Color Variation in Hong Viet Dung’s Painting

As a member of the Gang of Five – a group of artists considered the pioneers of Vietnamese art during the Doi Moi period, Hong Viet Dung has been a prominent name on the map of painting, not only domestically but also internationally in countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong or America.

The works of Hong Viet Dung incline towards blue and yellow colors, bringing a feeling of lightness and tranquility every time you look at his paintings. Still familiar scenes in Vietnamese villages such as rivers or boats, but under Hong Viet Dung’s brushstrokes, an extremely beautiful, extremely poetic dream appears and occupies the viewer’s mind. As art critic Phan Cam Thuong once commented: “Hong Viet Dung pays attention to the simple wholeness of a landscape, expressing the air and steam that dissolve all forms in that scene. His drawing style hasn’t changed much, but is getting deeper and deeper.”

With just two colors blue and yellow, Hong Viet Dung has made his mark on the map of Vietnamese and world painting. Combining different colors, his paintings create an extremely poetic and peaceful beauty, making the viewer feel spiritually healed. This is an indispensable piece in the home of art lovers, when after a tiring day of work, waiting at home is a peaceful space separate from the hustle and bustle outside.
