‘Afternoon’ is a large horizontal oil on canvas painting created by Vietnamese artist Dang Xuan Hoa in 2011. Featuring a cold palette made of blue tones, typical of Dang’s production, the painting depicts an elongated figure, laying down backwards, in a position reminiscent of the Egyptian goddess Nut. The arms stretched out above the head, the figure is accented with small spheres that gently lead the eye to the blue sun dominating the sky in the upper section.
The contrast between the subject, a person relaxing under the sun, and the cold blue tonality, creates a subtle tension that captures our attention. With its mesmerizing depiction and melancholic palette, this large oil on canvas horizontal painting will be a strong focal point in any home, whether placed above a sofa, mantel or console table. The painting is signed lower left.

Dang Xuan Hoa, Afternoon
Viet Nam  • 1956

Presentation

Dang Xuan Hoa (Born 1956 Bac Giang Province, Vietnam) is a world-wide respected contemporary Vietnamese artist. He is one of the "Gang of Five" who are known to have changed the direction of art in the early 1990's in Vietnam which coincided with the destruction of the subsidized economy. This is known as Doi Moi or "The Renovation", which began the free market economy. 

As Phan Can Thuong explains in his book on Dang Xuan Hoa, "This event emancipated the spirit of painting, casting off simplistic art to a common expression -abstractionist orientation combined with traditional humanistic ideas. Hoa's paintings are a process of spiritual development in which love and respect of life serve as a way to better understand himself". 

Dang Xuan Hoa expresses emotions through figures and shapes as his compositions appear to be perfect in themselves. His harmony of colors has instant appeal with subtle aesthetics. Common subjects include his wife, daughter and granddaughter and depict a harmonious and loving familial atmosphere. The canvas conveys a multi-dimensional style that is obvious in both "Immediate Love" and "Family Love" which are two in a series of five which exemplify Hoa's deep intimate connections with his family. 

His work is in demand all over the world and has been auctioned and exhibited across the globe from New York to Hong Kong to London.  One of his most recent pieces, "Life", painted in 2008, was auctioned and sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong for over $85,000.
