Le Quy Tong

Le Quy Tong’s series of “Bridge” paintings has received great accolades from the art cognoscenti and the public. This collection is inspired by the Long Bien Bridge, which is not only a part of Hanoi’s physical landscape but also a potent symbol of its spirit. Spanning the river through times of war and peace, the bridge, although old and worn now, still carries the legends ad stories of the ancient city it serves.

Tong sees the movement of the people and things across the bridge as part of the life and rhythm of Hanoi. Here he is also witness to the poverty of Hanoi’s many citizens. In a city marked by its colorful palette of powerful reds, green leaves, brown roofs, and charming young girls in ao dais, Tong brings new emotion and mood to the city through his use of grey tones and limited colors.
