Description
A medium scale of the crucifixion of Christ with a woman playing the central role. The central character is painted using bright, neon colors while auxiliary figures are painted in dull and muddy hues. There appear to be spectators around the women, like she is being sold at auction. The women's outstretched hands and facial appearance show defiance rather than submission. The hues range from blue to black, perhaps reference to the Chinese and European occupation of Vietnam in the past.

The painting was shown at the Beijing Biennale 2012.
Nguyen Dinh Vu, Nude 08
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.
