- Artist Thanh Chuong has a very individual and unique way of looking at the world, paired with an intelligent and flexible aesthetic sensibility. His paintings embody a profound folk sensibility, from the subject matter to the use of colours and lines, and the conventionalised and decorative shapes.
In 2001 Thanh Chuong’s work "Love" was chosen by the United Nations as the symbol for the International Year of Volunteers, and he became the first Asian painter who had a painting printed on the UN stamps.
