“Contemporary Vietnamese abstract art is characterised by a wide range of influences, from Zen Buddhism and Taoism to lyrical abstraction and the minimalist movement. This cultural cross-fertilisation has led to the emergence of a visual language that is unique to Vietnamese artists, and a way of expressing their identity in a globalised world.”

“The lacquer painting palette is made up of specific colours such as canh gian (brown colour), the use of gold and silver leaf, or the inclusion of broken shells, offers a distinct aesthetic not found in other mediums. The layered and polished nature of the paint allows a unique depth and texture to this form.”
