He uses the warm yellow tone in most of his paintings which brings back the memory of the people about the countryside in the northern plains. His lacquer paintings have been displayed in the exhibition The Capital City and the Nation.
Cong Quoc Thang is the youngest artists of the three. Borned and bred in a family with tradition in art, he had chances to visit his relatives’ lacquer workshop and it triggered his passion. In 2007, he graduated from Hanoi Fine Art College with his lacquer paintings which received a very high mark.

Art Event “Warhead”
Cinematheque
22A Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi
On the 31st December ProjectBlack is presenting the third documentary WARHEAD. This features artist Nguyen Thanh Son. Born as the Chinese were invading his village he is dismayed by the cult of soldier hero that he feels obscures the true cost of these wars, that is the pain to the families. Through his paintings he wishes to re direct out attention to this and also examine his own feelings.
This also involves a journey to witness the return of his uncle, an MIA for forty years until his spirit appears to his grand aunt in a dream and tells her where his remains can be found. Through a ritualistic exhumation we feel the power of the Vietnamese family gathering in and reclaiming their ancestors.
Opening the show a performing artist Song Hy who locks on wedlock by painting over the nuptial chains.
