Thang Long Art (昇龍)
“Thang Long” is the former name of Hanoi, chosen by Emperor Ly Thai To, the first ruler of the Ly Dynasty, as the ancient capital of Vietnam in the year 1010. “Thang” (昇) means Ascending and “Long” (龍) means Dragon. The name carries in itself a thousand years of history and culture of Vietnam’s capital city.
Established in May 1996, Thang Long Art stands as one of the longest-established art galleries in Vietnam. Located in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, our gallery is also one of the largest in the capital, spanning over 520m2 (5,600 sqft). Over the last three decades, we have built strong relationships and developed together with many leading established artists in Vietnam. We have on display artworks that are increasingly rare and exclusive from master artists such as Vu Duy Nghia (1935-2022, To Ngoc Van’s class 1955-1957), Phung Pham (b.1932) and Nguyen Trung (b.1940). Thang Long Art also supports and promotes emerging artists with exhibitions held in Vietnam, the UK, Japan, Singapore, UAE (Dubai), etc.

As part of Asian Art in London 2024, we will hold a group exhibition at Bonhams Mayfair.
“A Glimpse of Vietnam” – “Một Thoáng Việt Nam”
“A Glimpse of Vietnam” consists of human stories painted by four notable Vietnamese artists, each with their own distinctive and unique point of view and rich with character. The exhibition will showcase a diverse collection of artworks by Master artist Phùng Phẩm (b.1932), artist Lê Thiết Cương (b.1962), women artist Lý Trần Quỳnh Giang (b.1978), and artist Ngô Văn Sắc (b.1980).
The four artists, each hailing from different art generations – from the post-French-colonial era (Hậu Đông Dương) to post-1986 Vietnam’s Renovation (Đổi Mới), through to Contemporary, each with their distinct signature styles and techniques: Phùng Phẩm’s mastery of cubism on traditional Vietnamese lacquer, Lê Thiết Cương’s minimalism with gouache on cheesecloth, Quỳnh Giang’s intense expressions through oil on canvas, and Ngô Văn Sắc’s unique wood-burn and mixed media portraits.
Four artists, four unique styles, and four different perspectives, join together in a symphony to take the viewers on a journey about the culture and the people of Vietnam.
