Vietnamese Lacquer Paintings


“Le Duc Hai and Le Ngoc Thanh’s paintings are a fusion of East and West. The legacy of the French Impressionists, the rich Vietnamese cultural traditions and spiritual symbolism are readily apparent in their paintings. The most distinctive characteristics of their work are that they have forsaken realism and are eagerly integrating their energies and emotions into full explosive colors to create impressive graphic abstractions of their very individual style.”
