Artist portrays Vietnamese villages on poonah paper

Over the past few decades, this rustic gift of the Vietnamese countryside remains an artistic challenge for artists who search for a breakthrough in Vietnamese contemporary art. Painter Vu Thai Binh spent years researching and perfecting the art of painting on poonah paper. Using water colours on thin poonah paper, he portrayed simple yet beautiful images of people while living in the countryside

Painter Vu Thai Binh said, he is very happy to see many young artists experimenting with poonah paper. This will allow poonah to become more well-known to art-lovers in Vietnam.
