Hong Viet Dung was born in 1962 in Hanoi, Vietnam. He graduated with a degree in painting from the Hanoi Industrial College of Fine Arts in 1984 and is one of the most well-known artists identified in the “Gang of Five”. His paintings often depict figures standing in solitude, sometimes holding simple objects. He uses pale and distinctly muted colors to bring a sense of calm to his works. Hong Viet Dung (Dzung) is a devote Buddhist and conveys his meditations in his paintings. He brings only the essentials into the foreground allowing the observer to use them as a stage for creating his or her own images and reflecting upon them. Hong Viet Dung produces a very limited number of paintings annually and his artwork is highly sought. He has exhibited around the world and his oil paintings are in the permanent collection of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.
