Pham Kien Giang, born in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 1969. A self taught artist, Giang grew up in rural Bac Ninh province by the Red River. Mr. Giang lived in Europe for 7 years. Then returned to his childhood town of Bat Trang to devote himself to his art. Giang paints, oil on canvas, in a visual language to fit his own unique interpretation of the Vietnamese countryside. An emerging artist, Mr. Giang has been recognized with an article by Ian Findlay, editor of the magazine, Asian Art News, January/February 2005 edition, which stated, “ Pham Kien Giang shows us a singular …world between reality and dream, …an inner peace within his painting.” Giang unfailingly demonstrates a deft, unique composition perspective, with few, but telling elements, in each painting, rendered with both a subtle and dramatic sense of color.
