VIETNAM---Young artist
Lai Thanh Dung, whose lotus paintings were displayed during last week’s celebrations of the
Buddha’s birth in central Hue city, has dedicated all his time to his great passion: depicting the beauty of lotuses. Graduating from the Hue Arts University in 2006, Dung, 31, from northern-central
Quang Binh province, works as a freelance artist in Hue, one of the country’s fine arts hubs. Not drawn to contemporary art forms such as installation or video art, he has single-mindedly pursued his sole subject matter - lotuses. He earned his nickname ‘Lotus Dung’ after his first exhibit featuring a whole world of lotuses, which stand for loftiness and purity in Vietnamese culture. [
