Dang Thao Ngoc paints her view of the world, and especially of women’s place in the world, in vivid oils on canvas. Her imagery draws on traditional Vietnamese iconography as well as contemporary themes. The juxtaposition of the influences is visually arresting and thought provoking, as are the subjects of Ngoc’s scrutiny.
