About the artwork

R1 Vic till 29/04 Hailing from Hanoi, Vietnam, Hong Viet Dung (born in 1962) was an apprentice at the Pham Viet Son Painting Studio in 1979 before joining the Hanoi Industrial College of Fine Arts in 1984. Generally, Hong uses pale and distinctly muted colours to bring a sense of calmness and contemplation to his subjects. He only brings essentials to the foreground, allowing the viewer to use them as a stage for creating his or her own images and reflecting upon them. His works convey a meditative spirit, no doubt inspired by his devotion to the Buddhist faith. His works convey the essence of painting and their uncomplicated, Zen style invites viewers to delve into them and contemplate their own thoughts and reflections.
