Born 1973 in Haiphong - Vietnam
There is the study of basic shapes and a clear recall to the primordial art in the sculptures of this Vietnamese artist.
Chamotte pottery, material used to create them, finds a new test that makes it similar to the rough materials available in nature as wood and stone.
Animals, objects and human figures remind us the sacredness of totems, they keep inside and ancient spirit and suggest a return to the origins.
Lines follow a symbolic idea of the subject. The artist prefers an essential style made of supposed dowels to compose the final sculpture, alternating smooth curves with squares and rectangles.
The female figure looks like one neverending line where the beginning and the end run after up to join.
Nguyen Viet Thang was born in Vietnam where he actually lives and works, he has been taking part to many exhibitions in this country since 2000.
