Dang Xuan Hoa was born in 1959 in Nam Dinh and is a graduate of Hanoi Fine Arts College. Hoa has frequently exhibited with the celebrated group known as the “Hanoi Gang of Five”. Dang Xuan Hoa’s work has an expressionistic, abstractionist orientation combined with traditional humanistic ideas. Humans and objects are his two main topics and probably follow him throughout his life. Hoa’s paintings not only have depth but also are powerful in their simplicity and emanate a sensation of perfection. For him, painting is a process of spiritual development in which love and respect for life serve as a way to better understand. Dang Xuan Hoa is one of the few younger artists who are represented in the prestigious Vietnam Fine Arts Museum as well as Singapore Art Museum. He has participated in several solo and group exhibitions both in Vietnam and abroad including Cuba, Singapore, Hong Kong, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and United States.
