung
Date: 21 Mar - 11 Apr 2013
Please, Handle With Care! features the artist's latest series of paintings done in acrylic on Dó paper and canvas. Sensual figures of modern-day women are juxtaposed with traditional Vietnamese and Buddhist patterns taken from temples and classical architecture, presented in vivid and colorful compositions.
Nguyen The Hung's latest collection emanates from the artist's musings on the differences between ancient and modern designs, and the contrasts between rural-traditional values and newly urbanized and internationalized attitudes.
