Welcome to the art land of Nguyen Hoang Ngan
Nguyen Hoang Ngan – Artist / Author / Creator
Being well-known as a famous fashion designer in Vietnam, Nguyen Hoang Ngan confessed that her approach to fine art is naïve and flying like a child’s dream. Since 2015, after many years of successfully creating and building her fashion brand, Ngân started investing more time in the arts as a serious painter. “I’ve come to paintings since I was a little girl, started my first drawing at 6, and until now I still chose fine art to be representative of my fashion designs, to tell my stories, even secrets, and to describe my deepest feelings, ideas.”
The artworks of this exhibition are improvised and emotional, almost from her pure instinct, with ‘dancing’ hatches actively shown on each painting. The blending in her works is sometimes colorful and fashionable, occasionally minimalist with only black and white. Suppose Ngân’s concept influences something. In that case, it must be the stories about the scents of the flowers she loves, the grace in dancers’ movements on the background classical music she listens to every day, which stayed in her memory. Those images popped out unconsciously, transferred onto her paintings when she was on the highest pick of inspiration. In most of her works, we can tend to feel somewhere the ‘glaze’ of a fashion designer, who’s passionately transforming herself into art.
