Chatting Painting

Bui Trong Du was born in 1976 in Hai Phong, he currently lives and works in Hanoi. During his studies and work, he traveled to many places in Northern Vietnam, falling in love with his homeland's landscape and imbued with traditional cultural values. Most of his artworks have an Oriental figurative style, sometimes mixed with a bit of impressionism or expressionism. With a simplified and stylized form of expression, the soft penmanship echoes Vietnamese folk paintings. Artworks such as summer lotus flowers, young women with lotuses, street corners, flower vases, and childhood memories such as flocks of birds, fishes, frogs, dragonflies... show the melody of beautiful, innocent life. Creating quality through mastering lacquer material is an important highlight in the work, it contrasts with the simplified form, this combination has created the artist's mark in the context of Vietnamese painting during the Integration.
