Hoa lotta shakin goin on



This is a painting by Vietnamese artist Dang Xuan Hoa. Is it real or is it fake?

  1. I see Matisse, I see Patrick Heron, I see a fish with a cat's head riding piggy back on another cat...I'm digging this.

  2. Dang certainly can do it up ol' skool... your picking up on the French strain (peep--> École Supérieure des Beaux Arts de l’Indochine 1925-1945). A few artists bridge the cultures well aesthetically. Dang, in particular has potent mix. He's also about as chill and generous a painter as can be. If you ever find yourself in Hanoi, look this guy up.
