We met Cuong (b. 1962, Vietnamese) at his exhibition in Singapore, (Raffles Hotel) and he explained the impetus behind this painting. It is of a father wishing for his child to excel academically. See the ink pot and the letters which reflect his aspirations for his child . This struck a chord with us (like all Singaporean parents). We also love his modern contemporary style with an Asian edge.
