Artist short biography

Thanh Luu was born in the city of Vinh – Central Vietnam. She has been an author and a poet most of her life before becoming painter. Luu uses watercolor to paint on silk for the majority of her works. Pursuing classicism, she finds it perfect to express the momentary beauty of purity, tranquility and depth, which can also be found in her poetry. Growing up in hardship and natural catastrophes in the poor land of Central Vietnam, she treasures nothing else but the people around her. This explains very clearly why she chooses to portray people, especially children and women whose exquisiteness she is deeply touched. In her works, she would like to capture the moments where people are by themselves and immersed in their own world even if they are among the crowd. That’s when they are the most “human beings”. Through that she wants to put forward the massage of glorious and dazzling solitary to her viewers. Having recently entered the art world, Luu participated in a number of exhibitions in Vietnam and the US with the artists of the Guild of Berkshire Artists, the Fine Arts Association of Ho Chi Minh City, the Fine Arts Association of Hanoi: Fine Art show (2019), Art out door (2019) in Massachusetts, USA; Saigon Spring Exhibition 2020 (2020); Capital Fine Arts Exhibition (2020). As an emerging artist, Luu’s paintings are sold primarily to private collectors. Some of her paintings have also been sold to donate to Tiep Suc charity fund. Luu was born in 1983 and graduated from University of Social Sciences and Humanities with a PhD in Literature in 2012. She’s been constantly participating in painting classes in Saigon to improve her knowledge on the material’s features and properties. She is now living and working in Hanoi.

Differences between Emerging, Mid-career and Established Artists

Emerging Artist

An Emerging Artist is someone who’s in the early stage of his or her career. Someone who’s caught the eye of an art critic and/or gallery but hasn’t yet established a solid reputation as an artist amongst art critics, art buyers, and art galleries. Independent of his or her chronological age, this individual has created a modest independent body of work.

Mid-career Artist

The Mid-career Artist is an artist who has created an independent body of work over a number of years and who has received regional or national recognition through publications or public presentations of his or her work. A Mid-career Artist has had a significant number of solo exhibitions at significant galleries and museums, located nationally or internationally.

Established Artist

An artist who is in the Established stage in his or her career has created an extensive body of independent work. He or she has reached an advanced level of achievement by sustaining a nationally or internationally recognized contribution to the discipline, and his or her work’s value has been decided through consistent years of sales and confirmed at auction.
