“I am as interested in the preservation of traditions as I am in issues of contemporary daily life. I will continue painting, aware of the world’s current progress, but also aware of my soul, the soul of a Vietnamese artist.”
Buddhism and Taoism have been strong influences in the life and work of Khanh. In some of his devotional paintings, Chinese calligraphy adorns prayer books or is placed in the heart of a painting to give meaning and significance to the ritual that is being performed.
