Nguyen Thanh Binh
….Nguyễn Thanh Bình is known for his series of paintings of young women, ballet dancer, mother and child in various compositions and a romantic realistic style which is uniquely, and distinctively his over the past 30 years. Without a close scrutiny and the foundational knowledge of fine arts , it is impossible to dissect Nguyễn Thanh Bình’s paintings which seem to be similar to each others . He has the ability to exploit, from a very familiar subject matter, the diverse perspectives in postures, and behaviors, that lead to the creation of complex content.
