About the Item

‘Chuong Duong Bridge’ is a large horizontal contemporary cityscape oil on canvas painting created by Vietnamese artist Le Quy Tong in 2012. Featuring one of Hanoi’s bridges the Chương Dương located across from the historical Long Biên Bridge, the painting showcases a muted palette mostly made of brown, grey, blue and red tones. The center of the composition is occupied by the overpass, under and over which a few cars are passing. The perfect rendition of the cars’ fast movement adds to the kinetic feel of the painting. This painting belongs to a collection inspired by the Long Biên 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 and stories of the ancient city it serves. With its great proportions and modern subject, this large horizontal cityscape painting will complement any home’s décor beautifully. Unframed, the painting is signed lower right. Born in Hanoi, Le Quy Tong graduated from the oil painting department at Hanoi Fine Art University where he received his M.F.A in 2001. Tong sees the movement of the people and things as part of the life and rhythm of Hanoi. He brings new emotion and mood to the city through his use of grey tones and limited colors. The gestural brushstrokes and movement of the paint are alive and vibrant. His series of "Bridge" paintings has received great accolades from the art cognoscenti and the public. Le Quy Tong’s works are collected internationally including the Bodnar Art Collection, have been sold at auction including Larasati in Hong Kong and are in the Vietnam Museum of Fine Art.
