AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
La Ba Quan, born in 1976, is an inspiring artist known for his bold expressionism style. Graduated from Hanoi Fine Art University with a Master’s Degree in Fine Art, Quan quickly became known for his unique portraiture style. La Ba Quan is a member of the Hanoi Fine Art Association and currently lives and works in Hanoi.
Throughout his career, Quan has organized several group exhibitions in Hanoi, Shanghai, London, Tel Aviv, The Hague, Shanghai, Brussels, Hamburg, and New York, with works showcased at various international art fairs, including The Affordable Art Fair in London and New York City.
La Ba Quan is a Vietnamese fine art painter, born in 1976 in Nam Dinh Province. His subjects are human emotions, joy and sorrow, powerfully depicted in his distorted portraits.
Quan graduated from the College of Arts Nam Dinh in Nam Dinh province in 1999. After gaining experience in various types of work, he decided to return to further his knowledge and skills, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree at Hanoi University of Fine Arts in 2005 in Vietnam. To improve his methodology, logic, and literary argumentation, he studied and obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree at Hanoi University of Fine Arts in 2010.
La Ba Quan paints with thick layers of paint, often directly from the tube using a palette knife to achieve his result. Since 2005, he has been working on a series of portraits called The Emotion of an Old Man. This series of paintings, as well as many of his other works, are inspired by his father, who endured hardship and poverty during wartime. His paintings directly reflect his life and his father's life, showing admiration and gratitude towards his nation, which suffered through the painful war period, and whose memories return in Quan's haunting portrait images. Focused on individual stories and personal conditions, he manages to narrate their living tales and paint their wordless misery, inner feelings and sorrow, and sometimes happiness.
La Ba Quan has participated in several group and solo exhibitions in New York, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Israel, as well as in Vietnam. He works with oil, lacquer, and acrylics, and is also interested in photography.
