Culture and traditions wall art of Vietnam shows people at work and in motion: a figure in a white ao dai walking a bicycle past a golden wall in Hoi An, women embroidering silk panels in Da Lat, and a herder wading through floodwater with a crowd of ducks in the Mekong Delta. You can take any of these as a hand-painted oil piece, or as a printed archival canvas of the same image.
Craft scenes with hands at work
Several paintings stay close to the workbench. In one, a woman ladles batter over a steaming pot while round rice paper sheets dry on bamboo racks in a sunlit courtyard. In another, a weaver works at a wooden loom with hanks of dyed yarn hanging behind her. Craftsmen in conical hats shape a wooden hull in the rain under a thatched roof, lit by a single lantern. Lantern makers in blue and red tunics work among spools of thread in Hoi An. Vietnamese Crafts holds all of these craft scenes.
Ao dai, conical hats and city walls
The ao dai appears in very different settings. A figure in yellow walks among rust-orange iron girders at Long Bien Bridge in Hanoi, with a blue cloudy sky between the beams. A figure in red rests beside dark red wooden doors on worn stone tiles. Two figures in peach and green move along a path before a cream palace and a bright lawn in Saigon. Women in long ao dai bend over silk panels in a grey Da Lat workroom. More of these are gathered in Áo Dài.
Rivers, terraces and village life
The landscapes carry daily life in them. A figure in a conical hat stands on a bamboo Monkey Bridge over a misty canal at dusk. Farmers cut ripe rice and carry sheaves along a curving terrace path under blue hills. Hmong market stalls of folded cloth and woven baskets sit under a cloudy sky in Sapa. Round boats float on a pale fishing bay below thatched huts. The Mekong views also hang in Mekong Delta.
Colour on the wall
The palette runs from the red of the lacquer workshop and the temple pillars, with their bronze burners and blue-white smoke, to the grey and blue of the embroidery room. The amber sunset of the duck herder sits well on a pale or white wall, while the grey and teal of the rainy boat builders suit a calmer corner. The Hoi An lantern street brings red, orange and green over deep blue, and its neighbours live in Hoi An.
