Đỗ Khải
The Journey into Art
In addition, he used to be an Art teacher and worked at the Central Office of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association. He specializes in painting with lacquer and using traditional lacquer called Son ta. His artworks have been collected by the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, the Vietnam Military History Museum, Da Nang Fine Arts Museum as well as a lot of individual collectors all over the world.
Most of his Vietnamese artworks with the theme of lotus are painted directly by artist Do Khai at Gia Lam lotus pond. His lacquer paintings of lotus are varied and illusory. His lotus is mainly white, pink, blue, and gray – White for lotus flowers, Green for lotus leaves, and Gray for dying leaves. At first glance, viewers think that the artist uses few colors, but when looking closely, each painting is a “symphony” of colors.
