Description
Nguyen Dinh Vu's piece "Children Portraits" is a striking watercolor on Vietnamese rice paper, measuring 78 x 107 cm. The artwork presents a child with an exaggeratedly large head and a diminutive body, creating a whimsical yet thought-provoking visual. The oversized head, adorned with bandages and dripping wounds, adds an element of intrigue and depth. In the child's small hand, a figure of a pig is held, infusing the piece with a playful charm. The contemporary style and unique composition make it a captivating and fun work of art.
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.
