“My work begins in silence. Through lacquer, paper, glass, and shadow, I trace memory—not to narrate, but to invoke. Surface becomes a threshold, a mirror. Lacquer—reflective and slow—allows me to polish absence, to shape time.”

About Us
The story of Art Vietnam Gallery and its Director, Suzanne Lecht, is as dramatic and transformative as the recent history of Vietnam itself.
Can Van An
An’s work shows subtle dry wit, an underground sense of irony and often teases authority and establishment.

Annamaria Ory
In my works about trees, I want to capture the specific character and the symbolic meaning of a tree at the same time.

Nguyen Thi Chau Giang’s paintings depict the inner world of one Vietnamese woman. Her works present the hardships and difficulties of being a woman in a man’s world, the struggle for personal identity and the sense of self.
Nguyen Thi Chau Giang
