Ho Huu Thu is one of the most significant role models in the Vietnamese art scene for those willing to experiment with new methods. Starting as an impressionist painter, he gradually turned to surrealism and abstract art. Materials, techniques, or styles are just “tools” for the artist to convey his view of life and beauty. Ho Huu Thu wants to show the “non-concept” in his works. His paintings have profound beauty when depicting women’s sophistication, moonlight, and lotus flowers.
