Dinh Hanh

Born in Vietnam in 1957, Dinh Hanh studied art at the prestigious Hanoi Academy of Fine Arts. His stunning works are the result of his use of the traditional technique of multi-layered lacquer on wood. This technique typically features a palate of gold combined with various shades of red and black. In addition, the lines are generally very distinct and crisp.

The subject of Dinh Hanh’s work is usually a woman, or women, often in a tucked position. The shapes and lines of his subjects very much bring to mind Matisse’s nude blue series, with a golden twist.
