Nguyen Than (Vietnamese, b. 1948) is a prominent contemporary Vietnamese artist celebrated for his evocative, nostalgic paintings. After moving south in 1954, he faced political restrictions post-1975, which halted his artistic career for over a decade, during which he worked as a cyclo driver. Returning to painting in the late 1980s, Than quickly gained acclaim with exhibitions spanning Hong Kong, Singapore, Miami, London, Tokyo, and Paris. His work often reflects a deep connection to Vietnam’s cultural past, with women as central figures, and has grown increasingly abstract over time.
