The beauty of Vietnamese Lacquer in “Still Life” by Bui Huu Hung

Date

“Still Life” is an artwork that whispers its secrets, drawing you into a world where silence speaks louder than words. At first glance, it presents a seemingly simple arrangement all set against a deep, almost infinite backdrop. But as your eyes linger, you begin to realise that this simplicity is deceptive, drawing you into a world rich with quiet meaning.

The objects are more than just everyday items; they are symbols, each carrying its weight of history and tradition. The deep, velvety darkness that envelops the scene adds to the sense of mystery, creating a space that feels both intimate and vast. It’s as if these objects are floating in a void, detached from the world yet anchored by their significance.

“Still Life” is a meditation on the beauty of the overlooked, the quiet power of moments that exist outside of the rush of time.
