MORNING
IN THE MOUNTAINS
orning in the Mountains is a solo exhibition of mixed media paintings by Hanoi-based artist
Nguyen The Hung. Born and raised in the north-eastern corner of Vietnam, much of Nguyen
The Hung's work is influenced by the cultures and traditions of the many ethnic minority
groups that populate the mountains of his native region. Perhaps best known for his use of do paper
in his earlier collections, the twelve works of Hung's Morning in the Mountains collection are an
experimental combination of various styles including action painting, do paper, traditional lacquer
painting, and vibrant contemporary art colorations. Hung took special care in reproducing each
pattern and accessory on the traditional clothing of the ethnic groups depicted. The pure beauty of
children, charming smiles of young girls, and the simple beauty of locals are emotionally reflected.
