Minimalist paintings by a contemporary Vietnamese artist named Nguyen Thanh Binh only at first glance they seem boring, uninteresting and banal. In fact, there is something so special in them, catchy, forcing you to stop and look with interest at unpretentious plots painted in oil. If we were talking about a person, we could talk about his subtle charm and charisma. Probably, something similar is characteristic of the paintings of this Vietnamese author. Nguyen Thanh Binh does not follow fashion and trends, he has his own understanding of beauty, on the basis of which he creates his laconic paintings. Each of them is a short story with a deep meaning, which can be understood in this way or in such a way. The author compares them to Japanese hokku, in which there are few words, but a lot of philosophy, reflections and deep thoughts. He strives for such content for his form, improving himself as an artist, developing spiritually as a person.
The paintings of this distinctive Vietnamese artist cannot but be recognized among thousands of others. They differ not only in laconicism, but also in characteristic plots, characters, colors and mood in general. Light romantic sadness, melancholy, detachment - some of these notes can be traced in all the works of the painter. And also schematic, precise strokes and clear lines - unexpected severity for such light and delicate paintings. All this, collected into one whole, is the basis of the very charisma that clings, does not allow to remain indifferent and indifferent.
Nguyen Thanh Binh's laconic paintings take part in international exhibitions, traveling through galleries in Asia, America and Europe. You can see these and other works of the author on his website.
