Biography

Vietnamese contemporary artist Vu Cong Dien was born in 1975 and graduated from the Hanoi Fine Arts University in 2005. One of the young artists that Thang Long Gallery supported from his early career since 2006 with exhibitions that we organized domestically and regionally. He has only been on the professional scene for nearly a decade with works being in high demand in Europe, Australia, the US, and Japan. Dien brings a fresh approach to his landscapes often using color in unusual combinations. At other times, he uses mono and dichromatic color schemes to achieve a sense of tranquility and peace.

Dien's works were extremely well received at his exhibition in Vietnam, Dubai as well as Tokyo and are quite difficult to come by since he takes time to paint with meticulous attention to detail. Dien’s works are currently being carried in galleries in Singapore, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Finland, Belgium and Hanoi.
