The Spring of Ta Van, 2021
Viet Cuong Chu (Ha Noi, b. 1981)

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, and then spring comes again. Finishing the journey of discovering the four seasons of the highlands is the large lacquer painting by Viet Cuong Chu. With this piece, the artist brings viewers to the peaceful Ta Van village to contemplate the idyllic life of ethnic minorities amidst unspoiled nature. Ta Van is located not far from Lao Chai, which viewers have already encountered in the painting Lao Chai by Hung Giang Nguyen displayed on the second floor. With its bright colours, The Spring in Ta Van creates a gentle, romantic and dreamy ambience, especially suitable for a restaurant space and is a suitable work to enjoy for the art novices. On the other hand, the vividness of The Spring in Ta Van is a stark contrast to Thanh Huong insightful painting Quietness – this encourages viewers to explore different ways of employing the Vietnamese lacquer.
