Nguyen Van Cuong - Previous Sales

Nguyen Van Cuong was born in 1976 in Bac Giang Province, Vietnam. He graduated at the top of his class from the Hanoi Fine Art University in 1999 and is currently a lecturer at the National College of Music and Painting. “My current paintings are an attempt to show the contradiction between who women are and who they make themselves up to be. They address contradictions: femininity versus frivolity, truth versus fallacy, purity versus vulgarity, true beauty versus a sheath of deception … I hope that "Makeup Faces" gives the viewer a subtle but provocative message with the aesthetic contained within each piece. Even better would be that the paintings lead to a dialog about "Makeup" and its implications for beauty."
