About the Item

‘Immediately Family’ is a large horizontal oil on canvas figurative painting created by Vietnamese artist Dang Xuan Hoa in 2008. Featuring a soft palette mostly made of blue, purple, grey, yellow, and orange tones, the painting seizes our hearts with its moving depiction of a family, each member represented with linear features, grey hair, and a blue mouth. Their faces, invaded by tears, echo the rain that is falling in the background. Three anonymous hands hover above some of the characters, while a small bird is crossing the sky, in a zone unaffected by the rain. “Immediately Family’, along with ‘Family Love’, are two in a series of five paintings that exemplify Hoa’s deep intimate connections with his family. With its poignant depiction and soft palette, this large oil on canvas figurative painting will be a strong focal point in any home, whether placed above a sofa, mantel, or console table. Unframed, the painting is signed lower left. Dang Xuan Hoa is a world-wide respected contemporary Vietnamese artist. He is one of the “Gang of Five” who are known to have changed the direction of art in the early 1990s in Vietnam, which coincided with the destruction of the subsidized economy. This is known as Doi Moi or “The Renovation”, which began the free market economy. As Phan Can Thuong explains in his book on Dang Xuan Hoa, “This event emancipated the spirit of painting, casting off simplistic art to a common expression – abstractionist orientation combined with traditional humanistic ideas. Hoa’s paintings are a process of spiritual development in which love and respect of life serve as a way to better understand himself”. Dang Xuan Hoa expresses emotions through figures and shapes as his compositions appear to be perfect in themselves. His harmony of colors has instant appeal with subtle aesthetics. Common subjects include his wife, daughter, and granddaughter, and depict a harmonious and loving familial atmosphere. His work is in demand all over the world and has been auctioned and exhibited across the globe from New York to Hong Kong to London. One of his pieces, “Life”, painted in 2008, was auctioned and sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong for over $85,000.
