Artist short biography

Hoang is a Saigon-based artist who was born in 1969 in a Southern province of Long An. Though watercolor and graphic design used to be his forte, most of his latest works are oil and acrylic paintings on topics of portrait, nudity, and social politics executed in the seemingly opposed co-existence of both realistic impressionism and abstractionism, through which he contemplates on human’s identity and forefeels their future. Since 2007, Hoang has been regularly participating in Region 6 & 8 Art exhibitions in regional areas including Ho Chi Minh City. He is one of the team leaders and organizers of the watercolor exhibitions under the name of Watercolor group "Homogeneity". He has two solo exhibitions with the subject of portraits on various materials in Ho Chi Minh City. Most recently, he participated in an online fundraising auction for the flooding in Central Vietnam with the theme of "Down the Thu River" and participated in the group exhibition of 3 people named "Ờ (Uh)" in Hanoi in 2020 alone. In parallel with his creations, Hoang is a reliable artist who individual collectors become loyal customers of. Before starting to paint professionally, he was a graphic designer working for well-known fashion brands such as Thai Tuan, Thang Loi, Khai Thinh, Long An Textile, Viet Thang, Khatoco. In addition, he is also a lecturer of Fine Arts at Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture and a member of HCMC Fine Arts Association. Hoang graduated from Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture, majoring in Graphic Design. Since 2008, he has been teaching Fine Arts at the same school he graduated from. He lives in Phu Nhuan and Nha Be, HCMC and has his own workshop.

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.
