Van Art Gallery is a convergence of two worlds: The tradition and refinement of Vietnamese people and the open, free, borderless art. From this intersection, Van Art Gallery was born as a space where national cultural identity breathes life into contemporary works, touching the audience’s emotions through the language of beauty. At Van Art, we do not just display paintings, we tell stories through colors, brushstrokes, and the genuine vibrations of the artists. Prominent is the creative journey of in-house artist Bui Le Dung with works created through the depth of soul closely connected to the land and Vietnamese people. Art Philosophy
Van Art’s art is a soul bridge connecting artists and viewers. Each work is created from sincere emotions, from quiet reflections on life. Mission
Van Art’s mission is to preserve and develop Vietnamese artistic values, while creating a space connecting artists and art lovers. We wish to bring art closer to life so that everyone has the chance to feel and live with beauty in every moment. Vision
Van Art Gallery aims to become a reputable art center, gathering talented Vietnamese painters along with works that carry high aesthetic value and deep cultural significance. DISCOVER VIETNAMESE ART As one of the artists closely and deeply associated with VanArt Gallery, Bui Le Dung is known for a series of realistic and vivid acrylic paintings capturing the everyday breaths of Hanoi. Old streets, old roofs, and familiar landscapes become full of emotion through his brush. He not only paints but also records the spirit of the streets, bringing a sense of familiarity and stirring as though taking viewers into a memory preserved by colors. Self-portrait of artist Bui Le Dung “I want to paint the streets of Hanoi in the most authentic way”
Artist Bui Le Dung Artist Nguyen Doan Son brings an art world harmonizing realism and creative expression. His oil paintings and “calligraphy paintings” evoke Vietnamese cultural values while opening emotional contemporary perspectives.
Oil Paintings
Artist Nguyen Xuan Quyen brings to Van Art Gallery poetic works recalling the pure beauty of nature and peaceful life rhythm. With clear tones, soft light, and harmonious composition, his paintings open a tranquil space where viewers find reflection and peace in each art moment. Artist Tu Ninh brings simple yet refined works, unveiling daily life beauty through expressive light and colors. His paintings are quiet and deep, leaving a gentle resonance reminding of nature, family, and humane everyday moments. Artist Vu Thang asserts his mark with emotive lacquer paintings combining tradition and innovation spirit. With strong surface modeling, engraved lines, and abstract color blocks, his works open inner depth reflecting memories and existential emotions. Art with Vietnamese Soul Van Art does not only display paintings, we preserve and retell very Vietnamese stories through colors, materials, and soul. Each piece is a cultural slice, a memory stream, a traditional beauty breathed into by contemporary perspectives. Respect for Originality At Van Art, no two paintings are the same. We believe in the value of originality, where each brushstroke is a unique moment, never repeated, carrying the sincere emotions of the artist at the time of creation. Space that Touches Emotions Van Art is where art is alive. Paintings are not just for viewing, but to feel, think, and connect. From light, color to arrangement, everything is crafted to cherish the viewer’s emotions, leading them into an exquisitely aesthetic world. Bridge Between Artists and Public We do not build distance between art and life. Van Art is where beauty lovers listen to the artist’s own storytelling about their creative journey, feel sincerity in every work, and sometimes, see themselves reflected in it.
