What's in Dang Phuong Viet's exhibition 'Fish Painting'?

Painter Dang Phuong Viet has just 'joined hands' with monk Phan Minh Thong to organize the exhibition 'Fish Painting' in Ho Chi Minh City.

Dang Phuong Viet's Fish Painting Exhibition places viewers in front of a painting ecosystem, where all elements such as form, rhythm, texture and light operate together as a unified organism. The theme of fish is no longer a metaphor but becomes the operating structure of life full of reincarnation, symbiosis and silence.

Beneath the vibrant colors, this series of paintings reveals a very serious sense of structure. Rhythm is established through the movement of the fish and the brushstrokes, the composition is asymmetrical but stable, the colors are organized in a warm spectrum, always with a low anchor point to avoid falling into visual ease. The texture in the paintings, from lacquer to synthetic materials, is not used to show off the material but to evoke tactile emotions.

Dang Phuong Viet is famous for his lotus paintings - a symbol of purity, rebirth and kindness. However, he does not limit himself to a single world . In his creative journey, the artist constantly renews himself through different themes such as paintings of the sea, flowers, streets, etc.

With the exhibition Fish Painting, Dang Phuong Viet continues to introduce works with a new theme. According to the artist, fish is a symbol of movement, prosperity and energy. If lotus is stillness and contemplation, fish is movement, vitality and explosion.

Despite changing subject matter, the artist still maintains stability in technique, with a harmonious color palette and the ability to convey emotions. From lotus to fish, Dang Phuong Viet's artistic journey is not only a shift in image but also an expansion of the spiritual range - where beauty is spread, connecting with viewers with new excitement.

The Fish Painting Exhibition takes place from November 2 to 20, at Painting Castle (Tan My ward, Ho Chi Minh City)
