Fishing Port Painting

Tran Co's works are not simply images of colour and shape but also a way of conveying his understanding and respect for the lives of Southern people. He recorded their moments, from the fishermen clinging to the ocean to the women drying squid. The atmosphere is humid, hot and dry; the vast river surface seems endless with simple, natural people, not under hard labour but in the relaxation of heaven and earth. He draws images and records deep emotions every time he puts pen to paper. Every detail in his paintings contains a part of his memories and feelings for his homeland and people in the West.
