Ha Manh Thang was born in 1980 in Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam. He left his native province in the north of Vietnam to study at the Hanoi University of Fine Arts from which he graduated in 2004. Ha Manh Thang's artistic work reflects Today's social life in Vietnam. With bright colors, he combines on acrylic on paper the symbols and motifs of both tradition and modernity. His paintings depict the new Vietnam after Doi Moi, the economic progress, the opening, the new taste for expensive branded goods from Western and also the need to preserve Vietnamese heritage and traditions.
Hi work is represented in the Singapore Art Museum's collection. He now lives and works in Hanoi, Vietnam.
