Hanoi's "mad artist". Born in 1960, graduated from Hanoi's School of Fine Arts in 1986. A prolific painter, Dung works primarily in gouache, creating abstract figures and compositions much influenced by Chagall and Miro. Also paints farm animals based on traditional Vietnamese designs. Unique in Vietnam as painter who employs strong, vibrant colors. Often refuses to be exhibited, though his paintings are popular with foreign collectors frequenting the one gallery in Saigon that was able to rescue pieces from being burned by the artist himself.
