Flying Dream I

Doan Hoang Lam, born in 1970 in Hanoi, is an accomplished and well-regarded artist who has been featured in numerous group shows and solo exhibits in Vietnam, Thailand, U.S.A, Taiwan. His works are also featured in the "Vietnam Eye - Contemporary Vietnamese" published by Global Eye Programme in 2016. Doan Hoang Lam is a painter of the unseen, of the ephemera of processions, of life cycles, of the tantalizing cerebral realms of desire, orchestrated with a precision and sense of weightlessness that draws the viewer in, like walking through an alluring evening fog. Much of Lam’s work moves beyond description, and lives in the world invented by the artist himself, a type of Objective Abstraction, with a strong emphasis on painterly activity, gesture and calligraphic flickering forms.
