AWDB spoke to Leo Nguyen of Thang Long Art Gallery on the occasion of their presentation at Asian Art in London 2025. Established in Hanoi in 1996, the gallery joined this year’s edition with the exhibition ‘Vietnam – Enchanting Beauty’, hosted by Sotheby’s New Bond Street and showcasing contemporary works by artists such as Hong Viet Dung, Nguyen Thanh Binh, Vu Cong Dien and Ngo Van Sac.

The gallery’s presentation emphasised how post-colonial Vietnam has navigated its history through material innovation and visual calm, a contrast to the frenetic global art market. Rather than focusing on antiquities (as many other galleries at AAL do), Thang Long foregrounds contemporary trajectories and evolving techniques, reflecting the gallery’s mission to extend Vietnam’s voice within international conversations about identity, tradition and modernity.

On 1st November, Thang Long Art Gallery will hold an exhibition titled Vietnam – Enchanting Beauty hosted by Sotheby's New Bond Street. The exhibition will showcase exquisite works from notable Vietnamese contemporary artists, including Hong Viet Dung (1962) from the renowned “Gang of Five”, Nguyen Thanh Binh (1954), Vu Cong Dien (1976) and Ngo Van Sac (1980). Each with their unique style and technique, unveils a distinct perspective that reflects their deep appreciation for the enchanting beauty of Vietnam.

Arts of Asia magazine has published an in-depth 8-page article by art historian Kerry Nguyen-Long, written about artist Phung Pham, giving a unique perspective - the perspective of international collectors, on one of the most prominent Vietnamese artists of the Post-war period - Artist Phung Pham.
