Eight Gallery is excited to introduce the solo exhibition ‘Nguyen Xuan Viet: Keeper of the flame for lacquer painting.’ Widely known among the Vietnamese art community for decades, Nguyen Xuan Viet has dedicated his whole life and creative energy for lacquer painting, like a flame keeper for the material that requires a great deal of patience and meticulousness. His works revolve around the themes of nature (especially lotus), portraits of statues from ancient temples, and abstraction. Other than some significant lacquer works, the exhibition will also showcase his other oil paintings.
