Tran Trun Ting
DESCRIPTION
Tran Trung Tin painted in Hanoi during the 1960s and
70s, conveying the experience of the Vietnamese at war
and the essence of human emotion in his images. When
he was 12, he joined the Resistance against the French
who occupied Vietnam, devoting his youth to freeing his
country only to be disappointed by the repression and
misery that followed. Living in Hanoi during the Vietnam
War, forbidden to express himself in words, he turned to
painting to communicate the contradictions of his time.
