Two galleries – the UK’s Hanoi Art House and Singapore’s ArtBlue Studio – displayed oil, lacquer, and acrylic paintings by 13 artists, including Thanh Chuong, Phuong Binh, Bui Trong Du, Hoang Duc Dung, Le Thanh Son, Duong Sen, Nguyen Lam, and Phuong Quoc Tri.
Hoa Angie, Director of the Hanoi Art House, which specializes in Vietnamese art, said Vietnamese paintings, particularly lacquer paintings, are gaining popularity among the British public because of exhibitions and fairs like the Affordable Art Fair.
With thousands of contemporary artworks from 100 galleries in the UK and 17 other countries, this year’s fair attracted some 25,000 visitors, said Hugo Barclay, the fair’s director. The event included workshops, art tours, and discussions, and provided international painters and photographers an opportunity to connect and promote their art.

Barclay said: “Our data over the years show that British art lovers want to access, explore, and buy foreign works. Hanoi Art House has participated in the fair for 10 years which shows that the British are interested in Vietnamese art and the UK is a promising market. We welcome and are ready to support Vietnamese galleries to participate in the Fair.”
The Affordable Art Fair is a prestigious annual international art trade fair that was established in 1999 as an accessible and comfortable place for people to look at and purchase works of art.
