About Nguyen Khang

  • Biography

    Nguyen Khang was born in 1912 in the village of Yen Thai, near Hanoi. He trained at the Hanoi School of Fine Arts, graduating in 1935 with the eminent artists Pham Hau, Tran Van Can and Nguyen Gia Tri.

    A pioneering artist in his field, he was particularly renowned in the art of lacquer. Ingeniously working this traditional Vietnamese medium, notably by chiseling the support and incorporating gold and silver pigments applied directly to the panel, Nguyen Khang's creations are distinguished by their great finesse and modernism.
