Hong Viet Dung was born in Hanoi in 1962 and graduated from the Hanoi Fine Art College in 1984. Dung is an original member of the Gang of Five, an artistic collective which greatly influenced contemporary Vietnamese art. Dung’s distinctive visions of Vietnamese landscapes and figures encapsulate Eastern pictorial principles. As a Buddhist, he has devoted his career to create still and meditative compositions, articulated by natural forms. Uncluttered by detail and complimented by muted colors, Dung’s compositions present a pause for reflection in the fast pace of globalisation. A retrospective of his work is featured in the collection of the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts. Hong Viet Dung has a broad international collector base and has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions in Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, the USA and UAE.
