Ha Manh Thang was born in 1980 in Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam. He left his native province in the North of Vietnam to study at the Hanoi University of Fine Arts from which he graduated in 2004.
Ha Manh Thang's artistic work reflects Today's social life in Vietnam. With bright colors, he combines on acrylic on paper the symbols and motifs of both tradition and modernity. His paintings depict the new Vietnam after Doi Moi, the economic progress, the opening, the new taste for expensive branded goods from Western and also the need to preserve vietnamese heritage and traditions.
"For me art is a way to define my own life in a different way. It is like a circle of time, memory and history. I am interested in how meaning is ascribed to images especially historically and culturally significant images. My works usually weave images from my own cultural history and pop culture with the social exigencies I find in contemporary life..."

  1. I completely agree with Pham Cam Thuong **(Art Critic), "Vietnamese Artists are completely frothy and trifling.
    Artists of Vietnam are unbelievably obsequious and servile to the lowbrow art dealers.
    They have absolutely no ego of any kind whatsoever"
    I think of them as SCAM ARTISTS so many more than the word ARTIST truly means...
    VIETNAMESE CONTEMPORARY ART IS A SCAMMING BUSINESS!
    If you mess with 'motherfucking Vietnamese Viruses', you will definitely pay the deadly price...!!!
