Artist Nguyen Xuan Viet
Painter Nguyen Xuan Viet studied painting at the Vietnam College of Fine Arts since 1966. He served in the army in the Southern battlefield from 1968 to 1975.
In 1975, he met and studied painting art with famous artist Nguyen Gia Tri. In early 1990, Nguyen Xuan Viet was assigned by artist Nguyen Gia Tri to do the final work to complete the famous painting Spring Garden, Central South and North. He has exhibited in Bulgaria, Moscow, and Paris.
Nguyen Xuan Viet once opened a lacquer class for 10 Thai painters at Sipakorn University of Fine Arts, Bangkok. Nguyen Xuan Viet's paintings appeared in many personal collections of domestic and foreign collectors.
“It can be said that Nguyen Xuan Viet is an excellent student of Nguyen Gia Tri, because not only did he learn the art of lacquer but also learned Nguyen Gia Tri's living and working style. It was he who recorded and edited the everyday but immortal sayings of Nguyen Gia Tri into the book "Nguyen Gia Tri about creativity" which has been republished for the third time," collector Truong Van Thuan acknowledged.
Artist Nguyen Thi Bich Nga was born in 1961 in Saigon. She graduated from Polytechnic University but became attached to painting when she married artist Nguyen Xuan Viet.
Her painting career started with working as a lacquer worker, and gradually she learned to draw and paint many subjects with all types of materials. She has participated in national exhibitions and many individual exhibitions and group exhibitions in Thailand and in Ho Chi Minh City.
