Description
A Medium-scale painting of vibrant colors contrast with a woman in traditional Vietnamese attire as Vu invites the viewer to consider the clash of traditional Vietnam with more the modern. The blue, yellow, and white hark back and remind one of the past as well, with the sensual red lips, and rich red background more modern, contemporary and youthful.

Nguyen Dinh Vu, Pink lips #01
Viet Nam

Presentation

Despite the “Doi Moi", Vietnam's Perestroika – which allowed contemporary Vietnamese artists more freedom, was introduced in 1986, most of the artists did not direct their attention to the (western) preoccupation with changing of the frontiers of Vietnamese art. Combining traditional methods on modern materials like lacquer on wood, using (traditional) motifs and techniques, the younger generation of Vietnamese artists have gone through a revival of the use of traditional elements in stead, involving different forms of arts, such as installation, performance and video art.

Nguyen Dinh Vu combines materials as metaphor for the layers of history. Old newspaper often forms a second base on his canvas. The figures in blue and white have resemblance with the antique Chinese porcelain. His famous metaphoric man in suits with golden box head surrounded by Chinese/Vietnamese motifs slowly make room for more impasto abstract works.
