We acquired this work from Cuong’s (Vietnamese, b. 1962) exhibition at The Raffles Hotel in Singapore.

His work holds meanings deeper than the surface simplicity of his art, the latter arresting in itself. We liked how his human figures are always framed within the objects of their passion, in this instance, the kite fliers who dream of soaring into the sky.
