ABOUT ARTIST

Born in 1983, grown up in the mother-of-pearl inlay craft village of Chuon Ngo, Hanoi; Nguyen Xuan Luc graduated from Hanoi University of Industrial Fine Arts in 2007, specialized in lacquer.

Coming from a community of many traditional crafts, Lục discovered Raden, a decorative technique used in traditional crafts and woodwork, at the age of 13 and worked with the Raden craft village. Afterwards, Lục continued his practice with lacquer to become a lacquer artist. With passion and intention to combine lacquer and Raden, Nguyễn Xuân Lục uses his skillsets as solid foundation to develop his own artistic identity, style and philosophy in his lacquer works.

His works utilize the techniques of lacquer, painting, shell mosaic... applied to abstract lacquer. From the way he expresses it, we can see the meticulousness and many expressions of high difficulty.
