Nguyen Bao Toan (Vietnamese, contemporary)Sapa Womensigned indistinctly l.r. and dated 2008, hand-embellished photograph with collage42 x 105cm, unframedBorn in Hanoi in 1950, Toan uses colour, collage and dynamic lines for his abstract village scenes. He has illustrated both the conflict of the Vietnam War and the harmony of peacetime in his homeland, where he continues to reside.Some of the collage is coming loose at the left edge, canvas is a little loose, loss to printed material at very edges of canvas, but generally it is fine.
