Ana Mandara Villas Dalat Resort & Spa hosts the exceptional art exhibition "Ordinary Dream" by artist Tran Quoc Long, one of the most prominent names in contemporary lacquer painting in Vietnam. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2024, to November 15, 2024, at the elegant Le Lycée art space of Ana Mandara Dalat Resort, where visitors can not only immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Dalat but also experience inspiring works of art.

A distinctive approach to lacquer painting

Artist Tran Quoc Long, born in 1981 in Thanh Hoa, has built an impressive art career with a distinctive, profound approach to lacquer painting. He has held several notable solo exhibitions, including "3600 Days" in Hanoi (2014), "Flowers in the Night" in Ho Chi Minh City (2018), and "Swaying Clouds" at Alpha Art Station (2022). Tran Quoc Long has participated in numerous prestigious group exhibitions, including "Meeting in Dalat" (2022) and "Hanoi Collecting 5" (2022), and was among the top 20 finalists for the UOB Art Award in 2023 in Hanoi.

When viewing the paintings in Tran Quoc Long's "Ordinary Dream," one sees a mysterious, intense, harmonious, and liberating beauty, prompting a reconsideration of preconceived notions of "beauty."

The beauty within chaos reflects a "worldly," "human" nature, just like the essence of life and society. Whether it's a drifting "cloud," sunlight piercing through a "Still Life" in a small studio, a "Dream City," or the sound of piano from "The Neighbor," these are ordinary moments from the artist's life in Dalat.

From sea to mountain, over 30 years of quietly pursuing traditional lacquer painting, Tran Quoc Long has carved out a unique path. He infuses a contemporary spirit into and breaks all the rules of traditional lacquer art—his works are wild, unpolished, and deeply profound. With innovative explorations of traditional lacquer materials, he returns to a pure and simple essence.

Notably, his exploration of colors in this exhibition leaves many viewers "wowed" by the surreal landscapes created through his lacquer art. One must experience them firsthand to fully appreciate the depth, clarity, light, and darkness, and to be drawn into the artist's "Ordinary Dream."

Quietly working in his small house in Dalat, Tran Quoc Long finds "happiness" in his journey through life and art.
