From the organizer:

You are invited to the wooden carved paintings exhibition “From traditional to modern carving” with 100 selected artworks by Tran Nguyen Dan at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.

“Painter Tran Nguyen Dan is a special artist in the scene of Vietnamese Fine Arts because he is mostly dedicated to a single material: wood carvings. He started wood carving career in 1967 and continued until now (2016) – nearly half a century – even when others “try” or “extend” to other materials. He is renowned for his enthusiasm for the beauty of Vietnam and people, a simple, lyrical and soulful style.” (excerpt from Duc Hoa’s writing)
