Dang Tin Tuong is primarily known as a painter of large lacquer engravings of landscapes and ancient architecture on wood board but for the last 10 years, an eye disease has forced him to move to oil and poonah paper paintings.
“His paintings on poonah paper are typically oriental,” said fine arts critic Nguyen Quan.
Dang Tin Tuong has drawn many images of clouds, mountains, fields of grass and cheerful flowers that illustrate his feelings towards nature.
'Tuong's artwork depicts the beauty of nature and the Vietnamese people. The work is filled with the soul of an artist with a thirst for art and beauty who always said that drawing was his biggest happiness in life,' said Keum Gi-hyung, director of the Korean Culture centre.
Born in 1945 in the northern province of Hai Duong, Dang Tin Tuong graduated from the Viet Nam College of Fine Arts. He has had his work exhibited in many domestic and international exhibitions including the National Fine Arts Exhibition in 1980, 1995 and 2000, the Hawaii East-West Centre in the US, and the Kochi Fine Arts Museum in Japan exhibition of 50 years of modern Vietnamese painting.
The exhibition will run until March 31 at 49 Nguyen Du Street, Hanoi.
