Oc-Eo Art specialises in contemporary Asian fine art and, in particular, contemporary and modern painting from Vietnam. Our Autumn programme will focus in on the new found individualism of the artists we feature from both Vietnam and China.
Doi Moi (Renovation) was launched in Vietnam in 1986 with a call to ‘untie the strings’, to provide free space for the full development of literature and art.
For artists, ‘untie the strings’ meant refusing the rules of socialist realism, its monotony of style, form and topic. Quickly returning to the rich pre-colonial heritage of their tradition, they have also tried to absorb and digest all the achievements of a century of western modernism - from cubism, expressionism, abstraction, to surrealism, abstract expressionism and pop-art - and to make from this cultural cross-roads, something uniquely Vietnamese.
Oc-Eo Art's collection of both young and established contemporary and fine art from Vietnam perfectly captures the yearning for individual freedom, self-affirmation and personal discovery that has characterised Vietnamese painting since ‘Doi Moi’.
