Vu Huong Quynh comes from a very artistic family where her parents and her older sister, Vu Thu Hien, are all accomplished painters in their own right. Perhaps as a result of these strong familial influences, over the course of her short career Quynh has embraced a number of different creative styles and media to express her unique vision.

Her latest series of figurative work, shown here, represents a break from her traditional representative treatments and instead presents a more modern stylistic perspective. Quynh’s subjects are universalized and seemingly transparent, with key Vietnamese cultural symbols such as the fish, the dragon fly and trees shining through. Her brushwork ranges from controlled and sparse to expressive and flamboyant as she communicates the inner emotional landscape of her subjects.
